I welcome you all into a wonderful world of depression.
Dysthymian is, once again, a one-man band; in this case, we have a man named, funny enough if you ask me, Somber! Swedish Depressive Black Metal is offered here on this independent release, which you can easily listen to and obtain through Dysthymian’s Bandcamp page. Six tracks full of dark, depressive songs and one cold instrumental make up the album. If you pay proper attention to the guitar riffs, you will hear Burzum-esque patterns, but to my taste, it doesn’t come close to the impact or atmosphere that Burzum has.
In the past, I used to listen to a lot of Suicidal-Style Black Metal, but lately I find most works in this style to be more or less the same; just another face in the crowd. Sweden is infamous for music in general, but when it comes to music created from depression itself, I believe they take the crown.
Dysthymian, with their first and only full-length album, reaches out to all of us, spewing poisonous and fair amounts of tears, screams, sweat, and a kind of chronic depression.
Enjoy or die in total silence…
