Founded by multi-instrumentalist Alex Haddad, Dessiderium is bound to trigger interest manifesting a striking expansive sonic vision on the new ambitious full length “Aria”.
The luminous guitar tonalities and the peaceful atmospheric textures of “White Morning In A World She Knows” create a fascinating melodic palette while the acrobatic guitar work follows a familiar prog metal pathway and the resulting twisted rhythmic patterns ultimately lead to a quasi chaotic finale expressing tumultuous feelings.
The title track instantly showcases an aggressive approach as the relentless crunchy guitar riffs and the convoluted leads generate a heavier momentum certainly amplified by the ravenous growls yet a radiant atmospheric aura and the warm melodic passages can convey uplifting feelings.
On “Moon Lust Delirium” a monumental blackened flair leads to unrestrained blast beats constantly fueled by the frantic drumming and the harsh riffage in contrast with the scattered shimmering atmospheric accents.
“The Persecution Complex” still offers elaborate heavy prog moments highlighting a dazzling technical approach but the sophisticated guitar work tends to focus on the creation of elegant melodic progressions floating through brighter multilayered atmospheric tapestries accompanied by soothing vocal harmonies.
To create the shape-shifting soundscapes of “Aria” Alex has chosen a multifaceted songwriting approach blending complex progressive dynamics and hints of raw extreme metal influences enhanced by an impressive musicianship.
