Album Review: Dream Unending – Certain Uncertainties
Album Review: Dream Unending – Certain Uncertainties
Reviewed by Sam Jones
Well here’s a release I wasn’t expecting. The progressive, atmospheric death metal act, formed in 2019 out of members from Canada and the United States, by members from Innunerable Forms and Tomb Mold, return with their third full length album, Certain Uncertainties, a full four years on from their 2022 opus Song Of Salvation. Exploding out of the blue in 2021 with Tide Turns Eternal, Dream Unending snapped heads round to them with something genuinely fresh and exciting. Since that debut release the band have only grown in rapport and following their Starpath split with Worm, more people are catching on to Dream Unending’s allure. Marking their fourth release overall with 20 Buck Spin, Dream Unending seek to unleash this new record for an October 30th date and, thoroughly surprised by its existence, I was yearning for new adventure.
One reason I appreciate Dream Unending is their courage to write music outside people’s expectations. Most records of this style would burst forth with massive energy to throw you back into the wall but Dream Unending aren’t about such directly explosive emanations. Their approach is far more avant-garde and whilst you eventually feel those riffs manifest themselves, and with vocals bellowing and reaching for the depths, their songwriting can be pensive, melancholy without slamming such emotions in your face, altogether stewing you in their cauldron as you listen closely to where you’re being taken next. Dream Unending are content in driving wedges between yourself and the abyssal scope of death/doom where desired, to include sequences cerebral and harrowing.
This is what makes Dream Unending such a curious name because they really delve into the deeper, incorporeal corners of avant-garde metal, into recesses where it is noticeably harder to retain physical touch; yet the band, with their third record now, exhibit particular finesse and understanding in knowing what such a sound entails. One can imagine seeing Dream Unending in a seated show, watching the band unfurl their myopic soundscape, one feels on the cusp of lucidity and otherworldliness. This is bolstered by their willingness to utilise jazz components like trumpets featuring heavily during their title track, hearkening to mind a classic noir aesthetic, underlining all things murky and beneath the surface. In a way that’s a sonic metaphor for Dream Unending as they peel back what metal may sound like prior to breaching the surface.

Perhaps more so than anywhere across their discography, Dream Unending showcase their proclivity for heavy atmospheres void of overt intensity. As you listen you’ll find the band are playing well and fast in their most eager instances with the hammer coming down repeatedly. But then you’ll find the intensity and driving rabidity present in most metal records isn’t there; it’s been entirely expunged of every bladed, lacerating, weighted object in the room. It’s as if Certain Uncertainties was thrust into a vacuum, retaining the band’s weight of instrumentation and vocal delivery yet leaving behind all the sensory slaughter death/doom traditionally possesses. Some may be deterred from experiencing such a record but for those familiar with Dream Unending this may be viewed as precisely what they’re after.
Given the record isn’t aspiring to be the most visceral this year it gives it the greatest degree of accessibility yet in Dream Unending’s catalogue. With that said the drumming does a stellar job at keeping you engaged with their instrumental performance, whether that be with bass drums, the cymbals etc. The drums are placed well in the mix for they don’t conflict with the rest of the band but when they make even the most basic of strikes, they feel taut, at the forefront and integral to the track in question. Reducing the intensity actually brings stronger spotlights upon the drums and how the band use the full kit to their advantage, summoning patterns matched to the essence of each track. It’s the kind of record that would force any drummer to really think about what they’re going to play, what they need to play, to keep the audience glued and on their side as they perform metal outside typified realms of carnage.
In conclusion, Certain Uncertainties sees Dream Unending completely forgo all pretexts of appealing to fans of metal, instead writing and performing the record they want and think is right for them. It’s the kind of record you play out loud on vinyl with your smoker’s jacket on, the fireplace is crackling, you’ve got a fine glass of whiskey in your hand and you simply lean back in your recliner. Yes it’ll bring the heavy sound you want but this record is noticeably more elegant, suave, sophisticated than the average piece of extreme metal. It’s the kind of metal record you could absolutely see performed at a seated show and I wouldn’t complain at that. I thoroughly enjoyed this, Certain Uncertainties is a wonderful palate cleanser for when you’re after something outside the majority of what you’ve been experiencing lately.
