It ebbs away, leaving us with deeply triumphant instrumentation striking through the epic drum sequences. It’s longing reaches over to us from the other side of a deep canyon. The voice retains all of its humanity, left completely untainted by the atmosphere of transmutation that permeates the performances. It lays over the instrumentation perfectly. With a menacing bass drum snaking into the soundscape we first hear the vocal layer. The lower parts come surfing back in and we are treated once again to a thoughtful, emotive sample.īutterflies take us back into the endless corridors of euphoria. The bass elements of the current sample are extracted, leaving tinny melodies for a moment. A beautiful Japanese ballad supported by sometimes strange, alien sound effects and percussion. Like mischievous children spreading their dinner out across the new carpet, the two of them continue to clip and transpose as they see fit, unabashed by the live audience looking onward. 家へ帰ろう, again another song starts as if we’ve burst in on the two members of the act doing something sonically they shouldn’t. One can only imagine the catharsis of what is missing, as the hurried glimpses death’s dynamic shroud permit us to see are beautiful and filled with longing. We hear a young vocal part accompanied by bells and remnants of a piano melody. But within it we hear a tremendous, world-building force through shatters of its former whole. The sample is submerged within delayed copies of itself. It suddenly pitches down, transforming a sample that was vibrant and sporadic into a sultry, distorted ballad. A short, unrhythmic fragment slips out sporadically falling into an echoed chamber, but most of the time it’s dead centre, standing confidently before the listener. death’s dynamic shroud set a scene of incomparable size and magnitude at the very start of the live album.ĬD Player II shatters this sublime atmosphere somewhat. Euphoric noise screams towards us at the beginning of every repetition. One repeating, polyphonic motif seems to lead the tumult of sound behind it. More atmospheric melodies dazzle the listener, stuttering slightly before launching into a structured refrain. Euphoric strings push onward, adding a humane element to this cosmological slow dance. Some moments are a little tragic, it feels as if this entity is being pulled to their limit, yet continues to sing beautifully. Parts are somewhat comical as we hear the computer aided machine struggle to reach the next note, and falter slightly in between.

The precise timings of the voice invite us to have a myriad of reactions. When the bass falls out it seems to gloop like chewing gum. It’s almost inhuman form stretched, with each bass hit propping it up. The voice achieves prominence in the mix. The chord sequence circles round in a beautifully quaint melodic pattern.

The vocals at first, are stretched incomprehensibly, merely melodic parts of the background noise. Tinny notes play like screeching alarm bells. We join death’s dynamic shroud amidst a fray of slowed sound in TWICE!. The album features tracks from various albums, as well as previously unreleased material. In their latest outing, DDS compile a selection of performances from a tour of Japan in 2018. But, with releases prior, deaths dynamic shroud have evidently sought to surprise and stun. Whether it be their landmark work I’ll Try Living Like This, or the reality-shattering album CLASSROOM SEXXTAPE (listencorp review here). Moreover, concepts that deal directly with subjects such as artificiality and the non-physical. One does not often picture a live performance when faced with a work or indeed an artist that works heavily within concepts.
