“An Eerie Feeling” does exactly what it promises, and for me, that honesty is part of its strength. This isn’t a track trying to grab you by the collar or chase algorithmic attention. Instead, Cries of Redemption pull you slowly into a tense, shadowy space where atmosphere matters as much as riffs. It’s dark, melodic, and deliberately unsettling, a song that feels designed to sit with you rather than rush past.
From the opening moments, the track leans into contrast. Heavy rock guitar work provides a solid, grounded backbone, while cinematic electronic textures drift in like a low fog. There’s a haunting undercurrent running throughout, something that feels closer to film scoring than traditional song structure. I get the sense that Ed Silva isn’t interested in verse-chorus comfort here. He’s setting a scene, letting tension build and linger until it becomes the main emotional driver.
That approach makes sense given the ethos behind Cries of Redemption. Founded in Savannah, GA, back in 2007, this project has never been about visibility for visibility’s sake. Ed’s long-documented history on platforms like ReverbNation and Kompoz gives the music a sense of continuity that predates the current obsession with instant content. Listening to “An Eerie Feeling,” I hear someone focused on craft and mood, not metrics.
Sonically, the track reflects the project’s genre-blurring identity. Modern Rock and NuMetal grit collide with elements of Classic Trance, Cinematic Trap, and Romanian Deep House, creating a hybrid sound that feels surprisingly cohesive. It’s experimental without being messy. The influences—ranging from David Gilmour and John Frusciante to Carl Cox—don’t appear as obvious references, but more as shared DNA. Melody and atmosphere are treated with equal importance, and that balance keeps the track engaging even in its quieter moments.
Vocally, the song benefits from its collaborative, hybrid approach. Female vocals from professional session artists Denisse Ferrara and Maria Duque add an ethereal, almost ghostly layer, while Ed’s own vocals, refined through Audimee vocal modeling, sit deeper in the mix. Rather than feeling artificial, the blend of human performance and technology reinforces the track’s eerie, slightly unreal tone.
Production-wise, “An Eerie Feeling” sounds meticulous. The use of FL Studio alongside the full iZotope and Waves suites results in a mix that’s clean but not sterile. There’s grit where it needs to be and space where tension needs room to breathe. It feels intentional at every step, which makes the track’s restraint all the more effective.
Ultimately, this is music for listeners who value mood over immediacy. “An Eerie Feeling” doesn’t beg for attention; it waits patiently for the right listener. If you’re drawn to rock that feels cinematic, brooding, and unafraid to linger in the dark, Cries of Redemption offer something quietly compelling here.
