The Revelations of Wave & Form is truly a series of gothic “revelations”. Each piece seems to resonate with darkness and night and offers a deep evocation of mood and sense. Delashay’s use of classical music is in many ways ironic, he turns it against itself and creates a unique ambiance which is powerful and awe inspiring. There are certainly many “dark” musicians on the market, but many seem to be “show men” or simply “skin deep Goths”, this is truly intense, brooding music which awakens the senses in a profound manner. What makes Delashay stand head and shoulders above the rest is his immense talent as a musician, a classical musician at that, and his ability to transform that form into something which is uniquely diabolical.

Delashay’s rendition of ‘Battle Hymn of The Apocalypse’, Anton LaVey’s signature piece is superb and a fitting tribute to a very unique man while He Rides Through Hallow’s Eye is a superb journey through the country on the darkest of nights, evocatively executed and written with a fierce pace which certainly enlivens the mood.

Piano Sonata in C#m, Op. 143 is an astounding piano piece which really shows Delashay’s skills, it is fast, beautifully executed and absolutely magnificent.

There is also a great movie clip (in quicktime) on the CD of the Battle Hymn of The Apocalypse in suitably ritualistic style, a superb black and white film clip which certainly embodies the power and satanic majesty of the piece.

I could continue praising the CD but it would seem overkill, I would like to leave some tracks for you to explore yourself ! There are fourteen tracks in all and each one offers something different. I could not find one track I did not like ! In my mind this is a truly impressive release from Delashay and I heartily recommend it.
