Gigan - Undulating Waves of Rain Biotic Iridescence Review
Hey there techfiends, it's that time of the week again. It seems a lot of you enjoyed terminal week's The Ritual Aura song premiere, so I'm happy to mention there are more sick premieres coming in this space throughout September and also some in Oct. Before nosotros dive into today'due south focus, here's the usual weekly reminder that if you're looking for more than cool music, all prior editions of this serial tin can be perused here.
Since their inception over a decade ago, Gigan has delivered 1 of the most memorable and creative discographies of any mod tech-death band. Across three previous full-lengths and their debut EP, the grouping has created a unique and singular style of technical death metallic that's completely alien and baroque in the best way possible, and 1 which runs circles around damn near 99% of what's out there. Given that, their upcoming fourth anthology, Undulating Waves of Rainbiotic Iridescence was on a very short list of my nigh predictable releases for all of 2017. While I'm not surprised at how good the album is, I am happy that the band continues to find ways to push their sound forward this far into their career.
Some of you may think that I helped launch the second early on single here in this very space for "Clockwork With Thunderous Hooves", which has concluded up being i of my favorite songs on the album over time. And time is precisely what'south needed when dissecting music this layered and multifaceted, this utterly maddening and terrifying, and with a density to it that rivals the explosive capacity of a nuclear bomb. For those new to the ring, I often describe them every bit Gorguts meets Hate Eternal on acid (with mathcore chaotic tendencies and focus on tapping heavy guitar work) in space.
Undulating Waves Of Rainbiotic Iridescence begins with a lengthy multi-part ten-minute world destroyer of a jam entitled "Wade Forward Through Affair and Backwards Through Fourth dimension, and and so later, ends on some other lengthy sprawling ten minute long track, "In Betwixt, Through Form and Void". Massive openers and closers take been a Gigan staple for some time, but I have to requite the band credit for blurring the lines ever further between their default often separate song modes of hyper-fast and stewing in atmosphere and eerie dissonance at a slower stride from separate entities usually, into a blur of the ii when it comes to the scope and flow of the ii mammoth tracks that start and end the album. In between them, you're treated to a bevy of shorter only no less listen-melting tracks, including the inimitable dose of alien mania that is track two "Elemental Transmography" which is linked beneath. Followed past another early on single also embedded beneath, "Plume of Ink Within A Vacuum". Following those two, you get into the meat of the album not withal fabricated public, which includes some of my personal favorites on the anthology one later on the other.
And then "Ocular Wavelengths Floral Obstructions" kicks in and once more sees the group veering towards the longer side of things at 8 minutes, built upon a warped Morbid Affections type riff for its opening before devolving into their abstract state of war on conflicting beings and incommunicable sights that are embodied inside the oddball riffs and leads of Eric Hersemann and pushed forrad by the percussive insanity of Nate Cotton wool and the foreboding and unholy emanations of vocalizer Jerry. Following that we're treated to a vocal that embraces the bands love for atmosphere and psychedelics from its onset on the aptly titled song, "Hideous Wailing of the Ronowen During Nightshade. Once again this is some other track that starts off almost doomy and dreary, before exploding towards their faster and zanier selves every bit the track progresses. Building up steam for the astral wars about to be waged. After that concludes, you're treated to my favorite one-two punch on the album prior to the closer, the god-tier jams that are "Hyperjump-Ritual Madness" another song that lives up to its inventive title, followed past "Clockwork With Thunderous Hooves" which I premiered in this space in July. It'due south difficult to selection favorites when the material is this good, only I volition say, "Hyperjump-Ritual Madness" as of correct now, is my favorite song on the album.
Undulating Waves Of Rainbiotic Iridescence is an incredible technical decease metal album. equal parts extreme appetite, furious and circuitous hyper-active blast and shred passages, atmospheric focused moments across the album, extreme doses of unearthly dissonance, plus their signature psychedelic element woven in as always, making for truly epic stuff every bit a whole that feels like its own world and musical language. If you consider yourself a death metal connoisseur than this album is a 10-class meal one must seek out, though a off-white alarm should exist given that experiencing its depths will crusade involuntary orgasms to arise while it leads you to your death amidst the psychedelic nightmares one can only envision to exist in other universes and realms.
For a last summation, one of the most brilliant and unique bands in the tech death sphere has done it again. When I say they are 1 of my favorite technical death metallic bands, a large part of what that ways is they're one of a handful of bands whose every release is played by me endlessly, fifty-fifty years after their initial release. I have no uncertainty I'll exist jamming Undulating Waves Of Rainbiotic Iridescence for years to come, especially since I have yet to cease jamming the three prior full-lengths and initial EP at all. I would have waited to post a review for Undulating Waves until it was out, just I have sectional premieres set for the remaining weeks in September and so I wanted to post it now ahead of information technology's official release adjacent Friday, September 15th through Willowtip Records.
Luckily, there are three singles you can hear early on, the one up on Youtube is embedded beneath. The other 2 are private bandcamp link embedded songs at various locations so yous'll have to click here for "Clockwork With Thunderous Hooves" and here for "Elemental Transmography". If y'all dig what you're hearing, Undulating Waves Of Rainbiotic Iridescence can exist pre-ordered here. Exist certain to follow Gigan over on their Facebook page also.
