Post by: Black Shepherd Carnage on December 02, 2021, 09:48:21 AM
First track, "Think God Out Of Existence", from Dionysiaque's up and coming second demo.

HUGE! An absolutely epic tune.

Edit: see further down for album preview.

Savage! I was only thinking it would be great to hear something new from them.

All four tracks now online:

Loving it. The cover (of some French folk song from the 60s, if I've understood correctly) is class too. With the contacts they seem to have, really hope someone offers them the chance to make an album asap.

These crusty drunken Gauls are entering the studio to record their first album next week, actually with a mate of mine whose studio is down this neck of the French woods.

Cool. The second demo didn't quite grab me like the first one. I hope the album returns to the cleaner vocal style.

Listening to the second demo here again. Musically it's cool but I find it a bit disappointing that the singer went for a more aggressive singing style than on the debut. His vocals are so distinctive, particularly his cleans, so I'm hoping the album has more of that side of his talents on display.

Just announced their upcoming first album is being released by I, Voidhanger Records. Not too shabby at all!

The second demo didn't grab me in the same way as the first. The vocals had a more hardcore and less melodic style. I hope the album has more singing because his vocals are really unique.

Great tunes. Very unique vocals and all for it. Never bothered with them before but will have to give the demos a listen.

Just giving these new tracks a proper headphones listen now. Quality. And yeah, the other-worldliness of the vocals is class, especially with the whole drunken mythological aesthetic.

His vocals are great, yeah. I think the last one was so aggressive a lot of that uniqueness and the mystical edge, so to speak, was lost. Sounds much more interesting again without just being a complete revert to the first demo sound.

The vocals are not good at all.

While a better vocal might have made it more generic overall indeed, the vocal that did make the cut is fucking awful.

And I mean awful. How the fuck did that get past anyone

vocals sound great imo, really refreshing and on a cracking first track (Evohe).

I get that they're different and all but it's an awful sound and I'm in no way adverse to a few bandy vocals

Your taste is... incorrect.

Sorry, averse I should have said.

"Blower of the Blossoming Horn"??Is there a slide trombone on this as well?
Title: Re: Dionysiaque - Diogonos
Post by: Black Shepherd Carnage on March 16, 2024, 11:44:39 PM
Really loving this. The whole theatrical representation of a paralytic drunk Greek god kind of schtick they've got going on is very moreish. Guinness and smoke helping no doubt.

I'll have to grab a CD. The two songs I've heard sound promising. Not as immediate as the demo which might just remain unsurpassed for me, but plenty to get the teeth into.

Just back from a gig of these lads. Ears ringing, pissed, but it was absolutely class.

I imagine it was total energy overload. Must grab the album when I get home.

Vinyl unfortunately still not shipped though. I've mine on pre-order but they haven't even gotten their own copies for sale at gigs yet.
