Gradience - Undone (Official Video)

Buy here: http://www.metalblade.com/gradience gradience /ˈɡreɪdiən(t)s/ (noun) the absence of a clear-cut boundary between one category and another On the debut LP from this shrewdly named Danish duo, the usually clear-cut boundary between apocalyptic, sludgy blackened death metal and dark urban trap-rap is thrillingly pulverised. Lines of musical convention are further blurred by disarmingly emotive and intimate vocal lines, and a vibrant sound picture heaving with glacial synths and hypnotic sonic details. At first it might daunt and confuse those who like their boundaries clear-cut, but at the heart of Gradience's brash and radical new sound is an authentic and heartwarming new friendship. In 2022, guitarist Jakob Harris and vocalist Gavin Mistry struck up an immediate creative rapport at a Copenhagen show for local deathcore heroes Cabal. Although from very different backgrounds - Jakob a visual artist and musician playing in "a popcore band", Gavin a main player "in different hip-hop constellations" - they quickly found common ground in an area both were keen to explore. "We found out we had many of the same musical influences in metal, even though neither of us had ever played in a metal band," says Jakob. "We later found out we both were at a crossroads with the bands/projects we had going on, and we both felt an urge to create something new together." As Gavin remembers, this inciting revelation took place on the most important day of his life, one way and another: "I invited Jakob to my wedding, where we talked over the idea of joining forces in a semi-drunken haze. I was searching for something where I could blend my honed skills in rap and rock, the right way." If you're looking for a handy stylistic descriptor to make sense of Gradience's versatile, mashed-up innovations, you'll have to invent your own; the old-fashioned 'rap metal' tag scarcely does it justice. "I don't really feel we can be put into the box of 'rap metal'," muses Gavin, "but for people to more easily identify our sound, I tend to somewhat compare us to what could be conceived as 'rap metal'. Though, our genre is really just a mixture of all the stuff we like, all neatly packaged with some bars, screams, and double bass drums."

Undone -------------------------------- Yeah Mind imploding like submersible Got my woes still tight umbilical Caught in the crosshair Turning away Try to mend the decay Cuz I got Tired of critical These mind-bending medicinals The colors fade I'm living metaphysical So turn it to grey Yeah, I'm more invisible So burn it away Yes just set me ablaze Yeah Fate revealing Something I believe it's gonna be Cuz I'm seething so enraged This possession's got me Stall the feeling As you find the bleeding artery Cuz I'm breathing still so obsolete This way Cuz it's better said than left undone Like fragments fall, they pile upon So set me ablaze My arrogance undid my place in the maze Stayed on track but derailed Yes I deceive So just turn it to grey I'm more invisible Burn it, burn it, burn it all away I'm ridiculed Shot my shot, I missed the loot Tried another time I wasted precious revenue I turned it to grey Guess I acted more predictable So burn it away Said this shit was a phase Yeah Fate revealing Something I believe it's gonna be Cuz I'm seething so enraged This possession's got me Stall the feelings As you find the bleeding artery Cuz I'm breathing still so obsolete This way Cuz it's better said than left undone Like fragments fall, they pile upon So set me ablaze My arrogance undid my place in the maze Stayed on track but derailed Yes I deceive So turn it to grey I'm more invisible Burn it, burn it, burn it all away Cuz it's better said than left undone Like fragments fall, they pile upon So set me ablaze My arrogance undid my place in the maze Stayed on track but derailed Cuz it's better said than left undone Like fragments fall, they pile upon So set me ablaze My arrogance undid my place in the maze Stayed on track But derailed Turn it to grey I'm more invisible So burn it all away Cuz it's better said than left undone Cuz it's better said than left undone
