Edit history

DMEA's music was born from the distilled tears of jokes that were too serious for laughter. The central character in these songs of emotional disintegration is Leith Carnie (Shit House Elves, Mekigah, t.k. bollinger and that sinking feeling). Hailing from Sydney’s Blue Mountains, he crafts songs, like surgery, that cut into the tumor of traumatic emotions. For much of the time of this album’s conception and birth, Leith was homeless and living on the kindness of friends. Travelling with his laptop, instruments, mics and memories he has managed to create a suite of post-industrial ambient metal that is a testament to the redemptive power of song and it’s ability to transform despair into new found strength. With a tip of the hat to the aura of such dark luminaries as VAST, Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle, but in no way imitating their sound, this album opens new ground on the fringes of the fields where life’s darkness reaps a sad beauty.
