Review:
Dwell's
debut album – For Dark Helm – is a disturbing and chilling tale
where the world is on the edge of destruction and you can feel that
depressing atmosphere through out the album.
The
album has been mastered and recorded by Noah Landis from Post-Metal
Legends – Neurosis. So it's sounds epic on a grand scale as Dwell
venture even further into the darkness as the album has quite a
depressing feel around it. And that is a good thing as the 4 epic
tunes the band have on offer here will make you think in what you're
listening to.
To
Scry on Lamentations – proves that Dwell have a lot to say with
their dark twisted post-metal riffs matched against the superb doomy
vibes echoing some creepy soundbytes. The vocals verge on the
psychotic side as it's a chilling track that definitely has shades of
mid 90's Neurosis to it.
Dwell
have a fair share of brutal riffs to scare you with as there is no
where to turn. Your soul becomes part of Dwell's dark and violent
world where there is no escape from. There are no ambient based
post-rock vibes to bring shades hope in this dark realm. The album is
dark through out and it's a much better experience for it. So by the
time 2nd
track – Far Dark Helm Pt 1 – plays you're already beyond help.
Dwell play a barrage of different noises and moods that puts the
listener through a harrowing experience.
They
deserve credit for being miserable as hell. It gives the album a more
destructive and thought provoking feel to it. The last two tracks –
Far Dark Helm Pt 2 and For Dark Helm Pt 3 – carries on the sonic
assault with determined accuracy. It's one powerful ride you will not
want to end.
The
album is a brilliantly executed affair from start to finish with an
excellent uncompromising story to tell. You can buy this album on
BandCamp Buy Now Download. Or you can buy the vinyl as well.
If
it's good enough for Noah Landis then it's good enough for you.
Awesome as hell. End Of.
