For fans of traditional sweeping but slower-paced black metal in the style of Enslaved and Graveland, but with a homebrew twist that calls to mind the most abstract of death metal structuralism, Armophophallus Titanum delivers an album of saturating experiences.

Named after the scientific nomenclature for the giant corpse flower, this band aims to make black metal that is deliberately cerebral but creates a visceral experience through Jungian and Schopenhauerian unconscious symbolism of existential nodal points in the life of someone striving for awareness in a world gone silent.

Brooding, dark, but playful this sweeping black metal eschews blasting madness for a dense mood that gains layers as melodies emerge from contrary impulses that at first appear chaotic, leaving us with a vision like a silent landscape in the subconscious, shrouded in fog and echoing with unheard cries.

Hayley Williams is not a fan of her fellow Nashville resident Morgan Wallen. The Paramore singer first publicly alluded to this last summer in an interview with Stereogum honky tonk correspondent Rachel Brown, during which she revealed that Wallen’s This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen was her least favorite country musician-owned establishment in the city. That helped narrow down who Williams might be referring to on the title track to her recent solo album Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, where she sings “I’ll be the biggest star at this racist country singer’s bar” (Jason Aldean and Kid Rock are also strong contenders). Williams was asked about that lyric a few months later during an interview on the New York Times‘ Popcast: “It could be [about] a couple people, but I’m always talking about Morgan Wallen,” she said. “I don’t give a shit. Find me at Whole Foods, bitch. I don’t care.”
