Dimesland - Biography


Biography

With members' musical past and contemporary placement in a divergent array of bands including The Residents, Wild Hunt and more, abstract metal quartet, Dimesland produces a sound that is the result of a blend of controlled chaos and musical mutation, heavy tension and dark psychedelia. As Dimesland, guitarists Nolan Cook and Drew Cook, drummer/vocalist Harland Burkhart and bassist/vocalist Greg Brace create a place where aggression and imagination merge harmonically, rhythmically and lyrically to explore the terrain of psychological havoc and mental fracture. The band's live performances are frantic and dense and feature songs woven together with shorter pieces and textures for an almost nonstop presentation of sound.

Dimesland's debut LP, Psychogenic Atrophy, deploys an incredible barrage of spastic and snarling but dexterous and deliberate experimental metal precision through a crushing analog recording recorded by Justin Weis at Trakworx in South San Francisco (Cormorant, Ludicra, Slough Feg). Staggered through a multifaceted media bombardment over the coming months, the band will independently release their latest work in several formats, beginning with digital delivery in late autumn, a CD version to follow thereafter, and ultimately a deluxe vinyl release by mid-2015.
