Description
Two years after ending a career rich of seven albums, one EP and a handful of demo tapes, DIRGE
finally unfolds its final testimony, VANISHING POINT. A retrospective collection of unreleased tracks and rarities that traces the sonic evolution of the band, from the original mid 90s industrial rusts to the granitic post-metal of its epilogue Lost Empyrean in 2018, through the progressive monoliths of the 2000s. The chronological order helps contextualize each song in its time, as well as putting it in the band’s own history. Thus, the 15 non-album tracks which constitute the corpus of VANISHING POINT revisit every period, every record, every line-up through previously unpublished material (albums outtakes, special recordings, remixes) and hard-to-find pieces (demos, bonus tracks, compilation appearances).
In addition to this extensive compendium (complemented with two exclusive reinterpretations by Kill The Thrill and Treha Sektori) comes Spiraling Skywards, a performance captured in Paris in 2005, first and sole live document in DIRGE’s discography.
