Breathe it’s air and feel it’s wind rippling your clothes. Walk on it’s endless mountains and explore it’s vast oceans. This is music of an otherworldly decent, expressed through human senses.
What is it that makes
music standout? There are a number of different factors, all of them
contributing to one single major result. The connection between the listener
and the music. Every album can be seen as a journey. This contribution from
artists, vary in depth and aesthetics. But there is this single organism,
called “Shards Of Silver Fade” that has the potential to become one of
the most unique and adventurous albums to date. But this can only be revealed
in time.
I, the listener,
don’t have the ability to predict Midnight
Odyssey’s future, nor the future of this album. I can only speak for myself
as I experience this album. This is more than music. It is the narration coming
from another universe. Dis Pater has his own tongue and he is crafting music
using the senses of existence.
You see, there are
books that I have read countless times and with every read I witnessed
something new emerging. This new, that comes every time I expose myself to this
creation, has nothing to do with a riff or an overly complicated orchestration.
It has to do with the exploration of the soundscapes. The life that appears in
me while the songs develop. With a steady rhythm that has its own pace, I witness
the endless sea created by the electric ambience and I see, like an explorer in oceans unknown, the riffs rising like waves from the sea and then falling back
in, returning to that, which is the source of all creation. The ambience of
consciousness. And unto that plane, this three dimensional universe has a life.
It has a history and it has a future.
I have felt it. I
became that, but only for a brief amount of time. It is a mystical process of experiencing
another’s mind. But, will this do justice to it? Probably not. This is just a
review, as is every review. It is not the experience itself but merely an
account of it. Hence, making it the square root of my subjective experience.
Allow yourself to
sink into it. Breathe it’s air and feel it’s wind rippling your clothes. Walk
on it’s endless mountains and explore it’s vast oceans. This is music of an
otherworldly decent, expressed through human senses. But, and I am impressed by
it, this confines of human experience work in favor of the listener, making
this album feel infinite. Cosmic? Nah. Universe Metal is a better description.
And from one universe to another, I communicate this to you. Expose yourself to
“Shards
Of Silver Fade” and you might become it.
