Some albums take you on a journey, and sometimes you don’t even realize that you’ve started one until suddenly something in the music shows that you’re not at home anymore. A moment catches the ear and all at once you look around and see not your bedroom, or your office, or the gym, but a vast ocean full of cloudy haze, or a stormy mountainscape covered in wind and rain, or an oppressive cave mouth yawning open before you. That’s what happened to me on my first listen to Slow Wave Violence. It was the opening of track 3, “Slow Wave Deceit”, that opened my eyes to the journey. […]
Music has long provided a powerful outlet for feelings of loss and grief. Of course, that makes a lot of sense; it’s something all of us go through, including the artists we love, so it’s only natural that many would want to express those experiences through their music.

Depression is a difficult subject to approach no matter the medium.

There’s no one right answer, and it’s likely that every person will feel a bit different about it. One thing is for sure, and that is that music is the most personal and intimate of art forms, and every person who gives voice to their struggles is to be commended for baring an extremely tender part of their soul to the listener.
