newt I can't really pick a favourite track, because all four tracks make such a perfect whole. Really majestic, elegant and raw at the same time. Really masterful.

Album_Hunters I was drawn in by the artwork and hooked by the concept: four circles of crises. Subtle sample/tone changes from song to song elevate an otherwise decent post-metal album to greatness. re-listenable and meditative, it is a gem from a burgeoning doom scene in South Asia.

4.25/5 Arrowheads.

Favorite track: CONDEMNED.

Colin M. Dirge's debut "Ah Puch" was great. Somehow they've topped that effort in every way. This is really damn good. Favorite track: GRIEF.

Darknight A new album from Dirge is the crushing equivalent of a mechanical car crusher being played through the speakers, doomy sludgetastic post metal masterpiece conveyed over four heavy tracks. Do not let this record pass you by, it's a must in anyone's metal collection and may become my fave album of 2023. Favorite track: CONDEMNED.

El Negro This album kick ass in many different ways. The heaviness of death/doom fit perfect together with the post rock parts and psychedelic elements. Sure one of the best releases 2023 Favorite track: GRIEF.

about

"The Rings of Crises"

The album is a compilation of crises, in different forms. It is an attempt to evoke emotions which lie at the core of discomfort. The four songs are representative of the causes of pain. The soundscapes have been designed to suit the ethos of each song & the lyrics are inspired from real life experiences of anger, guilt, sorrow, and fear. We want to take the listener on a journey of self-actualisation through this album, as our aim is to create a sense of catharsis through the experience of the four songs. The album artwork – “The rings of crises” is a metaphor for this very listening experience. The three layers represent the first three songs on the album and depict the imagery contained within it. In the centre is an empty void, representing the fourth song.

Using their time post-pandemic to write and record a follow-up to 2018’s Ah Puch, the band’s forthcoming self-titled album scheduled for release in March 2023 on Immersive Sounds– finds the quintet taking a sonic journey of discovery. Offering up a truly devastating and personal statement, particularly when compared to the wide-sweeping vistas of Mayan myths and South American jungles of their debut, Dirge looks inward while simultaneously reflecting our world at large.

The band’s new self-titled album ‘Dirge’ will be a 43 minute long album consisting of 4 tracks. Sonically it's a unique blend of doom, sludge, post-metal, psychedelic rock, contemporary doom and the likes, which the band believes makes for their best effort yet
