Prostitution

Prostitution (meretrix meretricis) is a Brooklyn, NY based progressive black metal band composed of bassist Jesse Adelson, drummer Jason Spence, and guitarist Russ Cowen. All three members sing, with Adelson the lead vocalist. Streams of rhythm and picking release a propulsion in their music that pushes their sound relentlessly. Melody, the acoustic germ of each song, blossoms through traditional black metal vocals and torrents of non-linear sound. Organized chaos rolls off the stage. The exhilaration of playing is contagious. Their love of music is obvious.
