Post Death Soundtrack’s White Dove EP Review

Musician: Stephen Moore of Post Death Soundtrack

EP: ‘White Dove;’ Released: June 27, 2025

Embarking on a meditative journey in the wake of an emotionally devastating life event is a necessary endeavor for people to move on. Calgary-based sonic experimenter, Stephen Moore embraced that voyage in his new surprise three-track industrial-alternative-electronic EP, ‘White Dove.’ The record is now available under his rock-metal solo project, Post Death Soundtrack.

The musician distributed his latest compilation following the debut of his critically acclaimed 30-track double album, ‘In All My Nightmares I Am Alone.’ Much like his earlier work, his new EP merges heavy rock and metal instrumentation with insightful lyrics. The record’s liberating instruments, philosophical lyricism and tantalizing vocal performance infuse the tunes with an enlightened ambivalence.

Moore has stated that he decided to release ‘White Dove’ because he felt a continuous creative flow after he finished production on the double album. He thought the three new songs were “important, but I didn’t want to hold back the release of ‘In All My Nightmares I Am Alone’ any longer. Later, I started experimenting and ended up with a small collection that felt meditative, sparse, and worth sharing on its own.”

To showcase the diversity in Post Death Soundtrack’s music, Moore emphasizes his tracks’ shimmering textures and eerie restraint. His latest compilation is rooted in ambient space, electronic spontaneity and emotional openness that emphasizes stillness after chaos.

Post Death Soundtrack crafted a dense electric symphony of heathen guitars and brazen bass throughout the EP. The collection pens with its title track, which exudes an overall haunting soundscape. The record’s first entry weaves eerie, multi-layered vocal backings and ominous instrumentation as it descends into a== darkness.

The opening entry then leads into ‘Crimson Hand,’ which weaves together a solemn piano and crackling effects. The instrumentals and effects are set against an industrial-forward aesthetic. Moore continues to reflect on the aforementioned element of disguising himself when he’s confronted with danger throughout the tune.

The track was originally meant to be included on the full-length album. However, the musician ultimately decided to set it aside to preserve the record’s integrity and momentum. Now, it stands on its own on the EP, after developing organically during late-night sessions of sonic exploration.

The compilation’s ending song, ‘Playing Shadow,’ is another foreboding tale fueled by atmospheric songwriting. The gripping lyrics are set against pulsating instrumentals and vocal range.

Post Death Soundtrack continues to blend visceral intensity with introspective through its blend of ferocity, serene and surrealist absurdity. Fueled by minimalism, electronic improvisation and ambient introspection, ‘White Dove’ is a riveting, genre-bending journey through industrial rock and metal. The EP is a natural continuation of Moore’s fearless dedication to confronting emotionally devastating situations.
