Background/Info: Danish composer Paw Grabowski has already been active
for several years now. He has released an endless list of productions and
especially the past few years seem to have been prolific years. This album is
the first one he released on Cyclic Law.
Content: The album features a single cut that will take the
listener away for nearly 60 minutes of joy. The composition sounds pretty
cinematic and is dominated by a kind of desperate, melancholic vibrating tune.
It sounds like being played with a string instrument. The tone comes constantly
back while the song is progressively evolving.
+ + + : The song has been characterized by a genius dark tone.
It’s a composition with a strong visual appeal that can’t leave unmoved.
There’s a kind of emotional element emerging at the surface, which reinforces
the visual strength of the track.
– – – : The track sounds a bit like a loop that is constantly
repeating itself. It creates a kind of “Bolero”-effect, but the main difference
is that this track doesn’t really evolve towards an absolute apotheosis. That’s
precisely what this cut is missing.
Conclusion: “Without Blood The Sun Darkens” has the potential to
become a masterpiece, but is missing variety and a real, noticeable
progression.
