On Violent Waves

Over the course of an hour, we are ripped to pieces aurally. As the eight tracks only serve to compact the brutality as each sonnet plays through, and by its climax, there is a real need for silence for a little while. It’s an intensely visceral display; each member of the band works in unison to create a landscape that is as bleak as it is troublesome. Using the concepts of a storyline written by founding member Matthew Crotts and his brother Robert, this is so much more than just an album of songs, and as it plays through, it tells the story of existing and surviving in a perpetual winter. It embraces the ideas of living against all odds, working together, and finding an outcome that is more than succumbing to the elements in the futility of the situation. - https://thesleepingshaman.com/reviews/we-follow-the-earth-foamdrinker/
