Slava Productions, in conspiracy with Georgian label Satanath Records as well as Chilean labels Australis Records and Tragedy Productions, is proud to present the long-awaited third full-length opus from Sri Lanka’s black metal horde Dhishti. This time offering a cathartic and stirring iteration of atmospheric/depressive black metal. Consisting of 7 tracks a decade in the making, “Life is Suffering” sees this Sri Lankan outfit explore the ancient belief in demonic possession as the cause of mental illness, and the occultist rituals of their oceanic island homeland in treating the afflicted. Musically they combine a striking melodic character with driving, mid-paced momentum, reaching for a work that is both aggressive and nuanced. Dhishti mesh their direct black metal tracts with elements of Sri Lankan folk music and traditions, creating a sense of arcane mysticism, marking this out as both a richly composed work with many subtle layers of emotive intent. The black metal elements reach for the high melodicism of Dissection, the fury of early Marduk, and the self-assured frigidity of the classic Norwegian acts. Performed, arranged and written with a degree of variety, consistency and above all artistry, Dhishti evince a lyrical melodic character alongside a simple but creative rhythmic flow that immediately sets “Life is Suffering” apart from recent comparable releases.
Available now on limited edition CD with pit-art in classic jewel case with 8-page booklet. This album is highly recommended for all true enthusiasts who are constantly on the look for obscure but quality underground black metal releases. So claim your copy right now before it’s too late!
