‘K2 ’ is an intriguing metaphysical concept about a man going through a deep search of his inner self, mixing furious Thrash riffs and Progressive/Avantgarde atmospheres with a post-Death Metal touch. Recorded in Italy and mixed and mastered in Sweden by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth) at Fascination Street, ‘K2’ features a very special guest appearance by Annihilator frontman Dave Padden.

Gandhi under crack and a small twisted spoon, outside soluble rebellions of the O.N.U, in my head deflagrations and asphyxiating shell, MIG 21 takeoff, now this New World Order has its antithesis, its soundtrack is perfect: Modern post metal as Dali or Tool under ecstasy, ADIMIRON spits with this crashing third album (after Burning Souls in 2004 and When Reality Wakes up in 2009) which combines the best of Fear Factory in its musical architecture, and an epileptic Meshuggah, in clear intensity.

Registered in Italy, “K2” enjoyed a production “al dente” at Swedish Fascination Street Studios led by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth,…) that propels the metal work of heights of efficiency. It ploughs deep, spin it, it leaves no agreements.

Gojira merging with a martial Morbid Angel, the flesh and skeleton in short, this “Open-Thrash” ravaged metal projects in the XXII century. A major project, enjoyable and conducted master-hand by inspired musicians (the emergence of Dave Padden in the song “The Whisperer” and hearing annihilation, showing the serious resluts) and who makes this introspective and metaphysics trip, will find a place alongside the latest Zuul Fx, Mnemic or Textures, when Intelligence in Art is not masturbatory and crippling. Pink Floyd flayed alive, Machine Head licking Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, selected, friends, your ingredients.

This music is the sweet smell of the Molotov cocktail.
It inflames your senses-

8/10
