Lunadon, Dion - Beyond Everything [CD]

After releasing his self-titled debut album in 2017, Dion Lunadon (The D4, ex-A Place To Bury Strangers) and In The Red Records is proud to release his sophomore album, Beyond Everything. Beyond Everything will be Lunadon's first release on In The Red (an ideal match for his music), as well as his first full-length since departing A Place To Bury Strangers. Written, performed and recorded by himself, the songs tap into a raw, palpable energy that blur the line between the music and the person. Drums on the record were played by Blaze Bateh (Bambara) and Nick Ferrante (The Black Hollies).Lunadon says; "The record was written and recorded sporadically between 2017 and 2019. I probably wrote about one hundred songs during this period. The first album was pretty relentless which I liked, but I wanted to make something more dynamic for the second record. Something that could be more conducive to repeated listens. I'd get in my studio, come up with a song title, and start working on any ideas that I had. For example, with 'Elastic Diagnostic,' the idea was to create a hum that evokes the sound of life coursing through your body. Everything else kind of formed around that idea.""An arresting, noise-infected dose of psych-garage." on "It's The Truth"-Brooklyn Vegan "An amped up garage psych ripper." on "Living And Dying With You"-Brooklyn Vegan "A ferocious rocker." on "Living And Dying With You"-Destroy Exist "A gritty and raw glam-like anthem centered around chugging power chords, Lunadon's howled and desperate delivery, forceful and propulsive drumming paired with an explosive feedback-driven coda, 'It's The Truth' further cements the Kiwi-born, Brooklyn-based artist's reputation for crafting anthems meant to be played as loud as humanly possible." -Joy Of Violent Movement
