Jan 28, 2025An uneasy listen, but also one that’s very satisfying and ultimately rewarding.
-
Feb 10, 2025The effects, walls of noise, sharp changes in tonality and song structure are engaging and well-executed. Despite stretches of atmospheric passages and droning instrumentals, Never Exhale doesn’t ever feel boring. It is deliberate without being robotic, and creates an introspectively bleak mood throughout the record.
-
Jan 28, 2025Never Exhale is not for the faint of heart, and as its name suggests, is often a breathlessly intense, punishing listen, one filled with audible dynamism, sonic interest and gnarled heaviness.
-
Jan 28, 2025Minor quibbles aside, ‘Never Exhale’ is a gripping exercise in textured menace.
-
Jan 28, 2025On this their second album they have created a sonic world that is heavy with atmosphere, tension and gothic drama. The anxiety of the guitars and basslines are a thread throughout ‘Never Exhale’ and yet alongwith the striking percussion it all hangs together as a most glorious whole which will envelope the listener and weave its spell.
-
Jan 29, 2025For all its fury and fragmentation, Never Exhale is remarkably cohesive, a testament to DITZ’s ability to harness chaos into something purposeful.

Jan 31, 2025On Never Exhale, DITZ sound like they’re running on a treadmill at maximum speed, and in a bid to keep up, stumble into knee-jerk turns to some less-than-exciting tendencies perpetuated from their first release.
