(Independent Release)
First impressions are everything for me and the debut release, ' Worth Living For' by the Los Angeles based heavy rock/metal duo, Dianthus hit me like a sledgehammer! Formed by twin sisters Jackie on vocals and guitar and Jessica Parry on backing vocals and percussion. Their music is both epic in scope and ethereal in tone. There is a very accessible feel to the album and it shows mostly in the solid production from start to finish; no track gets left behind. The songwriting is deceptive, seeming to be less complicated than it really is. There is a constant flow of creativity. Highlighted by such tracks like, "Within Hazel Eyes", "Please Say (You're Pretending)", "When The World Says 'Give Up'" and the hauntingly vibe of "The Unveiling" and "Black Snow", showcasing Jackie Parry's vocals. As for the rest of the album, there is not one weak track here, each one containing something to enthrall and coax the listener into a state of willful addiction. It is a very haunting sound, mixed with explosive, crunching riffs and atmospheric vocals. Blended all together to provide for one memorable listening experience. 'Worth Living For'' has amazing depth, both musically and emotionally. It's one of the coolest sounds I've ever heard, and it's on the cutting edge of melodic metal and it's previous boundaries. Not many, if any bands are as daring as Dianthus with their sound, and it's a wonderful listen from start to finish. Personally, I can't wait to hear what they come up with next. Huge things are definitely in store for Dianthus. - Tony @ The Dedicated Rocker Society
