Death's Dynamic Shroud.wmv - ✰Rare Emoji Collection✰
CLASSROOM SEXXTAPE (2016)

Backgroud:


If you have never heard of vaporwave then there is a good chance you may be completely confused and slightly perturbed right now. It may be safe to say that we should save an overarching "vaporwave" discussion for another day, although maybe some general information may be helpful for the uninitiated. I would recommend listening to some youtube vaporwave mixes to at least have an idea of what this genre is all about.

Death's Dynamic Shroud.wmv is one of those artists that only a true fan of vaporwave would recognize, unlike all of the albums that are repeated ad nauseam. For that reason I refuse to mention any of the 3-5 albums that are relevant to non-vaporwave enthusiast (as well as some vaporewave enthusiasts), as I find it tiring.
 
2016 was a very different time for vaporwave, as we saw the genre move towards a more experimental and aggressive route. On Death's Dynamic Shroud.wmv's previous album "I'll Try Living Like This" the current of vaporwave shifted and all of the horrible dark and disturbing influences of the genre began to show, as if the genre vomited all of the repressed anxiety it was holding, becoming more like a German Expressionism piece rather than what it stood for in 2011.


Review:

This is one of those rare instances where I would say to watch the music video as an accompaniment to this song, as it provides the perfect backdrop to accentuate the feelings present in the piece.


The building tension in this song goes on for an extended period of time, only to be met 2 minutes or so in by an even more tense and disturbing vocal sample, and a massive orchestral drop that makes your heart drop. The only sense of relief given throughout the tracks stands boldly all the way in to the 2:37 mark, as the listener is greeted by a digitized vocal melody that sits over the musical cacophony that has been building up throughout the track. As the track continues more melodic elements are introduced until the final closing of the track.

I would describe this era of dds.wmv music, and this track in particular, somewhere between a horror soundtrack, and an orchestra, while all the time maintaining a grandiose flair. This style of music is not for the faint of heart, or the uninitiated. Not easy to listen to or experience, but entirely worth the experience if you are prepared for it.
