Coming out of Norway, Transcending Into the Unknown is a new family formed outfit, featuring the talents of Filip, Robert and Stian Dahl. Bound by blood, Filip and Robert are brothers, while Stian, carrying the Dahl legacy, is Filip’s son. The band name, Transcending Into the Unknown, also signifies the trio’s plunge into a completely new and unexplored musical experience.
This family project rises as a blend of the member’s unique musical flair, background, influences and performance styles. Filip, an accomplished guitarist with an extensive catalogue of releases, showcases his songwriting prowess and performance finesse. Robert, with a decorated musical career spanning decades, previously made waves under the moniker pzyroks.
The trio made their debut towards the end of last year with the self-titled instrumental composition “Transcending Into the Unknown,” a bluesy guitar-driven instrumental track that served as an enthralling introduction to their musical universe. Now, they return with their sophomore single, “Giants,” diving deeper into a darker soundscape infused with brooding prog rock and a metal-inspired aesthetic.
“Giants” continues the band’s exploration of an exciting and unique musical amalgamation, a reflection of the distinct musical backgrounds and influences each member brings to the table. Opened by the splash of drums cymbals, the chug of electric guitar enters to fold in tension building riffs as the marching roll of drums and lead guitar cap the sound.
Wah-drenched guitar lines take flight, crafting a shifting rock soundscape that sets the backdrop for the vocals to take over. Delivered with rasping intensity and layered up in a crowd style, the vocals lay down powerful lines over the arrangement, peppered with slick guitar leads and punching drums.
Across its five minutes, “Giants” offers an epic sonic adventure across various styles and moods to craft a song that showcases the range, creativity and musicianship talent of Transcending Into the Unknown. It’s a superb continuation of the Transcending Into the Unknown world, seeing this new trio go from strength to strength with their second release.
