Bringing out a thorough and transformatively progressive sound to his genre, Saves the Witch offers something remarkably unique on the instrumental journey of ‘She Dances with Knives’. Starting with a groovy and foreboding rhythm, the song soon shifts focus into something metallic and menacing that has you ready for a head banging session before receding into the more mellow and melodic section. It’s got a groove, a poise, and a tempo that’s downright infectious to sink yourself into. There’s something very different that’s being attempted and done on this record, a sort of infusion between post rock, alternative rock, and heavy metal.
An instrumental tune that wavers in mood and progressives in tone and emotion, ‘She Dances with Knives’ is a juggernaut of a piece well worth any guitar and metal enthusiasts attention.
