As the play button is pressed, the listener starts their journey with the opening track, Blinds Drawn. Opens to a dense (feedback) distortion, and follows close behind with a melodic and dreamscape atmosphere – which continues throughout the remaining six tracks…
Slow Wave Violence’s music unfolds in this ethereal instrumental atmosphere that mixes avast textural soundscape of post-metal that floats effortlessly over adjacent genres, creating a unique and intriguing soundscape of mournful melancholy and high-energy music.
Slow Wave Violence creates this relaxing and smooth release that welcomes a transfixing atmosphere that isn’t just instrumental music but something unique and magical; these are moments where the music combines/merges elements such as heavy and soft moments, various tones, and mood/volume within the guitar (dark harmonies, calm, robust metallic riffs).
Heavy-post-rock drum work, dynamic rhythms alternate with atmospheric passages, pianissimo to fortissimo sections, and female spoken words (captures the theme of the story)
Each song gives the feeling of being moody, anxious, depressive, or joyful because of an incredible story in the music. This is topped with seven equally solid, strongly composed, picturesque songs, top-notch production in sound (crisp and solid), overwhelming and awe-inspiring/beautiful devilmanship, and a genuinely powerful, transfixing, and entertaining release.
The album comes to an end with the last song, Broken Silver Cord. We want to give a shoutout to Dimwind for letting us review their Slow Wave Violence album. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
