EP REVIEW: Schisms & Pendulums by Seethe

Seethe‘s latest EP, Schisms & Pendulums, offers a haunting exploration of the human psyche. Out now, this three-track collection delivers a sonic experience that is as captivating as it is unsettling.

With its brooding atmosphere and haunting melodies, “Coalesce” sets a sombre tone. Its layers of distorted beats and vocals create a cacophony of  melancholy and despair.

Building upon the foundation laid by its predecessor, “Cascade” intensifies the emotional turmoil with jarring rhythms and scratchy beats. The track traps one in a vortex of unrest, evoking a sense of claustrophobia and unease.

Unlike the track before, “Dreary” creates a sense of spaciousness and expansiveness. It’s a fitting conclusion to the dark and twisted journey. While “Dreary” paints a picture of desolation and despair, there’s an odd glimmer of hope that reverberates through the notes of the synths. 

With its brooding atmosphere, haunting melodies, and introspective lyrics, each track unfolds like a chapter in a dark and twisted narrative, inviting one to immerse themselves in the depths of their own psyche. Throughout Schisms & Pendulums, Seethe showcases their mastery of mood and atmosphere, crafting a landscape that is both haunting and hypnotic.
