For
all Redwood Hill fans out there, the new
decade heralds the long-awaited announcement of a brand new album. Entitled
“Ender” the Danish post metal / hardcore ensemble's new album includes
all the band’s trademarks. With a sound
firmly rooted in the post-metal genre, they sound heavily influenced in the
vocal and mood department by black metal. It's a great atmospheric mix, conveying
feelings of despair, isolation and depression but not without leaving the
listener with a glimpse of hope in the midst of the sombre musical and lyrical
landscape.
You
can check out the track “Polar” below taken from the album as well as a
personal message on track from the band.
As the band states, the track is massive, harrowing and beautiful. Judge for yourself
Polar
entirely encompasses what we try to achieve as a band. All the elements are
there: A fragile guitar intro abruptly shattered by a demolishing and brutal
wall of sound leading into the chorus. A droning passage featuring a melodic
and harrowing instrumental composition which transitions into the final chorus
and snarling outro. Polar is the second song written for Ender, with a first rough
draft realized in late 2014, early 2015. It is not the most complicated and
involved track on Ender but It’s very Redwood Hill; Massive, harrowing and
beautiful.
