DEDICTED
"Very nice going. On the album front, "Argonauts" is a grinding and tantalizing look into this bands impressive repetoire, and not content to sound like ever other band out there, Dedicted play how they want and sound truly superb. The vocals are aggressive, the riff-age sporadic but masterful, and the drumming and bass play is sturdy and packs great rhythm". (Quote from an underground magazine)
Dedicted- "Argonauts". The album title refers to the heroes in Greek mythology who set off on an epic journey on the ‘Argo’. At the same time, it refers to the ‘Ship of Fools’ which is thought to have been sailing the waters of Europe at the end of the Middle Ages, carrying madmen away from the cities which could not longer deal with them. Listening to this album will let you experience both journeys at the same time: progressive riffs feeling as if the vessel is caught by a heavy storm in the midst of the ocean, swivelling from left to right and up and down, accompanied with thunderous vocals; choruses sounding like the eye of the storm and breaks announcing the tempest’s second strike. With this album Dedicted is ready to set off on their journey to bring their metal madness to the mad hordes of metal across the globe. Look out for Dedicted anchoring in your town!
Formed in 1999, Dedicted is not a new name on the Belgian metal scene but the band was only signed in 2008 by Shiver Records, the label par excellence for promising bands on the Belgian underground scene. Dedicted has already released two demos under their own steam, but the band’s deal with Shiver Records and the debut album ‘Argonauts’ have definitely taken their career to the next level. The band combines a death/ thrash/ polyrythmic-based style with groovy guitars and aggressive melodies and they are ready to set off!! So keep your eyes open for Dedicted in 2009- The journey has just began!
For fans of Textures, Gojira, Strapping Young Lad, Meshuggah & In Flames.
