Genre-bending band NOISEVEIN dropped “WATER” today, August 7th, the latest single from their upcoming debut album, PLANEWALKER. The track is an evolving narrative around the protagonist, often referred to as The Planewalker (inspired by the game Dungeons & Dragons), who is struggling with alcohol addiction. Through sonically intensifying instrumentation, NOISEVEIN captures the emotional journey of falling into addiction.
“WATER” opens with a euphoric, luminous melody, relaxed percussion, and muted guitar, gently drawing listeners into its immersive world. The synth-infused progressive rock track begins with a light, dreamlike atmosphere that mirrors the Planewalker's initial state of intoxication, capturing the sensation of weightlessness, loosened inhibitions, and rapturous escape before the adventure begins to unfold. As the track progresses, the percussion strengthens, creating a darker and heavier soundscape symbolizing the habit taking form as an ongoing obsession. In the final part of the single, the guitar begins to punch through, furthering the troubled climate. “The song grows darker and heavier as the addiction takes hold, with noticeable changes in the lyrics referring to a growing dependence,” the band explains. “Eventually, the character can't seem to survive without the drink, and the music reflects this, becoming aggressive, heavy, and oppressive.” As the arrangement gradually intensifies, NOISEVEIN explores the feeling of dependency in a new and creative way, allowing listeners to feel like they are experiencing the tale right in front of them. The song closes with the unfortunate demise of the Planewalker, where they are pulled under by their obsession and drowned.
