Deadpanist This album separates mere foolish wannabes and trendsetters from classics and immortals. It is the pinnacle of finding its unique sound in a proven plethora of genres and recipes. A dose of well-tempered and melancholic BM subjected to a right dosage of reverberation. Brilliant drumming, exquisite staccato guitar riffs. Bravo messieurs.

Jordan Vauvert Avec Conceptarium, Dysylumn partait d'une idée simple : mettre en valeur un style proprement black metal dans son black metal cosmique.
Le deuxième album Occultation, c'est la recherche d'un nouvel équilibre : Camille Olivier Faure-Brac tempère et nuance son jeu à la batterie pour laisser plus de place aux riffs discordants de Sébastien Besson. Dysylumn accède enfin à la dimension du black metal atmosphérique occulte.

Un petit pas pour Dysylumn, un bond de géant dans les abysses spatiales... Favorite track: Allégorie du Temps.

Fraz Dysylumn have become one of my favourite bands. I'm listening to these guys pretty much every day right now. This album is absolute black metal fire. It's ritualistic, it's got elements of dissonance, ambient moments. It takes you on a journey. I get swept up into the music and I'm gone. Don't think it's not got riffs and drums, and killer vocals. It's got it all. This is it.

about

SIGNAL REX is proud to present DYSYLUMN's monolithic second album, Occultation, on vinyl LP format.

Originally released during the autumn of 2018, DYSYLUMN's Occultation took this French duo to the precipice of the abyss - and they dove fully in. While the overt characteristics of French black metal - the robustness of the orthodox/religious school, the melancholy of its more lonerist school - are fully represented here, on Occultation did DYSYLUMN recast them in vivid new iterations. Gutted bass throb, swirling ether of guitar, tortured throat that seamlessly blends into and out of both...there's a certain sulfurous magick at work across this 51-minute album. One could easily qualify it as "hypnotic," except DYSYLUMN's overt physicality safely evades the usually defeatist tendencies of so much "depressive" black metal, instead poking and prodding and finally pushing the body and then mind with endlessly undulating waves and weaves of obsidian sound. The sum effect is spellbinding, simply stunning the senses in a way few nowadays extreme metal records can - and doing it in an eerily tuneful manner, to boot.

Not for nothing have some called Occultation something of a modern classic: its breadth of vision is firmly rooted in black metal's noblest traditions, but more so aims for the hinterlands of creativity and experience. SIGNAL REX is thrilled to be granting this staggering work its first-ever vinyl release, and will be working with DYSYLUMN for their forthcoming third album, due for release later this autumn.
