Review
An
Evening With Knives new album – A Sense Of Gravity – is powerful,
dynamic and sees the band embrace their Psych, Doom, Sludge, &
Stoner Metal roots. The overall sound of the album isn’t wholly
original but there is a lot of different variety contained on the
album. The band offer a bleak and distorted vision with elements of
Post-Metal ferocity being shown within the lyrics and vocals.
The
band like to ad different sounds to their music and the electronic
beats fit superbly well into the bigger picture of the album that An
Evening With Knives effortlessly create.
An
Evening With Knives live up to their potential on the opening song –
Sacrifice. A bombastic mix of Sludge, Doom, Psych and Stoner metal
that will appeal to fans of Baroness, Mastodon and Neurosis with it’s
dark cinematic grooves leading the way.
The
band keep up the Post-Metal/Doom/Prog-Metal theatrics on the
remaining songs held on the album with strong vocals and lyrics
adding an extra layer of class and heaviness to proceedings.
The
other good thing about this album is how An Evening With Knives stay
heavy throughout the album and keep atmosphere flowing with rich
heavy grooves that lave little to the imagination especially in the
LOUD and HEAVY VOLUME Department.
Standout
songs on the album are: Sacrifice, Escape, Levitate, On Your Own and
Endless Night.
Sense
Of Gravity has a raw and very real sounding production to it. Maybe
not as polished as some of their contemporaries currently within the
scene. However, there remains something very real to this album that
makes everything sound soulful especially on the superb instrumental
work that the album holds and represents.
Overall,
Sense of Gravity is an album that offers a well thought-out and
progressive journey with a high amount of great sounding riffs that
could see An Evening With Knives making waves within the
Sludge/Doom/Stoner Metal community.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended
