11 As In Adversaries: The Full Intrepid Experience of Light – new album

It’s all very complicated so I’ll just copy-paste the whole thing: “ 11 AS IN ADVERSARIES are here to flip the script and destroy the norm. Existing in a stratosphere where rules no longer apply, 11 AS IN ADVERSARIES features the mastermind of extreme-metal rule-breakers GLORIOR BELLI and fittingly combines dark, moody post-punk with the most avant-garde ends of extreme metal. Utterly twisted yet surprisingly melodic, contorting and slithering like a snake, the band's ‘The Full Intrepid Experience of Light’ seeks its own truth, its own light in the darkness, vast and epic yet brave and unselfconscious.” Press release further on suggests we should “absorb the album and be forever altered”. If so inclined, click here (official MySpace) and live with the consequences, heh. 11 AS IN ADVERSARIES' debut album was released yesterday, November 15th, 2010 (15. 11. 2010) through ATMF (Aeternitas Tenebrarum Music Foundation).

11 AS IN ADVERSARIES is a metal/rock/psyche project that aims to offer an alternative outlet for occasionally limited artists. The band was formed in early 2010 by J. (guitar/bass/vocals) and G. (drums). With some help from Niklas Kvarforth (from Sweden's SHINING), the ADVERSARIES  messed around with extreme metal and indie tunes in order to mix-together “a massively demented debut album” – their words not mine. And there is more; the meaning of their name “lies within a numerological context where 11 stands for what is beyond 10”. Heh. Explanation: “Numbers 1 to 10 are representative of the law & order and cosmic completion. 11 is a manifestation of freedom and rebellion for its magic can bring one to defy the limitations imposed by the Demiurge.” (“Demiurge” probably being the originator of evil or perhaps represents the public official, heh.) And since there are eleven letters in the word “adversaries”, we get to call the band “11 AS IN ADVERSARIES”.
