RAZUMIKHIN - Signs With Wormholedeath, Re-Releases Self Made Monster

Razumikhin, the captivating French symphonic post-black metal project inspired by the character from Dostoevsky's iconic novel Crime and Punishment, has signed with Wormholedeath for the reissue of its latest album Self Made Monster (released in December 2022). The album will be re-released on 1 September, marking a significant milestone in the band's career.

The one-man band project driven by a singular artistic vision has quickly gained recognition for its unique blend of atmospheric melodies, orchestral arrangements, and raw black metal energy. Drawing influences from bands such as Solefald, Enslaved, White Ward, Nachtmystium, Lifelover, and Ellende, Razumikhin's music transcends boundaries and creates an immersive listening experience.

Self Made Monster is a mesmerizing showcase of Razumikhin's atmospheric and melodic sound, combining symphonic elements, choirs, and orchestral arrangements with the aggressive and raw nature of black metal. The compositions feature intricate and layered melodies, evoking intense emotions and a profound sense of depth. The album skillfully balances beauty and aggression, crafting a sonic journey that captivates the listener from start to finish.

In addition to the traditional black metal sound, the music incorporates elements of post-rock, progressive metal, and atmospheric music. This fusion results in extended song structures, dynamic shifts, and a focus on creating immersive soundscapes that take the listener on a journey.

With its unique blend of intense aggression, symphonic grandeur, and atmospheric beauty, Self Made Monster stands as a testament to Razumikhin's exceptional musical prowess. The album is a must-listen for fans of both black metal and symphonic metal genres.

Self Made Monster line-up features guest harsh vocals by Hélio, drumkit sound engineering by Benjamin Canalis, and clean vocals, instruments, and drum programming by Jan Hoskovec.
