Dimaeon

Dimaeon consists of the guitar duo Rembert Breidenbach & Sybren Boonstra, bassist Philippus Yntema, drummer Danny Boonstra and vocalist Nicky Sriamin. Their music can be described as a mixture of Progressive-, Doom- and Death Metal with a flourish of 70’s Progressive Rock thrown in. The band was formed in the autumn of 2002 and it was immediately clear that the band wanted to combine their love for these genres to create a style of their own.

The band developed this style by taking to the Dutch stages and releasing three EP’s in their formative years. The band has had the honour to share the stage with big acts such as Epica, God Dethroned, Evergrey, Andromeda and Between The Buried And Me, showing their skill and gaining new fans with each played gig. It was however with the release of Exit Reality in 2010, that the band cemented their direction and found the focus they were looking for. Relentless metallic onslaught was combined with ambient, quiet and sometimes even jazzy instrumental interplay. On top of the intricate instrumental work, deep grunts, high screams and mournful melodic voices told stories of days of old and the footprint humanity has left on the earth’s soil. All this was featured in just three songs on this EP. The tone was set immediately and they inked a deal with Layered Reality Productions. This also gave them the opportunity to record a live show for a DVD which was released in the BTL2012 package. The band also took part in a vinyl release called the Frisian Metal Massacre, which showcased their track Terra, receiving critical acclaim in the process.
