Acoustic roots return to lift up the forever unmistakable vocal stylings and lyrical darkness and depth of 3mind Blight. The iconic indie songwriter collaborates once again with Crimson Violet Blight, this time for a melodic and guitar-led venture through an evocative story of betrayal, denial, disgrace, and desperation.
Judgement Day rightfully draws upon precisely the kind of language and implications its title suggests. It’s an epic and confronting tale of finding nowhere to run from the closing curtain of judgement day, and it’s perhaps one of the most impossible to pigeon-hole styles to emerge from 3mind Blight in quite some time.
This impassioned arrangement of keys, strings, rhythms, guitars, and two complimentary cascading voices, makes for a distinct alternative to both the simple softness of Blight’s pure acoustic releases, and the sheer weight and ferocity of his more common heavy metal and alternative rock takes.
Woven into the mix with seamless contemplation and equal personality, Crimson Violet Blight’s echoing voice stands taller than ever, throughout the exponentially evolving energy of Judgement Day.
The four-minute composition is intricate but vocally quite raw, depicting a clear sense of emotional contrast, which reinforces these poetic and inescapably scornful lyrical reflections – the likes of which hold listeners accountable for their own mistakes, and highlight the undeniable truth of any veil or mask being worthless once we approach the inevitable Judgment Day.
“A castaway without a name, Who can’t be saved, so take the blame.”
