Greek post-sludge metallers Allochiria just released their third full-length album, "Commotion," via Venerate Industries on April 23rd, 2023. With this album, Allochiria pushes the boundaries of their sound, delivering a mesmerizing mix of post-sludge, prog-sludge, post-black metal, and post-metal that combines melody and heaviness with groovy guitar riffs, eerie melodies, and otherworldly screams. "Commotion" was created and recorded during the COVID-19 lockdowns while the band members lived in different countries of Europe. The album thematically explores humanity's existence, loneliness, the suffocation caused by our repeating routines, resisting change, wars, and crimes against humanity. However, it also offers a glimpse of hope with thoughts of resistance and freedom. The album features nine tracks, each expressing the band's emotions and feelings during the period of isolation, anger, anxiety, and melancholy. The album was produced, recorded, and mixed by Jacopo Fokas at Villa Giuseppe and mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios. With "Commotion," Allochiria proves that they are one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the post-sludge genre. Fans of Cult of Luna, Amenra, Gojira, and Russian Circles will be thrilled with this album. It is available in digital, CD, and LP formats.
