Review: One Dying Wish - In Eidetic Resolution

artist: one dying wish
album: in eidetic resolution
label: none/demo
released:

by: rob tatum

This is the first release from the Colorado band One Dying Wish. The band is melodic hardcore with emotional lyrics. Comparable to the likes of Poison the Well or In Pieces, the band possesses good musical ability and a sense of creativity. As someone who has been around the music scene for a while, this is the type of band Colorado needs more of.

This four song CD demonstrates what the band is all about; heavy, yet melodic music with screaming vocals and background singing. The songs are well arranged and really grab the listener from the get-go. The guitar work is really good throughout the songs. The lyrics are the most appealing part of the music from my perspective. They may not be groundbreaking, but they are intelligent and heart-felt. “All that I love disintegrates. Is this my fate? Refuse the mirrors reflection. I will never see myself again.

One Dying Wish has the potential to become something great. The band has a great sound and I am really looking forward to a full-length and whatever may come beyond that. As this band progresses, they will continue to improve the music scene and hopefully be a building block for more bands with the same passion for music.
