░▓█████▓░╟─────────────────────────────────────RELEASE NOTES╢░▓█████▓░
░▓████▓░░║ ║░░▓████▓░
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Have you ever finished watching a particularly ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ moving film or completed a strikingly emotional ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ book, only to sit in your plush-leather seat; ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ dumbfounded? There is that split second of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ realization that nothing you ever accomplish in ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ your life will come close to the intellectual and ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ emotional genius you just experienced. I have had ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ such a feeling on only a few rare occasions; ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ however, after each listen of Thrice's Vheissu, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ this numbness pummels the skin around my chest. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ It is perfect. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Reflect on that word for a moment, perfect, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ because it is not something I write often. Yes, I ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ get excited about CDs, and yes within the next ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ few years you will probably see me become aroused ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ by music time and time again; however, I will ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ never use the word "perfect" to describe another ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ CD again. As of this moment, and due to this ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ album, it's retired. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Before we journey further, let us get the basics ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ out of the way: ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Is it good? Yes. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Should you buy it? Yes. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ If that is all you wanted to know, stop reading. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ It is no secret that I do not write many reviews. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ I am quite simply not that good of a writer to ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ discuss musical shadows on pieces I do not fully ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ love. Yet, on the rare occasion I am absolutely ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ floored by an album, I feel that I have a duty to ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ put to paper how an artist's work has changed me. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ This is such an album. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Open your mind. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Morse code through the atmosphere is how the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ anathematic album begins its systematic takeover ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ of your life. Like a wolf haunted by the smell of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ blood, we are tossed into the album's opener ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Image of the Invisible" with that un-shakable ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ feeling of hunger and lust. Addicting gang-vocal ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ chants lead the listener through not only this ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ song, but also act as if to foreshadow an ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ undeniable rallying call motif. Do not get too ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ comfortable because we move quickly from the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ fast-paced opening track to an almost slower ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ melodic trance. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Within "Between the End and Where We Lie," we ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ find stimulating noises stalking through the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ background of the track. The ambiance almost ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ draws your attention away from the vocals; but ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ only for a second, before they come crashing back ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ to the forefront of your consciousness. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Beautifully constructed; it is within the small ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ details of the song the listener should pay ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ attention. Lyrically, Dustin has taken his ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ already superb writing to a completely new level. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ It is mind-bending how listening to another's ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ words can actually make you feel smarter. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ As the song fades, an ethereal voice sings as if ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ bouncing off granite walls. The listener is ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ immediately drawn into the somber mood. If while ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ listening to the previous track you thought the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ band had lost their harder edge, it is within ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ "The Earth Will Shake" you realize how very wrong ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ you were. Pushing forward with a rhythmic ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ intensity we are dragged though one of the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ biggest songs in recent memory. If you allow ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ yourself, you can slip into an almost daze like ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ state; the sun raining on your back, the sweat ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ stinging your eyes, the salty taste in the corner ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ of your mouth as you echo the chant down to the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ soil at your feet. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ The picture painted through the music is ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ pristine. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Moving seamlessly from the gruff screams of the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ previous track to poignant melody the listener ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ becomes engulfed as "Atlantic" takes off with a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ plethora of sounds. It is as if the song itself ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ has created an atmosphere around its listener. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Acoustic guitars and calming drums acting as the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ guide by which your body is pulled to ever so ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ tightly. The song leads perfectly into "For ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Miles" which opens with a dancing piano piece. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ While their peers continue the march of "par for ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ course," Thrice evolved. They have pushed the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ envelope for not only themselves, but for all of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ music under this scene's umbrella. Epic. The ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ chorus on this song has no other description for ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ which it fits. It is as if the collusion of time ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ and space has this chorus already predestined for ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ greatness. The most amazing part is that this ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ word ... epic begins to take on a completely new ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ meaning as the album progresses. I have only ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ called two other albums in my entire life "epic," ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ because I think the word stands itself, and the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ article it describes, up on too high a pedestal. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Yet, I am not in the slightest squeamish of using ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ it to describe the complexity that enthralls the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ listener with each new listen. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Hold Fast Hope," bursts with a fury I cannot put ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ into words. Dustin's vocals scratch at the back ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ of your eardrums, the bass line reverberate your ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ teeth, and the lyrics border on gospel. What ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ appears to be an ode to the Biblical tale of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Jonah appears through the shifting bitter screams ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ and soothing melody, that only Thrice can create: ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ deep beneath the black dawn, leagues from ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ lightningÆs flash ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ribs will raise cathedrals for the morning mass ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ steel yourself in sackcloth roll your heart in ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ash ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ scrape your skin with steel wool and hold fast ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ hope ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Each song brings forth the art of music. Each ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ constructed to spin an atmosphere acting as a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ rallying call. "Music Box" churns out a steady ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ rhythm; "Like Moth to Flame" contemplates its own ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ tempo with each beat. The songs beginning in a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ completely different area then where they end. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ This sort of song writing leaves the listener ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ unable to guess where each song will take them; ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ and this journey is what makes the music so ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ infectious. "Of Dust and Nations" ghostly opener ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ paints a mood upon the canvas of the willing ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ mind. Each track acting as a separate piece of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ art within a gallery; the common theme apparent ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ in all, yet each taking on a life and breath of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ their own. Vocals move into the most melodic we ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ have ever heard from the band and wither into a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ lengthy dreamy instrumental as the song fades. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Stand and Feel Your Worth" should be the anthem ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ by which the world unites behind. The bass and ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ drums are magnificent. Dustin's vocals border on ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ screams yet pull back just before climaxing; all ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ of the notes are carried just long enough to ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ linger as after-thoughts. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ we are wrought with breath and dirt, washed in ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ second sight ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ woven through the earth, wreathed in rings of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ light ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ we will wield a second birth, whet our wits and ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ knives ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ wrap our knees in earth, wrap ourselves in light ║▀░▓████░▀▄

▄▀░████▓░▀║ The production makes it sound as though the band ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ is playing in a red sahara mirage, surrounded by ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ sand where you can almost feel the needles ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ tapping your cheeks. The apex comes with the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ gruff screams of pure passion that close out the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ track. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Ending the album with "Red Sky" is as if the best ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ was held for last. Epic. There I go using that ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ word again. Fucking epic. It's bordering on being ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ the best song of the year. It's so good, that I ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ feel I'm doing a disservice by even allowing ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ myself to attach my own words to it. Everything I ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ have ever written isn't worthy of being ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ associated in any way with how absolutely ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ breathtaking this song is. It could close out ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Lord of the Rings," or "The Godfather," û that's ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ how epic this track is. I'm not saying anything ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ else besides buy this album just for this song. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ You'll get your money's worth in just this four ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ minutes and twenty seconds. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
