Surprisingly for a band named after an
Isis song,
Wills Dissolve are not an identikit post-metal band; instead, their second album,
Echoes, is a one-song extreme prog odyssey into the depths of space. To bring this journey to life,
Wills Dissolve utilize ambience, melodic guitar duets,
Cynic-style vocoder, and other melodic elements alongside a myriad of extreme approaches, including
Opeth-esque riffing, up-tempo blasting, dissonant solos, and trudging doom. Via musical alchemy,
Wills Dissolve combine these various approaches influences into gold, with "Echoes" demonstrating a level of songwriting maturity far beyond what one would expect of a sophomore effort.
