Night Verses - From The Gallery Of Sleep (2018)

Posted By: gribovar

Most of the time, the loss of a vocalist in a band is followed by either a break-up or a replacement. But Night Verses ain't having none of that. From The Gallery Of Sleep proves that there is no need for a vocalist in the band. If any of you remember 2016's Into The Vanishing Light, you probably remember Night Verses as that progressive metalcore band that had a knack for cool instrumentals but didn't really stray too far from what you'd expect from a progressive metalcore band. Now with vocalist Douglas Robinson no longer in the band, Night Verses had to do more than just make their usual music sans the vocals.
Whereas the material they did previously was great, and Douglas did a great job as a vocalist, it was quite unexpected to see the grounds that the band could reach now that the vocals were no longer the listener's guide. The other thing that the departure of the vocals brought, besides the obvious lack of vocals, is that the metalcore tinges are much more subdued and barely present; instead, Night Verses sound like a much more post-rock-influenced Animals As Leaders. There're bits of post-metal, electronica, and djent all over it, but not enough to effectively alter the progressive core, making the music feel less vicious and chaotic and more playful and mature. There's plenty of interplay between the more ambient sections, often filled with distorted spoken word samples, and the more noodly ones, thankfully both integrated in a way that doesn't feel generic or forced; instead each part feels like it fits exactly where it should.
From The Gallery Of Sleep is an instrumental progressive album that feels really soulful instead of just a showoff of abilities. Goes to show how removing one dimension of something can help something expand greatly into its remaining ones. Night Verses would've fared well even if the departure wouldn't have happened, but then we wouldn't have this.
