Dionysiaque are a band from France that plays a mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Diogonos" which will be released in March by I, Voidhanger Records.
A very slow doom metal sound starts off the album while you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and spoken word parts can also be heard briefly.
The more aggressive vocals also bring in more of a first wave style while also mixing in a decent amount of clear singing. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also bring in more of an 80's metal style along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats.
Elements of thrash metal can also be heard at times along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as the interludes also adding in a brief use of flutes before returning back to a heavier direction, clean playing can also be heard on some of the tracks. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover occultism, mythology and darkness.
In my opinion Dionysiaque are a very great sounding mixture of black, doom and thrash metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "By The Styx" "Vineyard And Ivy" and "Sparagmos". 8 out of 10.
