Establishing the mood with dimensional textures, intricate, elegant guitar melodies and a luscious astral frequency, Dave Belding opens Purge And Flourish with a meditative energy and situational prose.
We immediately connect to the grunge adjacent journey that the star is taking us on. There are elements of dark wave, laced with a Nirvana-esque vocal, and we absolutely love Dave’s vocal timbre, range and the charismatic emotion that he delivers with gothic guitar solos.
Overall, the instrumental is masterful, and we can imagine the opus being used in multiple blockbuster synch deal scenarios, but equally it could slip onto the Queen of the Damned soundtrack.
Speaking on the release, Dave Belding confesses, “For me, raw emotion is best laid out in its purest form when it comes to music.”
He continues, “I tend to blend and stir genres together. There’s a progressive quality in my music, and a need to keep the music unpredictable, and unique, and not for the sake of being different, but because it’s necessary.”
Dave cites Tool, Korn, Soundgarden, and Thrice as influences, although there is no doubt that what he is creating is unique to his own design. We love Dave Belding‘s message and transcendental nature, and have added Purge And Flourish to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Dave Belding‘s wider discography, including Left Unchecked, and One and Only.
