Italy\u0092s Assumption return with \u0091Paradox of the Arrow\u0092, a new descent into the strange temporal architecture of Death Doom. Since their earliest recordings the band have treated the genre less as a monolith set in stone than a space in which mass, duration and atmosphere can be manipulated. On \u0091Paradox of the Arrow\u0092 that process advances further, stretching the apparent distance between one moment and the next time itself dissipates into an altered abstraction.<\/p>\n
Assumption\u0092s immense low-end foundations remain, but the band\u0092s heaviness is rarely a matter of density alone. Riffs unfurl geologically, like the convergent boundary to a subduction zone, before abruptly accelerating into passages of violent Death Metal, only to collapse again into long intervals of suspension, dissonant guitar resonance and spectral ambience. Guttural vocals emerge from deep within while drums alternately measure out enormous spaces and rupture them without warning. Melody appears in oblique fragments rather than conventional resolution, and psychedelic details flicker at the margins, where quiet stillness can feel as consequential as impact and the vibrations of beauty and dread dissolve into an amorphous shimmering light.<\/p>\n
Taking its name from Zeno\u0092s ancient paradox of motion; the proposition that an arrow in flight, observed at any single instant, is motionless; \u0091Paradox of the Arrow\u0092 finds an apt philosophical analogue for Assumption\u0092s music. These 6 tracks from the depths draw the listener through successive states of movement and inertia, collapsing the notion of linear time. Across its prolonged passages and sudden eruptions, the album continually distorts the sense of scale and duration. By the time the arrow reaches its mark, the path behind it feels far less certain than when it began. <\/p>\n
