"The rings of crises"
The album is a compilation of crises, in different forms. It is an attempt to evoke emotions which lie at the core of discomfort. The four songs are representative of the causes of pain. The soundscapes have been designed to suit the ethos of each song & the lyrics are inspired from real life experiences of anger, guilt, sorrow, and fear. We want to take the listener on a journey of self-actualisation through this album, as our aim is to create a sense of catharsis through the experience of the four songs. The album artwork – “The rings of crises” is a metaphor for this very listening experience. The three layers represent the first three songs on the album and depict the imagery contained within it. In the centre is an empty void, representing the fourth song.
Using their time post-pandemic to write and record a follow-up to 2018’s Ah Puch, the band’s forthcoming self-titled album scheduled for release in March 2023 on Immersive Sounds– finds the quintet taking a sonic journey of discovery. Offering up a truly devastating and personal statement, particularly when compared to the wide-sweeping vistas of Mayan myths and South American jungles of their debut, Dirge looks inward while simultaneously reflecting our world at large.
The band’s new self-titled album ‘Dirge’ will be a 43 minute long album consisting of 4 tracks. Sonically it's a unique blend of doom, sludge, post-metal, psychedelic rock, contemporary doom and the likes, which the band believes makes for their best effort yet
