Kardashev - Liminal Rite - CD DIGIPAK

Kardashev are arguably the leading proprietors when it comes to the niche deathgaze genre, since their inception creating a distinct combination of death metal, shoegaze and other flavors, evolving with every release. In 2022, they return with sophomore full-length, Liminal Rite, which further pushes the boundaries, delivering a release that is as ruthlessly heavy as it is delicate and fragile.

Forged in 2012, KARDASHEV‘s mission statement could best be described as, “Attempting to create the most beautiful, heavy music through themes of love, loss, and altruism in the metal spectrum.” The band dropped their debut full-length Peripety in 2015 and has since focused on short form concept records, most recently 2021's stirring The Baring Of Shadows. Rarely approaching the creation of a record with any preconceptions or plans as to what form it will take, they work until what they generally envisaged manifests itself. The result is this year’s Liminal Rite featuring eleven deeply rousing, poignant, and musically grandiose tracks.
