'Timewave Zero' is the new EP from Denver based death metal act Blood Incantation, comprising two lengthy ambient based songs.
The Guardian piece on the band proclaimed:
"Having broken through with an extremely heavy record, they acknowledged the risk of following it with an ambient record release – but reframed it instead as an opportunity. “To do it off the back of our most successful album to date made us more emboldened,” says the band. “The music is slower and more meditative this time, but there are kernels of darkness and intensity in this ambient music, just as there’s calm and soothing meditativeness in our metal.”
Paring back the extreme dynamics of death metal to work solely within the confines of ambience was another challenge. “The subtlety is the hardest part but we appreciate that slow development, rather than the quickfire Spotify playlist-type culture.” Bassist Jeff Barrett adds that they wanted to make Timewave Zero “as visual as possible”, and cites 2001: A Space Odyssey as one of their inspirations.
