Heilige! – Riverside (EP – Heilige!)
Genre/Influences: Dark-Ambient, Cinematographic, Experimental.
Format: Digital, Cassette.
Background/Info: There’s not much information available about Heilige! This project is driven by Heinrich Wilhelm and “Riverside” is the debut work featuring six tracks.
Content: The tracks are pretty short –only one cut of 4 minutes, which creates a somewhat fragmented impression reminding me of Cinematographic productions. Fields recordings have been mixed with dark Electronic atmospheres. There’s an inhibited atmosphere emerging from the work, which becomes a bit wafting during some passages.
+ + + : There’s an interesting duality between the dark, dominant sphere and the evasive effect of the work. I like this wafting sensation emerging at the title track.
– – – : The cuts are definitely pretty short and that’s a pity; a bit more elaboration would have been interesting to get a better idea about the real potential of this project.
Conclusion: Heilige! doesn’t set the world of Dark-Ambient and Cinematographic genre alight, but I think there’s more hiding inside this project than what comes out.
Best songs: “Dark Woods”.
Rate: (6).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
