Witte Wieven – Dwaallicht (Album Review)

Release Date: April 14th 2023 - Babylon Doom Cult

Witte Wieven-Dwaallicht

Witte Wieven (spirits of wise women) unveils their third release Dwaallicht ( stray light), their first full-length that continues their evolution into a formidable musical entity unafraid of experimentation and open organic development of their music.

The duo of Carmen (Vocals, Bass, Guitars, Samples) and Sarban (Drums, Samples) from Tilburg experiment with music in all its forms and let the emotion of the song dictate its direction. ‘’ Het mistige zicht’’ with its evolution is vast and expansive. When the atmosphere is given a more straightforward approach as on the turmoil that is  ‘’Kringen,’’ (circles) the black metal influences are allowed to shine through yet it is always atmospheric, dense, encapsulating and mesmerizing in its fearlessness to plunge into darkness and yet reach for the light.

From the pulsing rhythm and building tension that combines the ethereal vocals of Carmen and the earthen guitar riff that is ‘’Drogbeeld,’’ Witte Wieven have created another moment of utter excellent post-rock atmospheric music that takes its heart in the extreme and merges it with melody to create its own dynamic vision. Every second is crucially delivered with urgency yet intangible.

The more one reaches for it, the further away it becomes as it simultaneously enshrouds you with its beauty and its darkness. An album that is completed by the live rendition of ‘’Met beide benen in het niets’’.

Exciting, vital,  hypnotic and spellbinding. Dwaallicht is an album that lingers in the soul and conjures infinite possibilities, able to create the darkest emotions and the sumptuousness of atmospheres.
