WORLD NARCOSIS 'Lyruljóra'

The Reykjavik-based quartet dabbled in black metal in their earlier days but have always been slaves to the grind first and foremost. On their new LP, Lyruljóra, the youngsters have doubled down on their atonal, experimental tendencies, and embraced the elements that make them truly unique at home and abroad. They whip together an unpredictable blend of grindcore, noise rock, hardcore, black metal, and screamo, with an emphasis on intricate, emotive songwriting and crackling atmosphere.
