New Album “Spectra” Out Dec
16th, 2022 via WormHoleDeath Records
Canada’s The Wring is gearing
up to release a third album “Spectra”
next month, which promises to be an assertive mix of different styles including
hard rock, jazz, metal, classical, 80’s rock, 70’s rock, and probably a few
other things. Solo artist Don Dewulf had the idea and with the help of
accomplished musicians, the project has been brought to life. The next piece
they are sharing is the single “Stiletto”
ft. Marco Minnemann, which Dewulf outlines:
“This song is about the debilitating need for social media
attention and validation. The blade goes in and you never even feel it, then
you slowly bleed out. The verses are in 5/8 and ⅞ creating a somewhat jarring
effect, and also speaking to the theme. Chandler does a killer job on the
chorus vocal and there is a very peculiar odd-time breakdown before the solo.
Very fun song to play.”
He also comments that “Spectra” is a bit
like a 1970’s King Crimson album, but without any ethereal soliloquies and
certainly with a more significant hard rock/metal influence. Compared to last
year’s full-length “Project Cipher”, this new offering carries on in the same
tradition and headspace, but the songs are fuller and cohesive.
The album got its name
because Dewulf feels that it really touches on a wide range of musical styles
and themes. The mixes are very layered with a lot of detail; you can listen to
it many times and still continue to pick out intricacies and small details each
time.
Dewulf is writing constantly
as he always has a lot of ideas to flesh out and bring to the ears of listeners
around the world. He has no intentions of stopping soon, so fans of “Spectra” should keep
an eye out for new music. The
Wring is recommended for fans of King Crimson, Dream Theater,
and Opeth.
