DIMESLAND is comprised of members of
Oakland-based blackened/progressive metal band Wild Hunt as well as mysterious
noise/rock outfit The Residents. Based on a strong interest in tension,
mutation and fracture, in evidence not only harmonically and rhythmically but also
within blurred tales of psychological havoc, the band's debut EP Creepmoon was
released by Vendlus Records in February. The band's live shows are frantic and
dense and feature songs woven together with shorter pieces and soundscapes for
an almost nonstop presentation of sound.
Stream the Creepmoon EP in its entirety RIGHT HERE.
Promos of Creepmoon as well as interviews
with DIMESLAND via phone, email or in-person along the pending
tour are available via the Earsplit Compound.
"...their sound incorporates elements of thrash,
progressive, sludge, and ambient while refusing to stay within the boundaries
of any of them... their approach is a collective that's as neurotic as it is
psychotic, and that's something many of us in the metal world are encouraged
by." - Metal Review
"Creepmoon displays an easy but nasty mastery of the
metal and hard rock riff, as well as a trust in their chops to stray beyond
those limitations, sometimes way beyond." - Music Emissions
"Sci-fi thrashing avant metal that will get your
blood racing with the very creative way the noise and blur of sounds and layers
are presented. I hope to hear more from this band soon.” - Absolute Zero Media
"Enter Dimesland, a progressive band who explore the
darker and more aggressive possibilities for expression in the world of metal
music. And on this EP, which is entitled Creepmoon, they make no buts about
their approach to music." - Sea of Tranquility
"Dimesland make their very own brand of jarring
racket. The contrast between barbed riffs and melancholy sound manipulation
plays beautifully.." - Chronicles of Chaos
