To Forget Yesterday In Dying Days |
|
Their three-song debut for Re-Define Records may in fact re-define the way we think about Hard-Core music. Consistent with the latest wave of technically-proficient and loud modern day Emo-Core acts along the lines of Zao or a Shai Hulud, In Dying Days does more in one song than I think I've heard on an album's worth from a lot of the quickly fading Aggro-Rock types. The difference? It's all in the presentation. Here we've got three tracks, "Once Were Warriors, "Never Tear Apart," and "Old Paintings," all uniquely styled, built upon pride and perseverance, well focused and driven with intensity and imagination; concerned less with making a quick point, theirs is a diverse undertaking where each song taps into the emotional well of the listener, settling down for mere seconds but never settling long enough to get an exact fix on their premise. Call it "Avant-Garde" as many people will be likely to do, and true enough a statement, it's a step above this noise we call art, resoundingly resilient, aggressive, fast and catchy all at once, then disappearing from the pit of consciousness into an altered state of flux… and in a flash, yesterday's gone.
