6 years after I posted about his debut album Nisahilism and fours years after Diluted Self-portrait, the South Korean artist known as Isahi is back with another exciting album. Extromantic follows the path of the neoclassicism-induced heavy post-rock/post-metal music that is as beautiful as it is destructive.
Isahi's music is clearly guitar-oriented but what makes it extremely attractive is the heavy use of synths - this combination situates him somewhere around Heave a Nice Life and the blackgaze community with Unreqvited as a perfect example. Especially that, although the artist's music is mainly instrumental, there are post-metal's withdrawn and distorted screams audible, giving some of the desperate violence to the overall synthy and smooth compositions. The artist uses those and many more means to create diverse and attention-grabbing songs with Anorexia as perfect example: loud and tear-jerking synthy passages, post-metal screaming and sudden changes of pace ornamented with piano-like sounds and samples make it a track that is difficult to be indifferent to. The fact that it is followed by almost exclusively piano-based For Those Who Drown in Me makes it only more stunning. The album goes on and on, it's almost an hour long, but the artist made sure that the audience is not bored even for a second and this is probably the most important thing.
Extromantic costs whatever you want to pay.
