Retrocausal is Cleric's stunning and long, long-awaited follow-up to their groundbreaking 2010 album Regressions. Now with well-earned respect from both the extreme metal underground and Zorn-associated avant garde jazz scene, Cleric more than makes good on their promise. Listen to them rewrite the book on what the combination of the terms "metal" and "avant garde" can (and should) mean. With Retrocausal this tireless Philadeliphia-based unit has burst forth with a true masterpiece in the field of extreme experimental music.

Regressions

Web Of Mimicry

Cleric is a four-piece band from Philadelphia that mixes elements of grindcore, avant-garde composition, doom and something else entirely. Their debut full-length Regressions delivers harsh, focused, and eerily psychedelic experimental compositions that are attention-grabbing from start to finish. Influenced by metal pioneers such as Meshuggah, Converge, Fantomas and Neurosis, the band approaches a level of brutality and experimentation that few others have achieved.  In the six years since their inception, Cleric has released a number of EPs and a 12-inch picture-disc through the UK's Sound Devastation Records, all of which have garnered praise for their unique sound and intricate artwork. Band members have also performed a live score at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, received a nomination for Best Music at the 2008 AVN Awards, and collaborate regularly on film scores.
