Mother – Interlude

Mother is a Belgian post-blackgaze band from Ostend. Founded at the end of 2017 they started writing a first album where songs fade into one continuous story. An intense journey in which fragile melodies are being alternated with heavy guitars and drums smashing back and forth until they intertwine into an enormous soundscape. The journey they create is a complete experience, musically as well as visually. Like their hometown’s North Sea there is a constant ebb and flow of sludge-soaked noise, with terrifying roars tearing through frenzied and impactful guitarwork. Mother is no-nonsense. Hard, intense, emotional yet unforgiving. Created as a way to fill the emptiness between full albums, Interlude I: The Loving Care Of A Mother For A Child is a stand-alone piece, written within the same universe as I. The interlude tells a story of a mother figure guiding a protagonist, the listener, through a burdensome journey. Her guidance might seem helpful at first, but she has a manipulative, self interest buried underneath.
