Life is Suffering

by Dhishti

supported by

skint_86 I am a big fan of bands incorporating aspects of their heritage or culture into their music and Dhishti do this as well as any. The songwriting is engaging and well produced. I had not thought to look for a DSBM band from this region but what a great surprise and any fan of the style would be doing themselves a disservice by overlooking this.

about

The album speaks about beliefs, rituals and prophecies that are still to this date followed by certain groups of people…. The album’s lyrics are written in an older form of the native language, which originated over 2000 years ago. The language was explicitly selected because these rituals were originally carried out in the language of Sinhala, and translating it into any other language would take away its originality and authenticity.”

Decent debut from a promising band. For the most part a gnarly hybrid of Autopsy and Entombed, with a lot of good ideas and some fun atmospheric ambient sections. The last track sticks around far too long, but that's the only downer really. Well worth checking out for a good blast of new-old-school. Looking forward to the next release for sure! poisonremedy
