The interchange and intersection of luminous guitar haze, bright synth drone and the sound of piano charting alternate courses from the main wash of melody in the new Sleepwalker single “The Last Farewell” feels like the end of something, certainly, though more a moving onward to greater horizons and expansion of the mind, it is a sound of walking toward possibilities with a hint of nostalgia for what you might be leaving behind. The motes of tone sweeping past you as you are drifting forward through the song’s breezy pace is analogous to what it might be like to pass through a wormhole or through a whiteout blizzard in Siberia with the sun lighting up the landscape but hidden from view. The sound of the song conveys a strong sense of momentum and movement in the emotional and spiritual sense as symbolized by movement in the physical realm. Listen to “The Last Farewell” on YouTube and connect with the Russian transcendent black metal/cosmic drone band Sleepwalker on Bandcamp through the Ksenza Records page and on Spotify.
