Dimentianon/Chapter VI: Burning Rebirth/Pest Records/Paragon Records/Symbol Of Domination Productions/2023 Full Length Review

 

  New  York's  Dimentianon  has  returned  with  a  new  recording  which  shows  the  music  going  for  an  atmospheric  mixture  of  black,  doom  and  death  emtal  with  elements  of  ambient  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2023  album  "Chapter  IV:  Burning  Rebirth"  which  was  released  as a  joint  effort  between  Pest,  paragon  Records  and  Symbol  Of  Dominion  Productions.

  Ambient  style  synths  start  off  the  album  and  also  gives  the  music  more  of  an  atmospheric  feeling  while  also  mixing  in  with  the  heavier  sections  of  the  songs  at  times.  When  the  music  speeds  up  a  decent  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast b eats  can  be  heard  and  the  vocals  are  mostly  grim  sounding  black  metal  screams.

  Melodies  can  also  be  heard  in  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  while  death  metal  growls  can  also  be  heard  at  times.  Some  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length  along  with  the  slower  sections  of  the  songs  also  bringing  in  elements  of  doom  metal  and  all  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Clean  playing  can  also  be  heard  in  certain  sections  of  the  recording  along  with  the  music  also  having  its  brutal  moments  as  well  as  the  songs  also  adding  in  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts, clear  vocals  can  also  be  heard  briefly  and  one  song  is  also  an  instrumental.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  Death  and  Darkness themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Dimentianon  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  atmospheric  black,  doom  and  death  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Turn  To  Ash"  "The  Determining  Line"  an d "Black  Angel".  8 out  of  10.

Dimentianon/Collapse The Void/Paragon Records/2010 CD Review

  Dimentianon are a band from New York that plays a style of black metal that also takes influences from doom, death, ambient and progressive music and this is a review of their 2010 album "Collapse The Void" which will be released by Paragon Records.

Drums cover a lot of different ground with some slow to mid paced beats mixed in with a good amount of fast drumming and brutal blast beats, while the keyboards bring in a good amount of atmospheric, progressive and symphonic elements to the music, as for the bass playing it has a very dark and progressive sound that contains a lot of strength and depth.

Rhythm guitars mix fast melodic black metal riffs with some doom metal riffs that also contain a brutal death metal edge as well as progressive parts mixed in with some thrash influences, while the lead guitars have a very dark progressive death metal feel to them mixed in with a lot of different influences from many different styles of metal.

Vocals are high pitched black metal screams that also take influences from classic metal with some deep growls being used at times mixed in with a small amount of clean sung female vocals., while the lyrics cover everyday life type of themes, as for the production it sounds very professional and you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording.

In my opinion Dimentianon are a very original band that should appeal to all fans of melodic black metal as well as symphonic black metal. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Breathe Deep" and "All Goods Things End". RECOMMENDED BUY.
