Asristir Vieldriox

Asristir Vieldriox (sometimes spelt Asristirveildrioxe) is an EP released by the avantgarde band Orthrelm. It was released by Troubleman Unlimited Records in February 2002.[1] Despite having 99 tracks on it (the maximum any CD can hold), each one is only 5 to 15 seconds in length, therefore making the entire release only 13 minutes long in total. Due to this it cannot be classed as an album but an EP instead.

AllMusic[1]

In a review for AllMusic, William York wrote: "this is constantly jarring, nerve-rattling stuff. In fact, due to the extreme compositional density and compression of this music, one is tempted afterwards to throw on some Anton Webern or early Napalm Death -- two infamous champions of brevity -- just to decompress a little bit." He recommended the album for "curiosity seekers and for die-hard fans interested in examining the duo's music at its most microscopic level."[1]

Alec Hanley Bemis of LA Weekly stated: "You get 99 songs in 12 minutes. This prolific drum/guitar duo exists at the nexus of prog-rock, free jazz and extreme metal. Mick Barr's guitar tangles are so dense, he makes the Locust's Bobby Bray sound like James Taylor."[4]

A writer for Indy Week described the album as "acid spittle; fleeting metal riffs slapped against a clatter of drums, rolling into big, brittle space."[5]
