Released in January 18th, "Inertia" is a strange beast, a mix of hyper sophisticated musical composition, cleverly crafted and versed in deep sadness or maturated with a spontaneous savage burst of juvenile angst.
Those guys from this new band from UK holds a real interesting method in their art of blasting our ears, very progressive in the intricate behavior, sometimes crawling in a deep ambient thick layer and finally uplifting their sound with ultra-aggressive guitar layers to an unexpected climax, a little bit at a time, until the ultimate tornado that will irremediably blows everything, truly Progressive in fact.
The opening track alone "Nemacyst" is worth the buying of the entire album , insanely passionate with ultra-syncopated patterns, that leads to an odd groove, technical to the max, I heard many Hevy Devy's references and an obvious focus in: damaging your brain in a red hot down tuned aggression and a well hidden, lush melodic hook.
The vocals lines are very detached in a duality of style: depressive wrath versus demented fury, a bipolar two oldness that reveal a true cyclothymic disorder almost Schizophrenic in places.
The remaining songs are more than interesting but it's more demanding and less rewarding as sometimes the recipe is pushed a little too far in my opinion, you can experience a feeling of "behind left on the side of the road", a little too obscure or hermetical... The whole is happily diluted and strongly updated by sudden explosion of shredding, and a few lead guitars in high velocity mode plus some episodic but entertaining epileptic screams and staccato vocals formula.
The seventh track is another pearl, indeed "A Life Worth Taking " is taking the album again to the early running order style, another remarkable peak with once more a delicate balance between violence and technicity with an absolute triumphal finish.
"Inertia" is a tidal wave of mind aggression, a very attractive debut and another album that needs to be studied carefully with as much time as BENEATH DEAD WAVES had spent countless hour in its creation.
