Dancing Into Oblivion
After the release of Kuarahy concurred with the blast of the worldwide pandemic and all the consequences it has generated, White Stones – MartÃn Mendez’s project (Opeth’s bass player) -are ready to launch their second record.
When White Stones released Kuarahy they became the first Spanish band signed to Nuclear Blast Records, cementing their first album as an unprecedented milestone. Now, with Dancing Into Oblivion, the band returns with a more compact sound, having been hard at work ensuring the utmost attention to every detail for a result that is even better than the first record.
The most outstanding musical elements on this new record are the disparate genres that manage to co-exist. There is an element of aggression, that can be seen rearing its head in an instrumental frenzy, as well as soft and delicate intricacies that develop an atmosphere which surrounds the listener. There are distinct dynamics among the songs, with interludes allowing the listening to take a breath and appreciate what they’re hearing.
