Following the recent release of their highly anticipated debut EP »Esmee« via Octopus Rising, French prog-doomgazers Dislimn have now unveiled a captivating live session videos for »Esmee’s Story« and »Release Me«, now available on YouTube.

“We recently came up with the idea to film a live session of two of our songs from our EP »Esmee«. We believe that these songs offer a great picture of our universe. Both songs will take you through heavy riffs, eerie soundscapes and dark ambiences. They are also key songs in the story of the main character of our EP, »Esmee«. The song »Esmee’s Story« is an open letter in which she confesses her dark thoughts. It represents the part of the story in which she gets overwhelmed by Anxiety. »Release Me« is the final song of our EP, at top of being the final song of our live sets. This song is also our strongest hymn, a meaningful one rich in emotions, that everybody can relate to. In our EP, it’s the part of the story where Esmee decides to fight against her demons. Both of these songs have a very strong effect when we play those live, which is also why we chose them!” says the band

The band’s debut EP received a strong response from the press worldwide, capturing attention across the scene:

“In the end, Dislimn’s »Esmee« is a profound emotional journey that leaves a lasting impact. It’s music that speaks to the soul!” – Iron Backstage

“»Esmee« marks an impressive debut for this young French trio, blending atmospheric art rock with vintage heavy sounds” – Betreutes Proggen

“If an EP is meant to demonstrate what a band is capable of, »Esmee« leaves me wanting more. Dislimn is definitely a name to look out for going forward.” – The Razors Edge

With a rich musical experience and hungry for more, Alix, Basile and Florent joined forces in 2022 to form Dislimn. The project’s soundscape melds the hypnotic resentment of progressive, heavy rock and doom with the nebulous nuances of Scandinavian melodies. The guitars provide a solid ground, mixing power with finesse, relying on catchy riffs and repetitive grooves. The rhythmic anchor, combining drums and percussion, creates a strong support, mentoring through the musical universe of this first EP. To pierce this instrumental plateau, the percussive, melodious vocals invite on a journey between revolt and resilience, while merging styles.
