You tore the thorns from my skin - While I keep forcing the nails through my limbs - Still I stare through the glass that's your heart - Words made of concrete forcing down my tongue

DROWNSHIP creates a mix of heavy and progressive soundscapes, accompanied by screams and clean singing.
"DROWNSHIP already convinces with confidence and strength of character on their debut. “Tidal Passages” is an all-round hit that clearly shows what DROWNSHIP are capable of and what can be expected from the Hamburg band in the future." 8/10 metal.de - #5 in metal.de's soundcheck
If you want to listen to intelligent, but not intellectual metal that has been crafted with great attention to detail and darkness and is at the same time firmly rooted in the local underground, you shouldn't miss “Tidal Passages”. 14/15 Legacy
