BLACKWATER HOLYLIGHT : SILENCE/MOTION
“BLACKWATER HOLYLIGHT’S third LP is a referendum on what heavy music can be. Equally concerned with introspection as it is with letting spaces build naturally in compositions, Silence/Motion is paradoxically stripped down and high fidelity, benefiting greatly from its focused writing and often sparse ideas. The band’s at ease with using softness and quiet as much as they are hammering massive chords, the album’s intention and contrasts immediate and parsed out with specific grace.”

BLACKWATER HOLYLIGHT- SILENT/MOTION
“Track by track, Silence/Motion absolutely crushes the listener in a vice of visceral pain and catharsis. Each note, each musical interaction, each vocal intonation, each rhythm is another blow of emotional reality. Each spin of the album immerses me anew in the comfortable/painful waters, ebbing and flowing through the labyrinthine artwork playing through my speakers. An absolute masterpiece!”

Sh*t That Comes out Today: October 22, 2021
“A marked departure from their first couple, more psychedelic records, Blackwater Holylight’s third release definitely plunges into the first part of their name. I mean, you don’t grab folks from Mizmor, Thou, or Inter Arma two guests on your album unless you plan on going to some dark places. A little more doom, a little more introspection, but the same mastery of melody they’ve always displayed – whether or not they return to the light, they move confidently into this new phase of their career.”
