Single Review: Time and Relative Dimension in Space

Domes newest release, Time And Relative Dimension in Space, is an incredibly deep track that offers so much to the listener.

It interweaves soaring melodies and harmonies into what you would be forgiven in thinking was a thrash metal song from the explosive introduction. But quite quickly, it shifts into a softer, more approachable sound in which Matthew Bosher’s guitar work sets a beautiful atmospheric tone, lifted even further into the ether with wonderful lyrics, gentle vocals, and a chemistry between all members that paints a canvas of interconnectedness. The bass runs from Brendon, play against the simple yet deceptively complex rhythms created from Dan on the drums.

My absolute favourite part of this track was at around the 1:16 min mark. Just such a beautiful feeling that ultimately prepares you for the exciting and super explosive final few minutes of the song. Matthews scream is piercing, breaking through just moments before where he was able to sing with such sincerity.

Overall, this track, in my mind, is a masterpiece. Just read about how they wrote it on their website, learn where it was done and just the actual track itself. New Zealand metal/rock/progressive music is so diverse and exciting, and this track is a statement about how Domes does it. I’m a big fan of this one and their previous works.

If you get into groups like Karnivool, Tesseract or Deftones, you will enjoy this.
