Eidola - Eviscerate

By this point, some almost twenty years since Dance Gavin Dance released their debut EP, the term “Swancore” is kind of dated, and a little bit played out. The genre is, too, as every band that fits the bill sounds the same, if not very similar — a vocalist with a voice suited for pop music (and is almost always too good for the band), math-rock and mathcore instrumentation that’s combined with progressive song structures, and lyrics that are either utter nonsense or poetic to the point of pretentiousness. That’s exactly how I’d describe the new Eidola album, entitled Eviscerate. Released on DGD guitarist Will Swan’s record label, Blue Swan Records (hence the name “Swancore), vocalist and primary songwriter of Eidola Andrew Wells is also in DGD, and that’s just one of many cases of how these bands are all connected. They weirdly all share members, like some kind of cult or prestigious club, but I digress.

When it comes to Eidola, I’m somewhat familiar with them. I’ve listened to one of their albums from 2017, but they’ve put out another one before Eviscerate. I can’t say I was super into them, as these guys have always been a carbon copy of the other bands in this vein, but they weren’t bad, either. Wells is a great vocalist, and it’s sort of weird his vocals aren’t utilized more in DGD, but that’s another story for another day. If anything, you’ll get a good time from these guys, especially if you like this sound, and that’s all you can really ask for. I was curious enough to listen to this new album, as a lot of progressive metalcore came out this past weekend, and this was one of them.

I’ve given Eviscerate a few listens, and remember what I said about a lot of Swancore bands having really good vocalists with a sound that blends mathcore with progressive song structures and lyrics that are either complete nonsense or pretentiously poetic? Well, this album is very much in that wheelhouse, and it’s not much different from anything else they’ve done, but it’s not bad. On first listen, this album’s pretty cool, but giving this a few listens now, its issues show themselves more and more. I will say that the one thing about this album that genuinely surprised is how heavy it gets, and that’s different for a band in this vein. A lot of these bands opt for a post-hardcore sound, and their prior albums for, but this is a straight up metalcore album. This thing gets gnarly, and in the best way.

Sure, it’s nothing special, but it’s a welcomed change. Even then, Wells is still a formidable singer, but the problem with this record (and their whole sound) is that the songs just blend together, especially with a lack of hooks. There are a few, but they’re not strong whatsoever. A lot of these bands are in the same vein, they’ve got killer vocalists, yet their hooks and choruses are lackluster. They seem to favor the mathcore instrumentation over accessible songwriting. The record sounds great, and it sounds impressive, but with a runtime of 45 minutes, you can’t just make the same song 12 times. Aside from a few moments here and there, this record blends together, and not in a way that makes me want to hear the whole thing, especially where this band’s sound just go above and beyond anything other bands in this vein have done. It’s a good album, and worth hearing if you love this sound, but you’re not missing anything if you don’t, unfortunately.

Dance Gavin Dance is a band that defies genres. Known for their chaotic blend of post-hardcore, funk, and experimental rock, they create a unique sound that keeps fans coming back for more. Formed in 2005 in Sacramento, California, Dance Gavin Dance quickly rose to prominence with their eclectic style and energetic performances.

At the heart of Dance Gavin Dance is a commitment to innovation. Each album offers something new, blending heavy guitar riffs with intricate melodies. Their vocal dynamics are particularly striking, featuring the contrasting styles of clean vocalist Tilian Pearson and unclean vocalist Jon Mess. This dual approach adds depth and texture to their music, creating a rich and layered soundscape.

Dance Gavin Dance’s lyrics often explore themes of personal struggle and introspection, wrapped in a package of catchy hooks and infectious rhythms. Their 2018 album, Artificial Selection, is a prime example, showcasing their ability to balance heavy and light elements seamlessly. Tracks like “Midnight Crusade” and “Care” highlight their knack for blending technical proficiency with memorable melodies.

The band’s live performances are a testament to their prowess. Their energy is palpable, and they have a way of engaging the audience that few bands can match. Fans leave shows feeling exhilarated, having witnessed a band at the peak of their powers.

In comparison, The Mars Volta, another genre-defying band, shares Dance Gavin Dance’s penchant for blending styles. Formed by Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodríguez-López, The Mars Volta carved a niche with their progressive rock and Latin influences. Their debut album, De-Loused in the Comatorium, is a masterpiece of complex compositions and abstract lyrics.

While The Mars Volta leans heavily into progressive rock, Dance Gavin Dance’s approach is more eclectic, incorporating elements from a broader range of genres. The Mars Volta’s music often feels like an epic journey, with songs that stretch into the ten-minute mark, filled with intricate solos and experimental sounds. In contrast, Dance Gavin Dance prefers shorter, punchier tracks that deliver an immediate impact.

Despite their differences, both bands share a commitment to pushing boundaries and challenging listeners. They refuse to be confined by traditional genre labels, and their willingness to experiment has earned them dedicated followings.

In the end, Dance Gavin Dance and The Mars Volta are kindred spirits in their quest for musical exploration. Both bands have carved out unique spaces in the rock world, and their influence continues to inspire new generations of musicians. Whether you’re drawn to the frenetic energy of Dance Gavin Dance or the sprawling soundscapes of The Mars Volta, there’s no denying the impact these bands have had on the music scene. Their legacies are secure, built on a foundation of innovation and a relentless drive to create something truly original.

Not the biggest fan of Tilian Pearson's work with DGD - it's definitely not BAD but Kurt Travis was a better catch in my opinion, and like, some of the songs he's in are a miss for me - but his early works on Tides of Man are infinitely more charming. It feels better, I don't know. It also helps that Tides of Man has a distinct approach that's very different from DGD's style and all that.

Anyway Empire Theory is a 10/10, highlights are Knowing That You Already Arrived, Create Couldn't Keep Up, Colors Speak True, Not My Love & Western Scene.

[more-jon-mess]

the speed at which DGD fans went from "good riddance to the rapist" to "uwu tilian comfy cozy livestream he's just autistic he isn't actual egotistical he's soooo chill" and massively downvoting/angrily replying to any comments that bring up the CREDIBLE ALLEGATIONS against him... fucking terrifying. Glad I didn't buy tickets to this tour tbh

edit: not that reddit is really a bastion of feminist ideals but I find it very interesting that my comment calling this behavior out was deleted silently by mods without any notification or explanation.

Swanposters annoy me with this talk of Andrew Wells not having ‘the range’. Have these eejits listen to the Eidola album? It SLAPS. He delivered Jonny era songs such as Pounce Bounce better than what Tilian did and tbh I want a more musicianship based experience then the pop vocal dominated stuff. Idk what folks say Andrew is a different vocalist who captures an atmosphere that suits that of DGD’s sound. No different to what Jonny or Kurt brought.

A new DGD era? I’m here for it. Andrew already made his mark way back with guitar work on ‘Deception’ and ‘Bloodsucker’ and vocals of two of DGD’s most loved songs ‘Evaporate’ and ‘Nothing Shameful’. And I’m here for him doing all the cleans.

Anyway I was over the Tilian era cause the guy got too big for his boots. His version of Uneasy Hearts always irked me…. But I wish Mr Pearson well, I enjoy his solo work. Even if he gets ahem… ‘Cocky’
