Reviews for Epoch of Unlight's The Continuum Hypothesis

2 steps forward - 90%
Written by odradek on July 6th, 2007


After Epoch of Unlight's innovative debut "What Will Be Has Been", the follow-up
"Caught in the Unlight" didn't quite live up to my expectations. But with the
release of "The Continuum Hypothesis" the band has corrected the misstep and
taken yet a further step forward. All 11 tracks feature stunning musicianship,
original soundscapes, and captivating melodies, cycling through countless
unpredictable transitions and layered upon a tireless rhythmic commotion.

EoU's sound is a bit like Gothenburg metal run one time through a meat grinder.
The chaos derives from twin guitar tracks, split full left and right in the mix,
apparently both laid down by Josh Braddock. The interplay between the two is
phenomenal, whether working together to craft vivid harmonies, or trading off
phrases in a mad syncopation. Tino LoSicco's drumming is both energetic and
nuanced, as he seems to draw from an infinite set of drum patterns and riffs.
EoU no longer feature dual vocals trading off as in their first album; BJ Cook
supplies the more conventional single vocal track, abrasive but understandable,
with a relatively high-pitched snarl.

"Argentum Era Secui Duos" is a remake of "Silver Mistress", a memorable
riff-laden track from their debut album. "The End of All" showcases a great
variety of musical devices EoU can deliver capably -- with dual guitars
combining to create effects ranging from bright sustained harmonies to dark
stacatto riffs, plus an extended guitar solo, hyper fast drumming, and a linear
song structure full of unexpected turns.

The album teeters on the brink of chaos at times, but always rescues the
listener by returning to a riff that's catchy and familiar. The Continuum
Hypothesis is an engaging piece of art.

Darkness Prevails - 81%
Written by Erin_Fox on October 29th, 2006


Spitting blackness deserving of the group's moniker, Epoch Of Unlight undertake
an evil trip through astral planes with 'The Continuum Hypothesis.

Severe blasts of hatred bringing forth invocations of unthinkable proportions.
Gravel barks issue dark utterances over chugging, technical, thrashing black
death. 'Highgate' walks the path of Samael, featuring a wicked riff and chaotic
blast drumming.

Epoch imparts a feeling of old style thrashing death while utilizing tightly
compressed rhythms and British axe tones to fashion a sound that will remain
credible with underground devotees, but contains songwriting of a quality that
will be welcomed by any metal fan with a taste for extreme vocals. Start-stop
song parts feed the band's complex arrangements as well.

There is a degree of technicality that is not always focused on speed, however
moving through scales and key changes in extremely complicated patterns.

This album is an abrasive crush of blackness throughout each of its eleven
tracks. Step into the Unlight...
