DIMMA is the brainchild of brothers Ingo & Silli Geirdal who founded the band in 2004 from the ruins of their old band Stripshow.
Stripshow released their first and only album in 1996; a rock-opera called Late-Nite Cult Show which was later released in Japan and South Korea and subsequently banned by the Korean government for its anti-social lyrics and image.
This achievement brought the band a certain infamy which reached the ears of original Alice Cooper bandmembers Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith & Michael Bruce who invited the Geirdal brothers to play with them at various concerts and events across the USA. This lead to Ingo & Silli producing and playing with Michael Bruce on two albums which were distributed internationally.
This in turn lead Ingo to joining acknowledged hip-hop metal masters Quarashi for their U.S. and Japanese tours of 2004 and playing on their new album Guerilla Disco released by Sony in Japan 2005.
Having laid down some bed tracks in the studio with drummer Bjarki Magnusson (Stripshow) the brothers invited their drinking buddy Hjalti Omar (Brain Police & Urmull) to sing along with them in the studio and upon hearing the results it was clear that a rock monster had been created -and its name was DIMMA!
The Icelandic band name was inspired by the bands heavy rock music which is at times dark, exotic and draws some inspiration from old Icelandic folk music.
Lately, the members of DIMMA have been busy in the studio putting the finishing touches on their self-produced second album which will be released in Iceland in the fall,
