Kardashev (Car-duh-shev) is a self described "Deathgaze" group blending themes of Death Metal with Shoegaze. Their mission statement could be described as, "Attempting to create the most beautiful, heavy music through themes of love, loss and altruism in the Metal spectrum." Much of their content is written about science, space and the human condition. In 2022, they return with sophomore full-length, Liminal Rite, which further pushes the boundaries, delivering a release that is as ruthlessly heavy as it is delicate and fragile.
