Wending Tide - The Painter (2017) EN

What's better than aggressive metal with the vocalist screaming as if he wanted to spit out the whole hell when you can hardly find in yourself any motivation to treat the reality politely? Not much. The album by Wending Tide from New Zealand is just perfect for those situations. It's not and doesn't want to be anything more than emotions translated into music.

But it's not entirely without surprises. As for example after full of intensive emotions track number one comes a break filled with beautiful piano keys. And the real masterpiece is the very beginning of the following track, "Cascading Auburn I", that starts with... the vocalist breathing in, getting ready for the mayhem continuation. And then it is guitars and noise until the end with such an aggression that can almost be cut with a knife.

the only problem here is that this music has to be very loud. Really, really loud. But since when is it a problem anyway?

"The Painter" is available for 5 NZD.
