Dodecahedron is an avant-garde black metal band hailing from the Netherlands, known for their complex compositions and haunting, atmospheric sound. The band was formed in the early 2010s, creating a unique blend of dissonant harmonies, ferocious blast beats, and a dark, philosophical undertone that delves into themes of existentialism and the human condition. Their music is characterized by a fusion of technical proficiency and a willingness to push the boundaries of the black metal genre, incorporating elements of ambient noise and modern classical influences.

The band's discography mirrors a journey through the intricacies of human psyche and the darker recesses of the mind. Dodecahedron's eponymous debut album was released in 2012, showcasing their talent for crafting an expansive and immersive sonic landscape. Following albums like "kwintessens" in 2017, which dealt with concepts of creation and destruction from a philosophical standpoint, further established their prominence within the extreme metal scene. With subsequent releases like "Tetrahedron: The Culling of the Unwanted from the Earth," "Hexahedron: Tilling the Human Soil," and "Dodecahedron: An Ill-Defined Air of Otherness," the group continued to explore and map the metaphysical dimensions of their dark art, solidifying their reputation as innovators and provocateurs in a genre that thrives on the periphery of the musical mainstream.
