Transience is the debut full-length album from German melodic death/black metal duo Permutation—a bold and atmospheric entry into the extreme metal landscape.

Rooted in black metal but unafraid to evolve, Permutation blend melodic death metal, immersive atmosphere and intricate acoustic passages to craft a sound that is both aggressive and expansive. Transience shifts seamlessly between blistering speed, melodic depth and haunting ambience, creating a dynamic listening journey.

Tracks like “Arrow of Time” and “Lost in Transience” reach near-epic heights with sweeping melodies, while “Apostasy” and “Feed Upon Their Flesh” unleash relentless blast-beat ferocity. “We Shall Serve” brings heavy groove, and the finale “You” transforms from experimental textures into a soaring, ultra-melodic climax.

The lead single “Into the Abyss” perfectly captures the album’s balance of intensity and atmosphere, showcasing everything that defines Permutation’s debut: ambition, emotion and uncompromising extreme metal craftsmanship.

A must-own for fans of modern melodic black and death metal with depth and vision.
