A glorious mess...
Dimentianon's latest CD is a hammer-smashed mess of strange melodies, sinister aggression and twisted lyrical form. After buying this at the suggestion of a friend calling it "gothic metal" I had no honest clue of what to expect. (Von, of course, being notoriously hateful of anything related to the genre of "gothic".) This though, was a pleasent suprise of sounds, lyrics and artwork that all built intself into a spire of hatred and filth that few can try to ignore.

The boys are obviously talented musicans and play furiously, the vocals creep and crawl with an appropriatly sinister fashion and the overall mood is one of violence and emotional disrepair. Brilliant! The production may turn a few off, but as the old saying goes when used in terms of "darker" or "grainy" production... "IF IT'S TOO HEAVY YOU'RE TOO WEAK!" The sonics, while unconventional, are absolutely stunning on this recording. The lyrics, of course, only add to the oppressive atmopshere created within the sonic chaos.

Dimentianon have many new directions to explore after this CD thankfully, as this one, like an good statement, leaves the band open to make even more statements. In a world where extreme metal is often dwindling in innovation and backing itself into a corner, Dimentianon is opening doors to frightening to sonic landscrapes that simply HAVE to be explored.
