The First Three Sins of Yesterday I Lived
Let’s start by discussing the first three sins of Yesterday I Lived and his self-titled album.
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Features a mixture of fresh (strong) melodic melodies/rhythms and dark chords/solos, with haunting additional organ/keyboard inserts. The Second Sin, The Vocals: Involves omitting the vocals, to create an instrumental environment. The Third Sin—The Percussions: Delves into the vast world of dense rhythmic drum patterns and beats.
The Fourth Sin: Overall Discussion: Music that comes alive on its own due to the beauteous and composition
Immediately after the listener presses that play button, one is welcomed to the opening track, Autumn Graveyard Aesthetics, which welcomes the listener to the clean melodic of the guitar and drum work and atmospheric keys.
Followed suit with the four remaining songs. One comes lost within the music, music that is bleak and an instrumental soundtrack of the mournful end of life. Thus, an album is to be played at the right moment, suggesting a limelight room of a flicking candle burning away while capturing the mesmerizing/transfixing but dark/bleak (yet! Beautifully composed) atmosphere of the music.
While writing this review and listening to the music at the same time, I found myself lost within the music. The impressive devilmanship of the guitar work is the main focal point and the vocalist of the piece and the primary foundation. While the atmospheric keys and drum work acts as the backing vocals/choruses and the backbone of the music.
Simultaneously, the album comes alive on its own due to the beauteous and composed arrangements of instrumentation, the characteristic of each piece, which provides various moods, slight head-nodding moments, various tone and tempo moments, multifaceted sounds FX such as dismal rain, nature — which adds that extra dark and sorrow feel of the music — which also adds elements/characteristic of funeral doom, atmospheric doom/post-metal, even some tints of depressive/suicidal black metal – giving an impression of once feeling of being “alive yesterday and one foot in the grave/mournful of being dead.”
The album comes to an end with the last song, Bleed with My Universe. We want to give a shoutout to Yesterday I Lived for letting us review his self-titled album. Now, we’re going to wrap it up by talking about the final three sins and concluding the review.
