Dimwind, Slow Wave Violence Review: This review will evaluate every aspect of the album, from its intricate musical composition to its production. Our analysis will provide valuable insights to help you determine if this album is worth adding to your collection.
The First Sin, The Strings/Keys: Features cinematic ambiences and metallic wall-of-sound riffs and dark harmonies. 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 heavy drumming strikes/fills and beats with post-rock aesthetics.
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.
For me, from the moment of play, the music draws the listener deep within it. It is also a fresh, exciting, appealing, epic, awe-inspiring opus of such magnitude and a genre-defying approach that captures the band members’ soul and creativity within the music—and the deliverances pay off—not to be missed.
The artwork has meaningful […] — once hearing the music, one will see the connection
