Winds Died Down

reviews
We sincerely thank these reviewers for supporting independent music!

"With the success of bands like Type-O-Negative and other metal crossover type that integrate goth and industrial with a primarily metal foundation, WINDS DIED DOWN could make it very big. In a style similar to Uranium 235, they meld a wide range of influences into a surprisingly coherent dirge-like sound that draws as much from Metallica and London After Midnight as it does from electro. The result is a very accessible sound really unlike anything we've heard before."

"WDD attempt to implant an electronic heart in heavy metal's corpse and largely succeed, thanks to good songs, plenty of aggression and a beat that gets you moving like a cattle prod. They tread the same scorched earth as Needle and others, but a willingness to experiment (exemplified by "Strangers With The Eyes Of Men," a forbidding mood piece crafted around a 6,000-year-old text with vocals recorded on an answering machine) lifts them above the churning black masses."

"The debut in itself has a movement... it's like the best book or film in the world you can't stop before tasting the whole piece. You got to know how it ends!... one big explosion of good electronic, cyber and industrial sound. The heavenly drum beats from Wumpscut the great feelings like Skinny Puppy, this album has it all..."

"Gothic to th' goo-goo, this CD, in from MOK, will either thrill ya' or make ya' hate it! Ghosts run thru th' woodwork of yer' foyer & come (somehow) creepin' outta' th' speakers. More than just 'nother "drone" band, there are some patches herein that make it KICK!... Their use of synthetic overlays is quite skillful, enough so in fact that it kept me listening all th' way through - & that's SAYIN' somethin'!"
- Improvijazzation Nation - (Washington, USA)

"After thirty odd listens to this EP, I still remain at a total loss of words.
...spawned from a void that is devoid of musical influence of any kind."
- Sonic Boom - (Oregon, USA)

"...Overall this first CD is a professional production worthy of its genre."
- Flux - (London, England)
