TDW - The Day The Clocks Stopped


TDW have been kicking around the Dutch scene for a while now, but this latest offering, The Day The Clocks Stopped is something different. this is an intensely personal offering outlining the project mastermind, Tom de Wit's life or death struggle with inflammatory bowel disease at the age of 19. It's an intense listen and extremely rewarding, full of emotion and proof of mans ability to overcome. The record is potent in scope, full of unique ideas and constantly leaving listeners begging for more. It's a prog metal album that is excellent musically, but brings so much more to the table.

If anything this prog metal masterpiece is most similar to Pain Of Salvation's In The Passing Light Of Day about frontman Daniel Gildenow's struggle with disease. The end result of The Day The Clocks Stopped is an intense listen. It's a long record with layers upon layers. The centerpiece of the album is 'No Can Do' an 18 minute long epic. TDW brutally outline their struggle but also show us how he found the strength to carry on. It's a record that is terrifying at times, but the honesty found within is also what makes it so appealing. It really gives you a sense that with this latest offering Tom de Wit and his collaborators are documenting the human condition. 

There's a lot to pick apart on The Day The Clocks Stopped and a lot of music to digest. It's a really gripping offering though and one that really encourages spending time with the magic of the record and uncovering the myriad layers. It's an album that goes above and beyond to document a terrifying moment in someones life and embracing the reality of it is a little bit strange. That being said - this is a glorious offering and one I'm sure I'll be coming back too - there's simply so much to love about what has been done here. 

Pre-order the album!
