812) Skyharbor - Dim

New Delhi-based progressive metal band Skyharbor has a sound heavier than most if not all artists we've posted on our blog. With "Dim", however, they present us with a softer sound that finds itself somewhere between Linkin Park and System of a Down. The powerful vocals and incredibly complex guitar riffs soar and shine through in this prog-infused nu-metal belter. The song's somber lyrics criticize corrupt world leadership and discuss the repercussions of dishonesty. They are written very earnestly and with metaphorical and poetic lines that remind us of some of the greatest death metal lyricists. Cleveland's Eric Emery skillfully delivers the vocals on this difficult piece and makes the band's unique sonic vision whole. The many parts of the track are sewn together with assorted guitar solos written in odd meter. Understanding how long it must have taken to piece together, "Dim" just has to be appreciated for its artistry. Having said that, you probably need to be at least slightly attuned to this type of music to connect with it fully. Feel free to dive in if you feel prepared, or alternatively want to give something new a try.
Enjoy! ♪
