by Qrixkuor

ClassyMusicSnob Psychadelic Death Metal infused with twisted symphonics. Now this is some awesome and intense Metal that just keeps proving this genre never ever runs out of ideas and it keeps getting heavier and more avant garde. 4.5/5

Metallurgical Fire Like Wolverine, Quixkuor are the best there is at what they do, and what they do isn’t very nice. For the distinctive qualities that they possess the band is definitely underrated. Some people hate long form metal songs, but I DARE any doubter to hate on this band. Challenge yourself.

Camelus Dromedarius More Qrixkuor. If you liked their previous LP, you'll like this. Good atmospheric death metal.

Dmitry Nevozhay Whirlwind of orchestrated chaos, harsh but melodic, creepy and unsettling but alluring. True masters of avantgarde dissonant blackened death.

about

Emerging from the serpentine susurrus left in the wake of last year’s monstrous two-part epic ‘Poison Palinopsia,’ Qrixkuor swiftly rise again to present a new EP entitled ‘Zoetrope’ - a single black arrow of death sent straight to the heart of the world - to be released on CD and CS format on Friday 18th November, joined in darkness again by Invictus Productions in Europe and Dark Descent Records in the USA, with vinyl format to follow in early 2023.

Returning to Priory Recording Studios in Birmingham, England, to record, mix and master the track with the acclaimed Greg Chandler and with cover art this time contributed by the extraordinary Santiago Caruso, the textural approach of ‘Zoetrope’ dilates the divine eye of death metal to unmapped dimensions, dispatching a boot to the face of the idea that it’s marriage with symphonic timbres must be synonymous with floral harmonies backed by sterile production and performed by lifeless sample libraries. ‘Zoetrope’ is majestic, but any beauty has long since withered, and what remains is the discordant dirge of Qrixkuor’s cacophonous duet with the Orchestra of the Eternal Return.

‘Zoetrope’ is an ode to the terror of the cyclic infinite - the endless, silent scream of a mind that has wandered so far that it cannot return. The soul that burns on everlasting, each thousand-year journey the mere blink of an eye. There is no escape…
