Multiverse - Widek

So, got-djent.com offers a lot of free downloads which I browse through very frequently just to see what new releases there are. The great thing is, it's all djent, so you're pretty much guaranteed it's going to be quite awesome if you're into that sort of thing. Multiverse is one of the albums that I recently downloaded and was quite impressed with, so I'm going to talk about it. That was phrased really awkwardly... ANYWAY, without further ado, let's begin.

The first track, "Injection" is really short with this heavy riff that really sets the mood for the rest of the album to come. It also is followed by some screams which was, unexpected, but original. "Multiverse", the next track, follows in a similar fashion. Heavy intro riff with lots of syncopated rhythms that are typical of djent. Once that kind of gets rooted, an ambient melody jumps in which is unexpected, but well paired with the original riff. "Ghost ressurection", the penultimate track, is probably my favorite one. It has this amazing heavy introduction followed by ambient melody which is, in turn, followed by another riff. Almost like a trade off between rhythm central music and melody central music. "Enter through the Sun", the final track, is extremely different from the rest in structure. While the others immediately begin with this "hit hard" feel with the heavy riffs and then transitions into ambient melodies, this one is almost the reverse. The melody is brought out in the beginning and the building up of a song is done. Almost like a layer cake. The melody remains almost completely unchanged throughout the song, like bell tones, while the guiltar, bass, and drums come and go.

This was an extremely enjoyable listen. You should all go check it out here. http://widekmusic.bandcamp.com/track/multiverse
