India's Tetragrammacide continue to be an enigma within extreme metal. The band's members are cloaked in mystery, surrounded by like-minded bands that form the elusive Kolkata Inner Order (whom I have tried to interview in previous years to no avail).


Tetragrammacide's newest EP Cyber-Tantric Paradigm of Radical Sri-Vidya was released in September with help from Iron Bonehead Productions, featuring exquisite artwork and their own immersive black/death metal sound.


The aura that surrounds Tetragrammacide can seem overwhelming at times. Just as overwhelming as the nomenclature of their songs, as EP opener ‘Multi-Armed Bellicosity Of Babalon-Durga Riding On The Xeno-Beast Of Grand Apocalypse To Trigger The Outbreak Of A Pan-Dimensional Holy Pogrom’ illustrates. Despite my relatively limited experience of listening to the Kolkata Inner Order, there’s always been something very haunting and otherworldly about the music, and the spoken-word sample that begins the song proves that. What it gives way to is amongst the noisiest and most extreme music you’ll hear. Collectively, Tetragrammacide present ferocious (almost industrial) percussion, ungodly bass/guitar delivery and truly intense vocals. 


I’d like to be able to turn the volume up to a much higher level in order to truly appreciate the EP but alas I cannot. Those living around me will not appreciate it. ‘Techno-Tehomic Invocation Of Malignant Shadow Shakti On The World.Wide.Web Of Internet’ shows exactly why as it descends into a cacophony of blasting drums and mesmerizing extremity. How Tetragrammacide can keep up this pace for so long is beyond my comprehension.


The EP’s final song ‘Astro-Theological Gomaya Initiation With The Sacred Excretion Of Hawking Radiation Emitting From The Universe's Anus’ instantly continues the aural assault. There’s no attempt to slow or calm things down and there shouldn’t be a reason to either. Yes, this is very much aimed at the most ardent of extreme music freaks but that’s why it’s so engrossing to listen to. Virtuoso technicality and hook-laden song-writing is one thing, but genuine musical ferocity is something else.


This EP is like nothing else you’ll hear this calendar year. Tetragrammacide continue to blaze a sinister trail across the musical underground. Only those who dare to follow that trail will be rewarded.
