Geryon

Bass and drum duos are apparently a thing these days in some metal circles, and Geryon, consisting of the rhythm section of New York eclectic black metal weirdos Krallice, are one of the few such bands to try their hand at death metal. Listening to their debut 2013 self-titled effort presents a challenge. It's not that guitars are necessarily needed or missing here, but there does seem to be a little bit of "look what we can do with only two instruments", and the result is a bit of a cacophonous din, even though both guys are clearly adept musicians. The songs twist and turn but are a bit hard to follow, but then again radio airplay clearly wasn't the intent here. The pair produced a followup in 2016 with The Wound And The Bow.
