Dark Years From Now: Pre-Order the new album ‘Cringe Demon’ out July 4th!!

Can the artistic aggression of DYFN be kept in check? It’s very doubtful! On ‘Cringe Demon’ listeners may feel themselves being goaded past their brink of mental no return as confrontational excess keeps building until it scales on up towards dizzying peaks of aural sadism; a summit for the fellow shadow selves amongst us. Ten ton industrial strength beats hammer messages home with the innovative brutality forged in passionate vengeance resembling twelve relentless incidents of demonic conjuring. DYFN is a big believer in diversity, diversifying the sonic violence that is, as extreme guitar alchemy spews out effortless dissonant agitations while tweaked out electronic drums with grungy synths throb underneath cancerous vocal retching. Lyrical gang-bangs punch down at all the ‘safe for work metal’ that has you cringing at the wimpy musical choices of others yet at the same time each track displays an artful sophistication or beauty within the ugliness. Yes, many of these brutal diatribes are quite tuneful if you can get past the seething innuendo and break neck tempo settings. 

The metaphysical bludgeoning touches all sacred corners of heaviness whether it’s the foreboding raw industrial tracks ‘Delete Jesus’ or ‘Fuck Face’, the iron melting technical death metal witnessed on ‘Killing The American’ and ‘Taken Away’ or the jarring groove metal of ‘Straw Man’ all the way to the nu-metal posturing of ‘Lay An Egg’ and ‘FAFO’. There is even enough time for some hard techno meets black metal on the synth dominator ‘Pure Wrath’. As the solemn trek comes to a close with the two part dark ambient suite ‘Let the Venom Spread’ you will understand that the cringe demon has been expecting you.
