Lithopaedion

from "I am the Son and the Tomb of the Sky"

Walls of noise, extended silences, controlled feedback chains, microtonal systems under heavy distortion...

Lithopaedion is a microtonal doom metal band formed in Basel, Switzerland. The project brings together four musicians from the international new music scene to create a genuine synthesis between contemporary composition and experimental metal.

I am the Son and the Tomb of the Sky is an excerpt from the concert-length work of Abel Fazekas I am the Father and Tomb of the Sky, an open-form musical labyrinth exploring the philosophy and poetry of Georges Bataille. The title comes from Bataille's poem "The Archangelical"; the libretto is a cut-up of his writing throughout.
