“In excitatione terrae” is a rousing, intensifying rock success from Viamaer, the project of Polish artist Krystian Jurkiewicz. Functioning as part of the forthcoming debut album In lumine lunae, the track reflects the project’s core ethos: an emotionally driven, multi-layered expression born from silence, transformation, and the need to give sound to what words cannot hold. A sprawling, delectably dark rock production ensues.
Solemn, late-night electric guitar tones trickle with enjoyable intrigue as the track begins to unfold, bolstered by slight percussive pulses. A steadier rhythmic rumination aligns with blaring guitars thereafter. The escalation of emotion is wholly satiating, complemented by a ghostly vocal emergence that immerses in its dynamic range — from initially haunting subduedness to a screaming intensity. The latter tone navigates with ample ferocity as the track’s midpoint approaches, also signaled by elongated guitar textures that captivate into a moody guitar-fronted procession.
A frantic assembly of energetic rhythms and whirring guitars emit contagious energy as the four-minute turn passes. The final two minutes of “In excitatione terrae” then mesmerize with a stellar balance of powerfully soaring guitars and sturdy rhythmic propulsions, at times resembling a more foreboding Sigur Rós. Impressing across both dreamy and raucous vocal work, with equally compelling guitar accompaniments, “In excitatione terrae” is a resonating rock success from Viamaer.
