There once was a Metalcore band called Watch Them Fade. The group from my hometown Würzburg disbanded in 2018 and their bass player and songwriter Marc Fischer decided on going after his passion Post Rock. And those who knew their music will know that in the later phase Watch Them Fade have played a very atmospheric version of Metalcore. Therefore, Fischers transition was not as big as it may sound in the first place.
Hence, Six Days of Calm was born. The one-person band from Lower Franconia that is very likely to become a new star in the tranquil univerese of melancholic instrumental music.
"The Ocean's Lullaby"is aseven-track release defined by spheric sounds and the soulful musical rendering of moods, feelings and emotions. And the title of Six Days of Calms release could not have been chosen better. Each of the seven songs perfectly musicks the hypnotizing power of the ocean. The musical themes and motifs move like cold streams of water beneath the surface of the waves. Every note on the album invites you to close your eyes and figuratively dive into the everlasting melancholy of the ocean.
Deep in this soulful journey there is another dominant feature that creates the air of "The Ocean's Lullaby". Like a lonesome diver discovering the peaceful depths of the sea, the feeling of isolation is being created. Far away from human contact the sounds make you look into yourselves while gentle waves placidly caress rocks, plants and maybe a shipwreck.
