REALMS
"The idea and creation of our newest single, Realms came from pure intuition and connectiveness to the music. We wanted to capture a variety of intense moods that resonate with the listener and cut into the dynamic dimensions of our sound. We feel that this song will speak to everyone in a unique way and mean something in a unique way. We hope ‘Realms’ casts a new sound to the rock and metal scene and is an echo of what else there is to come from the two of us in Dianthus."
CREEPING IN
"Creeping In is a song that deals with the pressures of self-doubt and negative thoughts. At times, we are all faced with lies about ourselves, whether it is from our own thought process or the words of others. Those inner feelings can create a war within our minds and we must find a way out. Harvest the true, good beliefs you have and never feed the harmful voices. Feelings of angst, determination, and optimism set the tone for this song."
LONICERA
"Lonicera is one of the most conceptual songs from our forthcoming album. The introduction sets the storyline by first defining a ‘lonicera’. The song then shifts sonically to other forms. We wanted this track to be symbolic of the imaginative world we are creating with our album ‘Realms’. Lonicera alludes to the mysterious and subliminal nature of the mind’s conscience."
A SPACE IN THE SILENCE
"A Space in the Silence is one of the heavier tracks on the new Dianthus record. It identifies an inner-angst and aggression. Finding a place to be alone with one's own thoughts is commanded in the breakthrough choruses, "Go find your place, a space in the silence." In order to gain mental clarity, isolating in a quiet room away from external voices can be an important action. The chorus also sings, "Don't leave a trace, break away from the violence." If a situation goes from bad to worse and conflict begins to arise, sometimes it is best to retreat and refocus. The drums begin the song with a meaty groove that thickens as the intensity builds, while the guitars tap into an ominous and subliminal void. The official music video for this track is the pinnacle of what Dianthus strives to enliven with their music. An intrigue with Victorian era fashion and metal music fosters a deceivingly heavy sound from the two petite twin sisters. The video takes viewers into a dark chapter within the conceptual world of "Realms", the forthcoming album from Dianthus. With a focus mainly on performance, the cinematic footage captures Jessica and Jackie Parry releasing raw emotion on their instruments. Quick flashes of the twins walking down a dimly lit hallway are sure to send a chill down one's spine, reminiscent of the iconic moments from Stanley Kubrick's, The Shining. This music video is nothing short of an unforeseen thrill. A must-see. A must-hear."
