London extreme metallers Akercocke are back with their sixth studio effort, Renaissance in Extremis. A reinvention and expansion of the band's multifarious sound, the record delivers euphoric force and mind-boggling weirdness. There are scything thrash and death metal riffs in abundance, plus warped but elegant melodies and clouds of ugly dissonance; moments of unsettling calm and quiet.
