Cognizance - In Light, No Shape

Technical Melodic Death Metal from Leeds, U.K. / Graz, Austria

“In Light, No Shape” is a masterful progressive death metal opus, rich in texture and atmospheric detail, offering everything long-standing fans have been craving, whilst drawing on the technical extremity of Death, Extol and Meshuggah from the mid-90s. This time, the band deliberately breaks with the conventions of modern extreme metal productions, opting instead for a more organic and immersive mix that brings out the distinctive characteristics of their work even more strongly.
