A decade has now passed since the release of “Twilight Ritual”, the second LP from Little Rock's Deadbird, which features current and former members of Rwake, Iron Tongue, Pallbearer, and more. Though much has changed in the metal world since then Deadbird remains steadfast in their ability to sculpt heart-wrenching and gutsy songs from the deepest, darkest places within. Years of toil and scorched southern soil went into the band's third album “III: The Forest Within the Tree” resulting in forty haunting minutes of emotive turbulence and resolute grit.
An intense listen from the outset, after “The Singularity” intro the one-two punch of “Luciferous Heart” and “Heyday” carry the weight of the grandiose and the grave, burning with furor and primordial light. At times dipping into quietly morose acoustics and at others crushing with a Neurosis-like magnitude, Deadbird offers the scope of the world weary and of sentiment laid bare on compositions like “Brought Low” and “Bone & Ash”.
Ten years is not a short time between albums, but the passing of years have solidified Deadbird into an entity well versed in the art of vigilance. The eight tracks comprising “III: The Forest Within the Tree” are their best to date and signal the awakening of new day for the band. The album is a must-hear release for fans of Rwake, Samothrace, Neurosis, Alice In Chains, Kylesa, Pallbearer, Spirit Adrift, His Hero Is Gone, and El Dopa.
