Dimensional Bleedthrough is the second album by the New York-based experimental black metal band Krallice. The album was first officially mentioned by Profound Lore Records in a mailing list dated August 31, 2009, and via Twitter.[6] This was followed by a premiere on Stereogum with one track available for preview.[7] A double vinyl release was announced on October 14, 2009, to be released by on February 19, 2010, though it was delayed until late May.[8] The album's title song topped NPR's Viking's Choice: Metal And Outer Sound In '09 list.[9]

Track listing[]

Instead of traditional writing credits, songs are listed as being "initiated" by band members, indicating that the song was brought to completion by the band collectively. Unlike the others, track 4 was written and arranged by McMaster. Lyric credits are not included in the booklet, except to note that track 4 features text taken from a fragment by Michelangelo.
