“Die Lederpredigt merges tradleaning BM with opera, and sees classically trained soprano – and occasional IT collaborator – Andromeda Anarchia stretched and contorted far beyond what she was so patiently coached to do. While conceptually crazy, the results are brilliantly coherent, with the shearing riffing complemented by a voice that’s by turns soaringly angelic, cruelly playful and pit-dwelling vile. High art, high drama and heavy metal collide brilliantly, making for a debut that’s both galaxybrain smart and knuckledraggingly immediate.”
ALEX DELLER for METAL HAMMER UK (2020) |
"The mistress of avant-garde Andromeda Anarchia appears in "Out Of Kilter" with a furious vocal performance - the deep growls drive through the bones..."
DEMONIC-NIGHTS (translated, 2020) "Vocalist Andromeda Anarchia is an absolute force, going operatic and then digging right into guttural growls within moments, her German feeling like its gnashing your wounds."
MEAT MEAD METAL (2020) "The vocals are absolutely insane."
MOSHPITNATION (2020) |
„[...] for anyone who considers testing musical boundaries ranging from jazz, through a PJ Harvey indie sound, to extreme metal with a touch of almost everything in between, then yes, this is the most prog album I have listened to for quite some time [...] with DarkMatters, each passage of music, each word, each note, does not feel out of place. What adds to this recording the most, is the honest way it has been presented. If you want to challenge yourself, then I can not recommend this release highly enough.“

ANDROMEDA ANARCHIA
Andromeda Anarchia is a New York based musician from Switzerland: She collaborates with French record label Alter-Nativ, with Music Box Publishing and with American extreme metal record label Gilead Media. Andromeda uses her voice as a versatile instrument and combines different vocal styles in all possible and (almost) impossible ways: classical singing (soprano), clean and distorted contemporary singing as well as extreme / harsh vocals. She is mostly performing avant-garde/progressive/extreme/experimental metal music as well as metal jazz. Lead Vocalist Andromeda Anarchia's DARKMATTERS Progressive Rock/Metal, Label Alter-Nativ (Oct 2018, France) The Debut-EP of DARKMATTERS got nominated for the Independent Music Awards 2019 FOLTERKAMMER Operatic Black Metal, Label Gilead Media (Dec 2020, USA) Debut-Album Die Lederpredigt Collaborations and Guest Performances IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT (Avant-garde Black Metal, USA) KILTER (Metal-Jazz, USA) Laurent David's NAKED (Jazz, France) Motionfix (Experimental Hip Hop, USA) Panos Megarchiotis (Classical Music / Bossa Nova, CH/Greece) Von Pourquery (Alternative Pop, France) "This is of course driven by the completely insane voice of Andromeda Anarchia, perhaps the one person in metal today with better hair than myself. Her seemingly impossible range of both clean vocals and growls is stunning. It darts from operatic frills full of elegant poetry to black metal snarls worthy of Darkthrone alongside even more guttural moments that leave you in awe."
TWO GUYS METAL REVIEWS "A fare, però, la differenza è la voce della cantante, un vero e proprio portento, dotata di un insieme di registri totalmente folli e diversissimi tra loro. Nelle tracce di “Die Lederpredigt”, sentiremo ora Andromeda librarsi nell’aria fino a raggiungere tonalità acute e spettrali, per poi passare al registro lirico, prima di implodere in un ringhiare malvagio degno della più contorta strega maligna. L’effetto è strabiliante, soprattutto grazie alla scelta di melodie vocali totalmente folli, che talvolta si avventurano in un terreno molto vicino alla pura improvvisazione." METALITALIA.COM (2020) "Andromeda Anarchia is establishing herself as an original force in the realm of progressive music, or alternative music, or… actually I’d hate to put this music in a box, because although it integrates many influences from jazz, progressive, rock and even pop, its originality puts it in a genre of its own." GHOSTLY BEARD for MUSIC TALKS "Andromeda Anarchia came into prominence in the extreme metal scene with her guest appearance in Imperial Triumphant's Vile Luxury and then 2020's Alphaville. And while with her project Andromeda Anarchia's DARMATTERS she explores a progressive verging on an experimental rock sound, her other project Folterkammer follows a much more potent and brutal perspective."
