Chryst
Chryst is the latest venture for mainman Christof Niederwieser, who
previously led
Korova and that band's successor
Korovakill.
Another way to look at this is Korova/Korovakill minus everyone else,
as Niederwieser is all alone here but following the same blueprint as
his former bands, which is eclectic, quirky, avant-garde extreme metal,
here represented as one 47-minute song which is the 2011 album
PhantasmaChronica.
To these ears, the work would have been better served by breaking
up the song in parts, as there are plenty of interesting parts to seek
out even though sitting through the entire album is a bit trying.
Even though this album gets a thumbs up, it could be said that the
execution doesn't live up to the potential of what Niederwieser was
goingn for.
He has always kept a rather low profile, and as such it's
hard to tell if he's still working under the Chryst name (though at
this point that seems a bit unlikely).
