Mitochondrion is a formidable entity within the extreme metal scene, hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The band was formed in 2003 and quickly became renowned for their intense, dark, and complex brand of death/black metal. Their music is characterized by its intricate composition, brutal soundscapes, and themes steeped in occultism and philosophical depth. Mitochondrion's work often delves into the esoteric and the abstract, challenging listeners with its aural assault and punishing technicality.

The band's most recent release, "In Cronian Hour," continues their tradition of pushing the boundaries of extreme metal. Prior to this, the EP "Antinumerology" in 2013 further cemented their reputation as innovators, building upon the critical acclaim they garnered from their earlier full-length albums, "Parasignosis" in 2011 and "Archaeaeon" in 2008. These records stand as milestones in the band's career, marking their evolution and unrelenting pursuit of musical extremity. Mitochondrion's discography is a testament to their dedication to their craft and their position at the vanguard of experimental and savage metal sounds.
