Тhe Dutch atmospheric black metal band Dystopia reveals the first details of their forthcoming fifth full-length album, “De Verboden Diepte II: De Weg van de Meeste Weerstand” , to be released on March 27th via Immortal Frost Productions, coming in various physical formats. All music was written and performed by Dennis Onsia & Dystopia. The lyrics & the concept were crafted by Cees de Wit. The album was recorded at E-Sound Studio by Thomas Cochrane, mixed at TC music productions by Thomas Cochrane and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. The cover artwork painting was created by Ronarg.

DYSTOPIA bring their own interpretation of black metal. Personal, creative, stubborn and raw. With respect and awe for the genre, but with a strong natural drive to find its musical boundaries and to challenge them.

Since its inception in 2005, DYSTOPIA has experimented with several styles of expression. In 2015 it found its mature form, with the addition of brass instruments. This inspired much more creative freedom which led to black metal that incorporates psychedelic, doom and said brass instruments. The mindset in which music comes first and tropes come second, grew along with the sound. In 2020 the switch came that brought Dutch lyrics, to stay as authentic to their core emotions and experiences as possible.

The lyrical concepts are always personal and philosophical. Emotional and pondering. One of the main themes being the question of the existence of free will. The battle of determinism versus self-determination. DYSTOPIA likes to revel in the darkness and turmoil of existential dread, with a touch of beauty and ephemeral feeling of might.
