The album Dush (released only in digital version in August 2014) was
recorded at The Grid and co-produced by Christian Donaldson
(Cryptopsy). Notable acts such as The Agonist and Catalyst hail their
music from the same location/producer. Christian also laid guitar and
bass on the tracks of Dush.
Currently the two original members of Dush (Mira Solo and Den Hagalaz)
are working on producing an EP of some of their older songs with an EBM
artist (Left Side Neighbour).
A new musical realm is rising on the complex map of modern aggressive
music. Staking out new ground amid the countless categories of metal,
the sound of bronze—intimate yet epic, fierce yet beautiful—has arrived.
Its heralds are the two musical adventurers—the Queen, her Wizard and
her Warrior—at the heart of Montreal’s Dush...
The term “bronze” is ideally suited to Dush. Brighter and warmer in
appearance than most ordinary metals, bronze is an alloy, a fusion of
copper with one or more other, non-metal elements. Likewise, Dush temper
their basis in the focus and ferocity of heavy metal and industrial
music with components from outside the parameters of the genres—consider
the pop inflections in the chorus of “Circles” or the enveloping,
mesmerizing mysticism of “Numb.” Moreover, among the physical properties
of bronze is its resistance to rust, reflected in the timelessness of
their sound.
Paradoxically, Dush are absolutely up the minute in their approach to aggressive music, yet at the same time, they draw on melodies and atmospherics that evoke ancient truths, summoning to mind the Bronze Age and the mysteries of the cradle of civilization.
