Dystersol was formed in 2013 in Aflenz and is an Austrian Modern Metal band. With the first
release, the home-grown “Welcome the Dark Sun” in 2014, the band experimented with different
sub-genres and used this ambiguity to create a diversified album.
After numerous gigs across Austria and Germany (including the world renowned Kaltenbach Open
Air) and years of intense song writing, their concept had become clear. Heavy, shattering guitar
riffs, groovy deep bass lines, crushing double bass drums and mighty orchestras and synths
provide the solid basis for uncompromising growling and screaming voices. Dystersol’s style can’t
be assigned to one specific genre, but is definitely exciting for everyone who loves to bang their
head to modern heavy music. The first professional LP “The Fifth Age of Man” will be released on
May 4th 2018. Recorded at Realsound Studio in Italy, mastered at New Alliance East and
distributed via their label Wormholedeath Records, Dystersol is proud to share their latest piece of
metal music. Thematically based on ancient mythology, this album addresses some of the
reoccurring problems which run like a thread through the history of mankind.
Album Story
The whole album takes place during the Five Ages of Man described in Greek mythology, and
focuses on the Iron Age - the last age of humanity - where people live in misery and kill each other
for literally nothing. Egoistic motives have destroyed the whole planet for decades, and exploited
people at the end of the food chain hunt each other down for worthless things.
However, the album doesn’t focus on retelling ancient stories, but rather on connoting their
meaning to modern times and personal concerns. As a consequence, the tracks leave a lot of room
for interpretation, and many lyrics can be transferred to refer to one’s personal situation.
Trying to get mankind any step further by technical progress and knowledge makes no sense
directly in front of the cliff. So either let’s find a way out or simply decide to have a good time
amongst the ruins.
