THE BEAST

"Impermanence" is an album by Austrian melodic death metal band Xenocracy, released through Kvlt und Kaos Productions. The album represents a philosophical exploration of human existence, suffering, and the ephemeral nature of life. Each of the 12 tracks on the album presents a narrative rich in literary and cultural references, such as "Vanitas" influenced by German Baroque poetry and "Fireflies" inspired by a Japanese war film. The structure of "Impermanence" reflects its thematic concept, with "Overture" and "Reprise" symbolizing the cyclical nature of existence. Produced with an environmentally conscious approach, the CD comes in a Digisleeve format with an 8-page booklet, enhancing the listening experience with visual storytelling. The album, featuring additional artists like Alex Zylla and Esther Hu, is produced and mixed by Janini Pizzicato and mastered by Pizzicato and Zylla. "Impermanence" is a compelling journey for fans of Scar symmetry, At the Gates, and Soilwork, blending heavy melodic soundscapes with profound thematic content.
