Dimentianon - Chapter VI Burning Rebirth @ Black, Death, Doom Metal

Dimentianon - Chapter VI Burning Rebirth @ Black, Death, Doom Metal

Once again, Dimentianon returns with their own style of Black, Death, Doom Metal charged with mesmerizing atmospheric, ambient elements. As always, the band follows NO trends and carve out a path all their own with a sound that is natural & refreshing. The band progresses from what they did on their previous album “Dreaming Yuggoth” even further to cultivate an eclectic sound more cohesive and devastating. Mainstay vocalist M delivers his distinct rasp & growls with the combination of Joe Fogarazzo (Rigor Sardonicous) on guitars/bass, Don Zaros (Evoken, Marshmallow Bunnies) on keyboards and Matt Hass (Reluctant Mortem) on drums to deliver organic, character driven instrumentals that form a line-up which gels so seamlessly.

The band exists in a void where few others will enter. For the first time in the band's history, the line-up has stayed the same for consecutive album releases and shows why they are one of the longest surviving, darkest cults the Long Island, NY scene has to offer!

The feedback to the last album alone, shows that the underground is hungry for something new and not just the same old rehash that seems to plague most of the scene. This new offering needs to be heard!

THE BAND IS TOO EXTREME FOR THE UNDERGROUND!

Dimentianon was created in January of 2002 after the original name “The Forgotten” from ‘95 was abandoned. The lineup included the original members, vocalist, M, and M. Weisbaum (drums), and current members at the time J. Mroz (bass), G. Layman (guitar), and J. Fogarazzo (guitar). The goal was to continue with their unique mixture of chaotic BlackDeath and Doom metal music.

They started to work on material and in the summer of 2002, put out a three-song rehearsal promo for their new album. During this time M. Weisbaum departed to pursue other interests after finishing the “Seven Suicides” recording which was released on Paragon Records in 2003. The band then acquired drummer R. Bohlman (Embracing Carpathian Mourning) whose debut show with the band was opening for Arch Enemy in August 2003. Throughout the year, the band played high profile shows with such acts as Enslaved, Hate Eternal, Incantation, Kreator, Destruction, Cannibal Corpse, and Dying Fetus.

After the third full length CD “Hosannas Novas Ordo Seclurum” and the split CD with Rigor Sardonicous, J. Fogarazzo (guitar) left the band to pursue outside interests and keep full time with Rigor Sardonicous. Some months later, J. Mroz (bass) followed as well as R. Bohlman (drums) to pursue solo projects. The live promo is the last live show that both Ryan and Jim performed.

All three former members were replaced. Zoltan Valter, former member of Frost from Hungary (lead guitar), Maureen Murphy (bass) who also played with “The Forgotten”, and Pete Christopher (drums) rounded out the new line up. In early 2010 the band parted ways with G. Layman.

Dimentianon would record “Collapse the Void” with this line-up and release it in late 2010 on Paragon Records. The Album was well received by the underground and at a later point it was released on cassette by Night Birds Records [Ukraine] and co -released with Paragon Records and Nuclear War Now! Productions on LP!

Again, line-up problems plagued the band with only M (vocals) remaining working with various members/line ups for the next 9 years. In 2019 the line-up came together strong once again with new and returning members. The current line-up is Matt Hass [drums], Don Zaros [keyboards] a member of Evoken, and Joe Fogarazzo returning to the band on guitar/bass.

Once this line-up was solidified the band really got moving and finally recorded what you now have in your hands our new and 5th album “Dreaming Yuggoth”. The band feels it delivers one of their most diverse recordings to date while still retaining the foundation of the band's roots.

With their new album Dimentianon takes their eclectic style a step further with additional twists and turns to challenge the listener. Chapter VI strategically takes elements from many metal and non-metal genres and weaves them into a clever whole that will satisfy the listener who craves more from their music. Dimentianon challenges you to take the ride and experience a Burning Rebirth!
