Biography

In the beginning Agrypnie was originated by Torsten as a solo project and as a refuge for his song ideas long before the well-known avantgarde black metal institution Nocte Obducta parted ways.
After the break up of Nocte Obducta and the Split EP with the German death metal outfit Fated, Agrypnie grew from a solo project to a serious band, which is proved by the first full length album “F51.4”. With its cold atmosphere, the debut has casted a spell over many listeners.
Torsten and his new live musicians stage-managed this extraordinary atmosphere on carefully selected concerts.

At this point the sequel “Exit” was already in the making. Due to the completion of the line-up, “Exit” has a much more “organic” sound compared to the debut “F51.4”, where Thorsten made use of a drum computer.
With “Exit”, Agrypnie continue the legacy where Nocte Obducta left the path of atmospheric, innovative black metal.

Line-up:
Torsten – Vocals, Guitar, Keys, Songwriting and Lyrics
Martin – Live guitar
Dave – Live guitar
Matthias – Bass
René - Drums

    Another great album from an excellent band. It's a shame I didn't know about it on the release date, I simply love the atmosphere Agrypnie produces.

    Number 82/100 clear vinyl edition. Excellent, deep piece of work, this album. Not even going to bother getting into the arguments here.

    First sentence notwithstanding, I'm pretty sure he's arguing for atmospheric music as opposed to technical. I do have a couple of issues with your argument, however: free jazz does not in any way compare to tech death. One genre is based in free improvisation, one is based on rigid, overwritten structures (and despite my description, I do enjoy quite a bit of tech death). Then again, I think all genres have their place. I do agree, though, trying to compare a band like Agrypnie to death metal in general is like comparing apples to oranges.

    Whuuut? You're talking out of your ass Snob. Take a class in music theory before you embarrass yourself with misguided statements like "If it isn't technical, it's one-dimensional." and equating Tech Death with Free Jazz. It would be difficult to be more wrong. In those immortal words: If you do not think too good / do not think too much.

    If it isn't technical, it's one-dimensional. People who like really wanky music, should usually stay away from atmospheric music. Tech Death and other styles like it (Free Jazz) are the music styles for people who love to show off their "speed and skills." Atmospheric bands like to create music that envelops you like a warm coat. Two completely different styles!

    Yeah. It may take awhile to decompress from all that soulless technical posery before you realize your being "bored" by transcendental brilliance. If you indeed have a 'mind's eye' it's myopic.

    you should probably give it a couple more attentive listens before you call it one dimensional imho

    Aetas Cineras is really boring and one dimensional; then again I'm used to listening to technical/brutal/melodic death metal...

    Aetas Cineras: confidant work. They have found themselves. Currently AotY.

    No. 118/1000 of their new albums limited edition, signed by the band. Fuck yeah!

    I think the best tag would be modern black metal but that's something uncommon to use so I'll settle for post-black metal.
