| The debut full-length by a new band that will soon be spoken of far and wide: Denmarkīs Reverie and their "Bliss" debut. The bandīs odd choice of the moniker Reverie speaks volumes about their singular, idiosyncratic songcraft, and the title "Bliss" even more so. Far from "tech" Death Metal and yet also realms removed from the "epic" Metal cliche, the 9 songs across "Bliss" burst into being and then billow into myriad, mesmerizing shapes. The rush in which Reverie play is exciting, urgent and fiery beyond compare. But despite their membersī collectively young years, Reverie have already absorbed an ageless wisdom in their songwriting, layering nuance upon nuance, detail upon detail, whilst ever mindful of a sharp, scintillating hook. Itīs a sound that stacks up well alongside other young mavericks like Morbus Chron and especially Tribulation, but Reverie well and truly have nailed down their own sound with "Bliss". The bandwagon begins now and "Bliss" is the first ride into the unknown. |
