In the current climate of scenes, stereotypes and conformity choking the very life out of American music, D.I.M. is a much-needed breath of fresh air. Formed in January of 2006, D.I.M. came out of the gate writing genre-busting brutality comprised of odd time signatures, diverse song structures and much-needed creativity. Intense, unapologetically heavy and random-yet memorable, the sound generated a solid buzz before they even took it outside their studio walls, debuting alongside worldwide death metal heroes Unleashed, Krisiun and Belphegor at Station 4 in St. Paul.Unlike so many bands that claim a diverse array of heavy influences, D.I.M. actually puts their money where their mouth is. Equally at home playing alongside hardcore bands, death metal bands, alt metal bands, stoner/doom metal bands and (insert label of your choice here) metal bands, D.I.M. reaches out to fans of all types of brutality with a universal message conveyed not by their own statements, but by the music itself. An approach that may be considered out of place in today's compartmentalized music industry, but then again D.I.M. has just as little regard for industry points as they do scene points.Interestingly enough, D.I.M. has acquired several fans who don't usually listen to heavy music-without compromising the brutality of their sound-due to their unique sense of musicianship and songwriting, along with the contagious ferocity of their live performances.D.I.M. has scrapped their plans to release a 5-song e.p. They are now in the process locating a replacement drummer. Once this is complete, they intend to re-record the five songs along with new ones and issue a full-length album. No release date had been set yet. Once the album is finished and released D.I.M. will begin gigging often in and around the midwest, with scattered random D.I.Y. tours of North and South America...and possibly even overseas.
D.I.M. has no illusions of acceptance by the mainstream music industry-and this suits them just fine. For D.I.M., it will be the quality-not quantity-of records sold that will determine success. D.I.M. is proudly rooted in the metal community but does not, and will not, sound like any other metal band-nor will they engage in the all-to-common practice of snobbery toward those whose dress, mannerisms and c.d. collections differ from theirs. D.I.M. does not wish to isolate themselves from ANY creative endeavors, no matter how different or strange. D.I.M. is about a love for music, particularly heavy music of all styles. D.I.M. does not limit itself to one lyrical subject or theme. This is not a show-This is art. D.I.M. has worked, suffered and remained steadfast for their art and now, D.I.M. is about to share their art with you-ready or not.
D.I.M. is currently seeking independent/D.I.Y. labels and promoters for mutually beneficial arrangements...and fans who appreciate diversity and creativity in heavy music.
