The idea is that the album portrays an emotional liminal space or period – a transition; a place between the two boundaries of disdain and acceptance of oneself.
Overall, this was an interesting listen, it’s a lot to digest and unpack, but for those who enjoy a mix of electronic metal rock, this could scratch the itch, it was quite intense at the beginning, but once you ease into it and get into a rhythm, it offers a unique listening experience that could be just what you’re looking for.
The industrial, electronic, and alternative rock influences converge into something that feels entirely its own—cold, unrelenting, and unnervingly immersive. If this reworking doesn’t leave you in a deep state of reflection, take it as a clear sign you need to scratch beneath the surface of your psyche.
I hope people will listen to this music and resonate with the overall message of reconciliation; and if they connect with some of the darker aspects, they will follow that journey to the release and acceptance of themselves.
Dead and Dried proves that mothshade is far more than a seasoned composer—he is an architect of atmosphere, twisting electronic textures into something both punishing and transcendental.
