About Me
DIRGE formed in March of 2007 by founding members Shaun Glass, Jimmy Knight, and Jeremy "Jerms" Genske. With the additions of Paz, and Matt Szlachta to follow in late April 2007. Immediately DIRGE recorded the 3 song demo including the songs "Forever the Martyr" "Complacency Strain" and "Ties That Bind" at Mercenary Studios in Zion, IL. (Engineered by Scott Creekmore). The demo was mixed and mastered by James Murphy (Testament/Death) at Safehouse Productions.
In June of 2007 DIRGE played their first show in Milwaukee, WI.
In November of 2007 DIRGE became a member of the Jagermeister Music family. Soon after, DIRGE had also become endorsed by: ESP Guitars, Washburn Guitars, Randall Amplification, Line 6, EMG Electronics, Dunlop, Samson Wireless Systems, Draven Shoes, Warlord Clothing, SRH Clothing, and Ed Stone clothing.
DIRGE's "Forever the Martyr" was placed in permanent rotation on Sirius Satellite Radio's Channel 27 "Hard Attack".
Early 2008 brought DIRGE back into the studio to record another song with Engineer Chris Djuricic at Studio One (Racine, WI). "The Last Goodbye" was recorded, with the mixing and mastering by James Murphy (Safehouse Productions).
In April of 2008 DIRGE teamed up with Justin Arcangel of Dark Angel Management. As well as obtaining International Booking by Paul Ryan of The Agency Group.
On July 28th, 2008 DIRGE released a one minute snippet of a new track, called "Confession". Once again, the song was engineered by Chris Dhuricic at his studio, Studio One. However, this time they took a new step and enlisted the skill of Edsel Dope (Dope) to produce the track. "Confession is just a taste of what's to come in 2009!" "Confession" was mixed and mastered by James Murphy at Safehouse Productions.
DIRGE has so far played shows alongside acts such as God Forbid, Nile, Death Angel and Prong. DIRGE was proud to be part of the June Jagermeister Music Tour dates with Hatebreed, Type O Negative, and 3 Inches of Blood. As well as the July Jagermeister Music Tour dates with Dope & Kittie
