Gigan's "Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus" should be in The Infinite

First Post January 17, 2025 09:36 PM

Gigan's very solid fourth full-length offers a unique take on the dissonant death metal sound with the trio attempting an array of unusual & often quite psychedelic sounds that I feel puts at least a good half of the album into Avant-Garde Metal territory. With that in mind, I'd like to see "Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus" added to The Infinite on top of its existing position in The Horde.

I agree about the unusual spacey psychedelics this album has and will vote YES for this Hall entry, Daniel. But I also hear a lot of progressiveness in the complexity and structure enough to make it qualify as progressive metal. So I'd like to submit an additional entry to have Anomalous Abstractigate Infinitessimus added to The Infinite as progressive metal while staying in The Horde and dissonant death metal.

I don't hear anything particularly progressive or technical personally. The dissonant death metal subgenre comes with an expectation of a certain level of complexity so I see no need for those sort of tags. The avant-garde component is enough of a differentiator to justify an additional tag though.
