Your Track-by-Track Expedition:
"Fuckin' Do 1" - The journey begins with an explosive entrance. This track launches the album with a ferocious blast of trap influences marked by aggressive rap, thunderous 808 bass, and swift, rolling hi-hats. It’s a bold statement of arrival that sets the high-energy tone for what’s to follow.
"Humble Pie"Â - Venturing further, we encounter our first guest artist, a distinguished UK rapper whose gritty delivery complements the homegrown talent of Battle for Athens. The track is a perfect blend of international rap scenes, showcasing global influences that enrich the album's diversity.
"GENDER WAYANG" - Midway through the album, this track presents a standout vocal duel that draws from the mystical sounds of Southeast Asia. The ingenious sampling of David Attenborough’s field recordings of metallophones used in Balinese and Javanese gamelan music adds a cultural depth and sonic novelty that is mesmerizing.
"Unholy Congregations"Â - A surprising shift in tone, this track reunites Battle for Athens with WilNeverTell from the once-renowned group Haunted Authors. Known for their raucous, high-energy performances, this reunion opts for a subdued, lo-fi aesthetic that offers a reflective pause in the album's progression, delighting fans with a nostalgic yet fresh sound.
"Smoking Orange Juice" - As the album nears its climax, this future bass-inspired track elevates the energy once more. Featuring the vocal talents of Grant Parker, who transitions from drummer to rapper, it demonstrates the band’s willingness to explore and push boundaries, both in genre and in personnel.
The grand finale, "Fire Below,"Â is a reimagined piece originally by How He Melts Her. Transformed into a dubstep-metal hybrid for "Sepulchre," it features the distinctive vocals of Mango Dunks, cheekily referred to as 'the worst rapper alive.' This track is a fiery conclusion to an album that constantly challenges and entertains, leaving listeners in awe of its creative ambitions.
"Sepulchre" is more than just music; it’s a manifesto of musical innovation and audacity. Battle for Athens has not only transcended genre norms but has also crafted an album that is a vivid exploration of musical artistry and expression.
