Waterline by Eventide

"Eventide and "Waterline" are both somewhat spontaneous and unplanned, which were borne into existence out of a necessity to find an outlet for a diversifying creative flow.
Consisting of members of the French progressive death metal act Epitaphe, it is easy to see how Eventide has become a continuation of their sound.

As an album itself "Waterline" is a beautiful meandering journey.

The album grew out of long improvised rehearsals, mixing synthesizers, effects, saxophone and layers of guitar.

Eventide were able to draw on their love of jazz, drone, ambient and electronic music to craft streams of constantly morphing atmosphere.

The music feels seamless – but it covers much ground, yet the listener is often unaware of the morphing shifts, just blissfully taking the flow of the album as it evolves, unfolds and cycles through eerie and ethereal sonorities"
