DIRGE is a 5 piece Doom/Sludge/Post metal band from Mumbai, India
Using their time post-pandemic to write and record a follow-up to 2018’s Ah Puch, the band’s
forthcoming self-titled album finds the quintet taking a sonic journey of discovery.
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. Taking the listener on a journey of self-actualisation through this album, it creates 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.
