Translated from Italian:
The Deadists are a swedish band. It'd be pretty limiting to define them Stoner-metal or stoner-doom, infact their sound is rich and gathers even muddier influences from people like High on Fire and Melvins, but it is characterized also by atmosphere interludes that are pretty far from the genre and leaning towords trip music.Original review at Aristocrazia Webzine
Time without light is their second ep this year and with its almost thirty minutes it's like a shovel well slammed in your face (very good compliment in italian for heavy music)... but it's very well dosed in 5 tracks that diversify the intensity.
Since the opener song, Woven, the singer J. gives it to you straight with his imperial and angry vocality: there is gonna be a lot of headbanging! Peter and Anders' riff work travels thru the hardrock of "human stein" to the atmospheric groove of "infinite self" as if it was the simpliest thing in the world. Reminding of Pantera in some small parts.
The sound softens with Deeper within, still retaining heavyness but less tense and direct, expanding riffs in intensity and lenght, giving chance to markus' drumming to move from the almighty strenght shown in the other tracks to express great dynamics that keep high interest and tension in the track.
Chase the Giving comes to life from a monolithic bass solo by Paul, then sinks into heavy rhytms and at the end of the piece it blows the listener away with a defined tempo change!
The deadists didnt leave anything to chance, using knowledge and support from experts like Sven Jensen for production and Goran F. for mastering.
Eventho the band is very well prepared and studied a lot, infact their songs show a lot of work, they manage to express genuine sensations, which is a very positive thing and makes them a very interesting band to follow carefully in the genre.
Time without light is another important brick for the stoner scene coming from sweden, great music that is worth the money!
