Velnias – Rending Of Dyadic Convolution [EP]

velnias – rending of dyadic convolution [ep]

Info

Starting off life in 2006 from Nederland in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado; Velnias were born. Starting off early on they were pert near a Wolves In The Throne Room clone. Thankfully, they have progressed and grown and added more influences and personal touches with each subsequent release.

‘Rending of Dyadic Convolution’ is their brand new three song EP. Where the bookend tracks are literally just an intro and outro. While the main track of this affair is eight and some minutes of Velnias taking “the path of intense cinematic imagery, capturing a stunning monolithic visual…” (per their bandcamp). The real meat of this EP here starts off sounding almost identical to Isis and then just builds and builds from there. Adding in layers and layers of influence and their own personal touches until it reaches critical mass. A jumble of Post-Metal, Post-Black/Black Metal, Doom and Shoegaze all intermingling in a gorgeous cacophony of wonderment.

While I would consider this more of a single than an EP per say, with the opening and closing tracks just being all part of the whole but none of that really matters. For whatever this piece of art is called in the end; art is truly what it is. And beautiful, dissonant, lush, layered and chaotic piece of art at that.
