The Interpretation Of Nightmares

Silvertomb’s second album, *The Interpretation Of Nightmares*, reunites Type O Negative alumni Johnny Kelly and Kenny Hickey in a record that draws on their former band’s dark atmosphere while taking a more psychedelic, less overtly metallic path. The review finds the album elegant and melodic but weighted by grief and loss, showing how the musicians continue to develop their own sound.

The 33-minute record moves from the heavy opener “Brain Matter No God” through songs including “Graves In The Sky”, “Distorted” and “No Way To Live”, which the reviewer calls its strongest track. Its closing song, “When Will You Learn”, is described as nearly as good; overall, the album blends slow doom riffs, psychedelic textures and echoes of classic rock. Kelly also currently plays drums with Quiet Riot.
