From the debut album “Dim World” in 2009, DIMINISHED 7 has been consistently releasing music independently for their ever-growing dark hearted fan base. Categorized as “gothic metal” or “love metal” the band has taken a new direction for their latest effort “B.A.T.S.” to be released in late 2015.
“I follow my inner sonic vision as much as possible and try not to conform to one genre. A lot of fans were shocked when the second album “Hollow Haven” was released as a full acoustic performance.” -Alex Crescioni
The band released their second full length acoustic album “Hollow Haven” in 2012 which contains ten tracks of acoustic guitar, piano, atmospheric synths, and vocals. Kicking it up a notch “Velvet Caress” was released in 2013 as a melodic/gothic rock single exclusively as a digital download. It was engineered and produced by Alex Crescioni, mixed by Tim Palmer at ’62 Studios, and mastered by Justin Shturtz at Sterling Sound. 2014 brought “The Regal Chapters”, an epic gothic metal soundscape with songs transitioning and intertwined together similar to a movie score, beginning with a soft crooning piano piece “When The Heart Consumes The Soul” and ending with an epic doom metal track “(S)unraveling.”
The new EP “B.A.T.S.” is currently in the production phase with engineering, producing, and mixing duties taken on by Alex Crescioni at his personal studio Stygian Sound. An outside mastering engineer will be chosen for the release. The record contains four tracks of epic doom metal with black and death metal influences. Soaring vocal melodies, growling guitar tones, roaring bass, thunderous drums, and haunting orchestral choirs and instruments will encompass this record.
“This is the record I was always meant to make. All of my influences shine through and I’ve finally found my true sound. I hope all the fans will be accepting of the new music.” -Alex Crescioni
