I've been on the Dirge bandwagon ever since wondering how the hell can they top their last masterpiece. One could argue Hyperion is Elysian Magnetic Fields II but I have no problem with a band sticking to their trademark sound as long as it continues to be distinctive and interesting.

3rdWorld China was a neat Posts: 4367	Permalink 12.06.2014 - 08:30 3rdWorld China was a neat Posts: 4367 Can see why it is compared to Godflesh but not as thick as that. Also I would call it in the vein of Industrial doom rather than Atmo sludge but thats just me. Very good album indeed and the title track is the highlight here. ---- २०१८ - Non Habeo Aures.

I think I'm gonna change that tonight. ---- "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something." Loading...

Dirge are my favorite "post" - whatever band at the moment. I'm still big on EMF - a great album that, and the only reason I really made sure to get in a few solid listens to this once it was released. I can see myself ultimately liking Hyperion better, but both albums are great. ---- "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something." Loading...
