It is the culmination of a long creative process with no other pretension than to take you into the story you want to tell yourself. The group only takes care of offering you a sound setting, an auditory context in which to immerse yourself, develop your imagination and take your emotions on a journey. A setting that smells the sea, the storm and the fresh wind, which accentuates this irrepressible desire to look into the depths of this blue and dark abyss, which forces you to question what lives there, hides there and which could harm you, which increases this anguish of an existence that is far too empty and meaningless in opposition to this immensity sometimes so peaceful and sometimes so violent that it could simply take your life.” Inspired by nautical themes and the abyssal, the Swiss collective plays a mixture of post-rock and post-metal elements in the vein of Mogwai and Neurosis and throughout six tracks “In Waves” showcases the band’s penchant for layering dark, heavy tones with graceful and ethereal melodies, resulting in an unpredictable journey that’s equal parts gloomy and beautiful emotive. if you missed it, watch a music video for leading single “Spermwhale” here: https://youtu.be/oc3BYJQRtj0?si=m574blHBXzEicC-o Pre-order “In Waves” from this location: https://fallofleviathan.bandcamp.com/album/in-waves |
