We previously reported when composer Filip Dahl teamed up with family members, Stian Dahl and Robert Dahl on a joint venture and debut opus, Transcending Into the Unknown, so when we heard that the talented creators are back with Giants, we couldn’t wait to immerse ourselves in the track and share our experience.
Drawing us in with astral cymbals, a super dimensional bassline and textured drums, Giants opens with intrigue and dynamism. We are met with a fierce electric guitar performance that is nothing short of transcendental – in line with the overarching concept of what the sibling trio have to offer!
Giants is a mesmerizing masterpiece that showcases a perfect blend of masterful instrumentation, atmospheric vocals with harmonies, and thought-provoking lyricism. Each instrumental performance has a tangible identity of its own, intricately weaving together to create a rich tapestry of sound. The musicianship is impeccable, with each note played with precision and purpose.
The vocals are nothing short of breathtaking, perfectly complementing the instrumental arrangement and creating a truly immersive sonic experience with dynamism and charisma. What truly sets Giants apart is its philosophical lyricism. The lyrics delve into profound themes and introspective thoughts, inviting us to reflect on the meaning of life and our place in the universe.
The band acknowledge their range and tell us how the track clearly shows their darker, heavier and more prog rock inspired side in comparison to their blues-rock oriented debut.
Filip Dahl is a composer and multi-instrumentalist with a diverse music career, rooted in Norwegian rock bands of the 70’s, and renowned for his work as an engineer and record producer. His brother and bandmate Stian Dahl is a skilled guitarist who began with blues and rock influences, but has since incorporated elements of neoclassical and death metal into his playing style, whilst Robert Dahl is the former frontman of Ack-Ack, a punk-metal band in Trondheim, who has returned to the music scene as pzyroks. His music draws inspiration from thrash metal, doom and stoner rock, as well as blues and jazz, with a focus on the guitar.
We admire how the siblings have come together to create such an inspiring project, and we have added Giants to our New Music Spotlight playlist and our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the trio’s epic debut single, and anticipate future releases from the talented creators.
