Richmond, Virginia's solo project Breaths has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of doom, sludge, post, progressive metal, post hardcore, shoegaze and post rock and this is a review of his 2025 album "Death Can Wait" which was released by Elastic Stage.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album while the slower sections of the songs also bring in elements of sludge and doom metal. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are mostly high pitched screams that also add in a touch of black metal while clear singing and growls can also be heard at times. When synths are utilized they also take the music into a post rock mixed with shoegaze direction along with the mid tempo sections of the songs also being heavily rooted in hardcore as well as the album also having its progressive and experimental moments and a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length.
On this recording Breaths takes blackgaze, sludge, doom, progressive, post metal and mixes it with hardcore, shoegaze and post rock to create a very diverse recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Breaths and if you are a fan of blackgaze, sludge, doom, progressive post metal, hardcore, shoegaze and post rock, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Now We Prey" "The Ghost Remains" and "The Tower". 8 out of 10.
