The complete name of the genius American jazz trumpeter, Miles Davis, actually was Miles Dewey Davis III. Dewey is a name chosen by several artists for their bands, some in its simple form, others as Dewey Band, and many more, just like Miles, born with this name. The French band made of Edouard – guitar, Seb – bass, Tony – guitar, Ben – vocals and Guillaume – drums recorded their debut effort between May and June 2010 by them self and released it on their Bandcamp page on 20 May 2011.
Dewey delivering a gloomy mixture of post-metal with roots back to black, death and crust metal, slow, crushing moments are combined with grinding, fast passages, they songs are filled with dark atmosphere, expressive, sometimes quite cinematic elements, but still, very intense, disturbing metal.
It’s a dark, but interesting journey coloured with exciting twists, turns, breaks, changing of tempos and approaches while Ben delivering exclusively raw, howling vocals.
