DAXMA - THE NOWHERE OF SHANGRI-LA

by Daxma

supported by

Giles Great balance of atmospheric grooves, hypnotic heaviness, and a bit of psychedelic strangeness. The vocal style(s) are also perfectly matched with the music.

justanoldgod Just when I think there are no new places to tread in the genre, I find gems like this one. Movements that carry you on syncopated waves, rising and falling and crashing back onto themselves, only to explode back outwards. Something like eternal return, never diminishing, but trying each time to find another way, trying to make room for new growth. Each movement like the creation of a new, bolder world/universe/dimension to explore in wonder.

Metallurgical Fire Eons Apart is exceptional in every way, but as someone who always looks for strong vocals and drums, I am completely mesmerized by it.

DAXMA - Eons Apart 31:52

about

“Eons Apart” is a song about desperation in a world strangled by the ghosts of its past, a world in its twilight which must necessarily perish but can’t yet figure out how to make itself disappear.

The etymology of utopia-“nowhere”- is widely known, but in this conceptualization an invalidation of its want is falsely imposed. The very notion becomes reduced to a childish, idealist fantasy choked out by the litmus test of the “real world”.

Yet, it is this pre-formed notion of its impossibility which must be done away with. Hope persists in the deepest recesses of our social scars. A spectre still looms. In contradiction we may find new forms-of-life.

Just as “Eons Apart” expresses frustration at waiting, it is at once also meant as a validation of utopian desire. The tools and material force to dismantle and create are already with us; we need only to find in one another our collective courage and strength.

as a black metal fan that also is listening to noise industrial I have to suggest you guys to follow the industrial path. this is much better than the rest. reminds me of somatic responses with a touch of converter. 𝕺𝖛 𝕾𝖔𝖗𝖗𝖔𝖜
