Leeds (UK) - Following 2024’s critically acclaimed LP Phantazein, COGNIZANCE return with In Light, No Shape May 1 on Willowtip Records!
The official video for the album's first single, "Witness Marks," is available at youtu.be/LOhAHuT2zE8
Four LPs deep and a slew of EPs behind them, COGNIZANCE show no signs of restraining the pace of unrelenting inventive riffs and razor-sharp grooves. In Light, No Shape is a masterful Progressive Death Metal opus, rich in texture and atmospheric detail, delivering everything long-time listeners crave while channeling the mid-90s technical extremity of Death, Extol, and Meshuggah. This time, the band deliberately fractures the conventions of modern extreme production, opting instead for a more organic and visceral mix that sharpens the defining traits of their work.
