Richard G.: It is not entriely clear what is meant precisely by the term ‘indefinable chaos metal. What does become clear, however, from listening to ‘Architecture Of reality’ by Dimensional Psychosis is that we are dealing with a precious metal export product. Members of the Dutch black metal scene have joined their dark forces and have written seven futuristic, machine-like black metal compositions of an impressively high quality.
Extremely tightly executed and complex riff structures are regularly interrupted by illogical side steps and are played at a seething pace as well as with pounding brutality. An unhealthy atmosphere is created by implementing some estranging guitar melodies, creepy bridges, several haunting vocal styles and a subtle layer of keyboards. The resulting sound should be able to please fans of the exponents of the experimental Norwegian black metal scene such as Thorns or DHG. It is only in the eighth (bonus) track that an error of judgement is made: old school thunderdome hardcore is mixed with black metal and it does not really sound good. The regular part of ‘Architecture Of Reality’, however, is absolutely brilliant.
