Autarkh

From the fertile grounds of the heavy guitar music scene in Tilburg, rises contemporary metal outfit Autarkh. A group of musical adventurers dedicated to pushing the boundaries of their artistic development. Autarkh is the brainchild of Michel Nienhuis, founding member and composer/guitarist of Dodecahedron. They have a rare musical approach in the world of extreme metal, as the band uses synthetic, IDM-style beats, glitch effects and percussion that is perfectly balanced with crushing riffs and vocals that range from dark growls and tormented screams to exciting harmonies. Lyrically, they tackle themes of inner exploration and recontextualization such as the personal experience of human nature and the nature of the universe.
