YMMV / Jute Gyte

• Archive Panic: Any artist that manages to release thirty-two full-length albums in fifteen years is bound to induce this reaction... particularly when a large chunk of his discography is based on a scale seldom heard in Western music.
• Creepy Awesome: Jute Gyte's music is both terrifying and fascinating.
• Epic Riff: Kalmbach's better known for overwhelming walls of atonal noise, but he can lay down some sick ass riffs when he feels like it. "At the Limit of Fertile Land" showcases a good example, with an almost thrashy riff playing over an industrial beat. "The Grey King" has another great example right from its intro, managing to make a 24-note scale almost catchy (while also imbuing it with a sense of tragedy).
• Friendly Fandoms: With Liturgy, believe it or not, due to both bands' avant-garde, highly academic approach to black metal composition. One might plausibly describe Jute Gyte as being the evil version of Liturgy. They also have this with Deathspell Omega for the same reason (and their similar philosophical outlooks don't hurt either).
• Nightmare Fuel: Jute Gyte's metal output is quite frightening even for Black Metal, particularly since Discontinuities; Kalmbach's use of a microtonal scale takes the dissonance commonly associated with the genre to new extremes. Even his earlier metal output is still quite nightmarish; in fact, a listener who put on a playlist of his metal albums in chronological order might have to pay close attention to notice when he started using the twenty-four-note scale. As for his early work, Old Ways' extremely abrasive production makes it nightmarish in a different way.
