Liturgy is an American black metal band from Brooklyn, New York. The band features Hunter Hunt-Hendrix (vocals, guitar), Bernard Gann (guitar), Greg Fox (drums) and Tyler Dusenbury (bass). The band describes its style as "transcendental black metal,"[3][4] which is described in a declaration written by Hunt-Hendrix.[5] Hunt-Hendrix cites Swans, Glenn Branca, and Lightning Bolt as influences.[6]

History
Originally the solo project of Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, the band expanded to a four piece in 2008, after the release of the 12" Immortal Life, which was followed in 2009 with their debut album Renihilation.[1] The group's second album, Aesthethica, was released in May 2011 by Thrill Jockey, and was ranked as number 26 on Spin's 50 Best Albums of 2011.[7]
In a 2012 interview with Pitchfork Media, Hunter Hunt-Hendrix expressed his desire to move away from black metal on future releases in order to avoid "self-imitation," noting that Aesthethica's recognition "turns it into safe territory." He suggests that the next release could include bells or a focus on electronics.[8]
In June 2014, drummer Greg Fox and bassist Tyler Dusenbury rejoined the band to record the third studio album The Ark Work, which was released in 2015.[9]:{{{3}}}[10]:{{{3}}}
