Indie rock band Dying Habit has unleashed a sonic beast with their latest album ‘There Is No Sky’, a scorching, high-octane grunge fest steeped in the chaotic raw thrill of engaging riffs, honest lyrics and kinetic motifs.
Everything in Reverse
Building from a hypnotic entanglement of moody notes, the track swerves into a U-turn of energetic riffs and pedals. The soundscape is electric, setting the tone for the album.
Bow
This track almost uses its predecessor as a jumping-off point to delve further into a grungy palette, bringing in more crunch with the guitars and an earthy texture with the vocals.
Run to the Beehive
With ‘Run to the Beehive’, we get a smoky flavour with a raspier soundscape. There’s more tension injected into the composition, giving it a gritty feel, with the addition of a few discordant notes sprinkled in.
Three Letter View
This is one of those tracks that carries an enigmatic ambience throughout, where the guitars surround you with a thrilling set of motifs, while the drums carry a powerful momentum.
The Face We Feel
This track picks up a similar tense mood, but with a more introspective vibe, focusing on the atmospheric haze before it transitions gradually into its energetic motion. The arrangement has the instruments follow the vocalist with flickering notes, evoking the imagery of an unstable, angry flame.
Sting In The Tail
As the title suggests, the song truly does “infect the senses” with its stinging chords and menacing vibe. The soundscape has layers stacked on top of each other, giving it a solid, piercing feel. This track stands out with its unique arrangement and instrumentation.
Pity Magnet
A heavier and edgier track on the album, ‘Pity Magnet’ rips into the scene with a crunchier array of distortions and expert manoeuvring of the rhythm- a stark feature of the album in general.
Centuries
This track steps back into the dichotomy of hypnotic and fast-paced with a growing tension that gets a satisfying release, right before it’s pulled back into its tense soundscapes. It’s one of the more experimental tracks from the album with a longer instrumental section.
There Is No Sky
The title track, the arrangement extracts some flavour from each of the other songs, crafting a mix of bold, tense and rapid energy.
Whatever It Takes
Another track that delivers a neat set of riff arrangements and fiery vocals, this one crackles with a spicier energy, with its rough textures.
Divulsion
A feverish experience, this track almost develops a language of its own, with the instruments conversing with one another. It’s a song you can settle into, as it’s the longest one, and it plunges into a more experimental arrangement, a perfect way to end the album!
This is one album that doesn’t have a single skippable song, with each scratching the right parts of your brain, especially if your brain is itching for novelty within the grunge soundscape.
