Liturgy
New York band Liturgy has, since its formation in 2005, carved out a reputation for itself as a project that ventures into the genre boundaries of black metal more boldly than any other.
Behind its total, meticulously constructed vision is frontwoman Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, who has described the band's proprietary methodology of "transcendental black metal" in a myriad of musical and philosophical manifestos, drawing on Kabbalah, scholasticism and continental philosophy.
In Liturgy's songs, blastbeats turn into glitches, riffs into chamber music canons, full-bodied noise into silence and vice versa; these sometimes audacious treatments, combined with the philosophical detachment of Hunt-Hendrix, have earned them an equal number of diehard fans and critics.
