First review is in:
For those of you who follow(ed) the Belgian scene a bit, The Quiescent (RIP) should ring a bell. It's from that period and in that band, that the idea for P:407 was born in the minds of Joris Timmersmans and Filip Dupont (better known from Gorath & Mahlstrom). Knowing that the project consists of this duo, my expectations rose quite high. "The Post Dagger Experience" creates a sort of atmosphere-laden musical landscape... I tend to say 'a mix of influences or styles' a lot about bands, but here it's more unique: it's a blend of emotions. The clean vocals are tender, touching and almost solemn, and paradoxically enough, they add significantly to the music's 'feeling' through their emotionlessness. It's this voice that guides us through the compositions, drenched in despair, dreaminess, anxiety and melancholy. A demo of outstanding quality, for fans of Katatonia, Opeth and Anathema!
