Deadwing

Porcupine Tree

A cinematic ghost story told through heavy metal riffs and ethereal pop. Meticulously polished, alternating between crushing intensity and haunting, urban beauty.

It's like a David Lynch ghost story told through a mix of beautiful pop and heavy metal riffs.

A sophisticated, urban ghost story that oscillates between ethereal beauty and crushing metallic intensity.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition in Arriving Somewhere but Not Here from a dreamy ambient wash into a crushing, syncopated metal riff.
Adrian Belew's frantic, avian guitar solo that cuts through the title track's industrial pulse.
The layered vocal harmonies of Mikael Åkerfeldt providing a ghostly, choral depth to the climax of Lazarus.
