Ukrainian Metal project Diminium, led by acclaimed sound producer Dimi Rich, announces the release of the new EP titled "Dominant", following the debut album "Dissonant".
"Dominant" delves into the fusion of Black Metal with a modern touch, ambient keyboards, progressive elements and transitions seamlessly into Death Metal with versatile vocals, blastbeats, and intense breakdowns. Through this musical exploration, Diminium paints a vivid picture of the intersection between personal identity and societal upheaval, particularly amidst the backdrop of a nation embroiled in a war.
Bandleader Dimi Rich shares insights into the creative process behind "Dominant": "On this EP, I decided to strip away the layers of overproduction present in our previous work, instead opting for a raw and natural sound. This decision lends the record a sense of authenticity and harshness, allowing the atmospheric and brutal nature of the music to shine through. While the debut album was characterized by indignation and frustration, this release represents a shift towards navigating the complexities of our reality - of course, with a touch of rage."
With its eclectic and emotive music, "Dominant" serves as a poignant reflection of the human experience in turbulent times. Each track describes the fate of personality inseparable from social processes/phenomena while living inside the country at war.
