With their debut release on Year of the Sun Records, Dear Black Diary offers up an extremely dark and unique six track collection of metal. Made up of equal parts melody and chaos, this self titled piece of grind isn’t for the weak or wounded. It’ll touch a variety of nerved endings once it flies down your cranium. Produced by Scott Sherar and the band themselves, songs like “Life is the Number One Cause of Death” and “Floating Face Down” display an EP infused with technical brutality and subtle emotion. In short, it’ll trash your senses.

“Their secret lies in their ability to keep the songs flowing, combining technicalities with crushing breakdowns and piercing pterodactyl vocals that are nothing short of ear shattering. The songwriting itself is along the lines of bands like Daughters but catering to the more metal minded of people. Extremely impressive for a debut, Dear Black Diary is definitely worth checking out.” Exclaim! Sept 2006
