Death To Dynamics — Bereavement

[Death To Dynamics — 2024]★★★★★
Reviewed 6 May 2024by Roger Batty

Bereavement is just over a twenty-five-minute 'wall' from this UK project. It’s both crudely rumbling, yet rapidly cascading in its intent. It feels akin to being slowly buried in a landslide full of muddy clumps of turf, coarse boulders, and sandy stinging earthy grit.

This is a self-released digital affair. With the cover artwork featuring a mouth-open/crying-faced figure- this looks like it might be from an old painting. You can find the release here. 

The single track featured here runs at just over the twenty-six-minute mark.  It’s a constantly tumbling- yet largely pattern-consistent 'wall'. This is built around a mixture of persistent bass rumble & cluttering yet sodden battering- all weaved with searing & scraping hiss ‘n’ swirl.   There is a rapid yet airless quality about the ‘wall’, and as I mentioned earlier it sounds very like been stuck inside a landslide.  With it been both busy, yet crude & enclosing too. 

For those who enjoy literally being buried and encased in crude textural rapidity, Bereavement will most certainly appeal.
