DIMENTIA There's something powerful coming from Winnipeg, Manitoba, and that power is Dimentia. Since 1990, they've been sculpting their sound and are ready to unleash their power on anyone who has a hungry appetite for something heavy and genuine. They've stayed in Winnipeg for the past few years gigging around the city and doing the 9 to 5 thing. In 1996, they completed their first full length cd entitled Affliction and are itching to play their in your face style to everyone. Their music is described as the crunch sound, but even that is using a mild term. Dimentia's sound is driven by the pounding double bass drum patterns of Adam Valeri, the deafening power riffs and driving vocals of Pino Valeri, the rock solid low end bass lines of Shawn, and the blistering yet intricate guitar solos of Jeff Park. The diversity of this 10 track monster is obvious simply in the listening of it. Feel the power immediately from the first track "Scream" and even more on the second track "On and On". You can wallow aimlessly to cuts like "Sorrow" one minute, and shiver to the mellow yet disturbing sounds of "Mercy" the next. Finally, You will be crushed by the 100mph attack of "Awake". With such a flow from beginning to end of this dynamic album, the band is anxious to tour and expose everyone to their hard edge style. They have already started to promote themselves with their poster and an upcoming video for the first single "Scream". They hope to tour across Canada and the U.S. in '99, so keep an eye out and an ear open. This is not a band that follows any trends or is dictated by the main stream in any way. "We try not to preach to anyone, we simply want to let the people hear what they have been waiting the hear - - - THE TRUTH."
