SUBLUNAR

— First review of this album —

1. Bear With Me for RIVERSIDE's bass, Floydian guitar, and VOTUM's heaviness; a beautiful soaring buildup with the rippling riff and the vocals a little too withdrawn; a beautiful opening that requires confirmation because the final buildup is simply stunning, between post guitars, vibrant bass, and drums hammering in a stroboscopic way. 2. Unmanned for this reverberating sound on the shortest track; a sound between heavy prog and post rock with the energy of despair from Michał and Marcin's sheared guitars; latency of the break with dripping ambient, flirting with COMA ROSSI, ANATHEMA. A dose of dark synths while the keyboards are not credited, in overboosted dark wave, in short, a slap. 3. Falling Upwards at the beginning djent guitar, sheared sound; the monolithic vocal brings closer to the dark wave current, I insist on melancholic heavy synth prog; The build-up begins and Łukasz shifts into second gear. A calm, serene break follows this catchy crescendo; the finale is louder, incisive, and de-scaling, at least for the speakers.

4. Reasonate with this superb metronomic, martial intro, piercing the ears, Łukasz's expressive pad accompanied by Jacek's bewitching bass seeming to cry out its notes; COMA ROSSI again muted for the heady yet melodic sound; a track that takes its time without falling into melodic tones, an easy filler for some bands of this style; a riff accompanied by heavy bass makes the ears prick up, who's taking care of the reverberating synths? The sound becomes fatter, the vocals more expressive, and the heaviness brings them well into the heavy prog metal space, the one that scares the early prog crowd, which is a shame because the post-heavy rock build-up reminds me of Simon from the CURE's bass, enjoyable. 5. Attract / Deter in repetitive mode with the build-up and reverb, metallic post-rock at its peak without becoming too heavy. The spatial, invasive keyboards; the latency of the sounds, the brilliance of the notes, the zest of the SIMPLE MINDS guitar, easy listening for contemplative listening with the suave energy; the strong, gripping finale, full of cold, soaring, sidereal emotion just before the acoustic outro. 6. A Sun Blur in the finale completing and accentuating the oppressive atmosphere; in melting pot with a longer crescendo to live even more this moment of length that we can find in the post, in electronic music, in everything that is progressive precisely, like the purely enjoyable finales of Anathema, seemingly endless. To listen to more than to try to chronicle. (4.25)
