Description/Reviews
Okay, I’m gonna be entirely honest: I rarely, if ever, listen to music that sounds like Lithium Dawn’s upcoming release, Tearing Back The Veil 1: Ascension. I’ve heard it’s some variety of progressive metal, which makes sense, and that it’s sonically similar to genre giants Karnivool, but honestly, you could tell me this is entirely original and I would believe you. It doesn’t matter too much, though, because Ascension is great, no matter what your taste in music is. Mixing a strong heavy/light dynamic with some great riffing and a good sense of songwriting, these guys alternate between meaty, in-your-face guitar riffs and spacey sections that reverberate with an ethereal sense of wonder.
