Dirge is set to release their new self-titled album in early 2023 and is now streaming the crushing new single "Condemned." Clocking in at over nine minutes, Dirge spares no lives with this steamrolling riffs and distant, tortured screams.
"The album is an attempt to evoke emotions that lie at the core of discomfort," said bassist Harshad Bhagwat. "The soundscapes have been designed to suit the ethos of each song and the lyrics are inspired from real life experiences of anger, guilt, sorrow, and fear. We want to take the listener on a journey of self-actualisation through this album, as our aim is to create a sense of catharsis through the experience."
Dirge was produced by the band and long-time associate Apurv Agrawal (Pacifist, Cowboy & Sailor Man, Honey's Dead) who also added synths to the album, it has been mixed by Sanford Parker (Yob, Pelican, Eyehategod) and mastered by Brad Boatright of Audiosiege (Sleep, Neurosis). Pre-orders will be available soon.
