Aesthethica is the second studio album by Brooklyn-based black metal band Liturgy.
Produced by Krallice guitarist Colin Marston, the album was released on May 10, 2011 via Thrill Jockey.
[3] In a review for AllMusic, critic reviewer Thom Jurek wrote: "Aesthethica consists of intricate, sophisticated songs, full of majesty, nearly insane drive, intention, and the frighteningly unleashed power of emotion.
It may come to define or utterly transcend metal, but it doesn't matter because this album is in its own class.
"[5] At The Guardian, Jamie Thomson explained: "While their second album ticks off plenty of genre tropes – bloodcurdling screamed vocals, kinetic drum blasts, and the kind of left-field musical excursions that are now de rigueur for any reasonably experimental BM band – it is difficult to escape the impression of Liturgy as chin-stroking dilettantes.
