Danish death metal band Dysgnostic have revealed their album closer via Machine Music who have also done a short interview with them AT THIS LINK. The song is unfathomably dark and enveloping and the song progresses in its own suspenseful manner. Here’s an excerpt from the well-written premiere –
“the meditative, crushing, and absolutely stunning “Darkest Muse,” presented here along with the other available singles… Yes, it will annihilate you, that much is unsurprisingly clear. But it does so in a manner that, perhaps resembling Zhrine and Ulcerate, shows intent. They don’t drown you in it, in other words, they trap you into it.”

Known as Defilementory in a previous avatar, the critically acclaimed Danish death metal band were rechristened Dysgnostic to reflect a more contemporary direction of music that’s more dissonant, technical and even atmospheric in its own dark, mysterious way. On their debut full length, the accomplished musicians find little trouble in weaving together songs that are complex yet engaging, offering undulating moments of intensity as well as enveloping dissonant ambience. The process is so deftly done that it almost has a hypnotic effect on you, despite the music getting challenging at times, and keeps your attention riveted through it all. Upholding the compelling sinuous approach, each of the songs manage to offer a slightly different expression, a glimpse into another dark dimension, and find ways to remain with you long after the album is over. Invariably, the album seeps into your consciousness, its cajoling darkness and wistful tunes making the process easier. The dreamier songs toward the end of the album complete the ritual and take over the possession of your mind, body and soul, as intended.
