"Eventide and "Waterline" are both somewhat spontaneous and unplanned, which were borne into existence out of a necessity to find an outlet for a diversifying creative flow.
Consisting of members of the French progressive death metal act Epitaphe, it is easy to see how Eventide has become a continuation of their sound.
As an album itself "Waterline" is a beautiful meandering journey.
The album grew out of long improvised rehearsals, mixing synthesizers, effects, saxophone and layers of guitar.
Eventide were able to draw on their love of jazz, drone, ambient and electronic music to craft streams of constantly morphing atmosphere.
The music feels seamless – but it covers much ground, yet the listener is often unaware of the morphing shifts, just blissfully taking the flow of the album as it evolves, unfolds and cycles through eerie and ethereal sonorities"
Aesthetic Death
"Waterline" was recorded live (except for the title track and very few overdubs).
Eventide is a member of the Eptagon Collective.

Amazing atmospheric progressive black metal with some doom vibes.
Illusions In The Wake is emotional with some haunting melodies.
An outstanding debut album!
Highly recommended! Sælzer Bub
A record of wave-like production and washing, encompassing guitar riffs. It's criminal this hasn't gotten further reach, but it's well worth the purchase. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
The new album from Late Bloøm is full of hushed, soothing compositions that sit between ambient & classical minimalism, whispery & stirring. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 30, 2020
Minimal, blippy synth music from Pabellón Sintético that feels like blinking lights on an old computer sounding off in melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 21, 2023
