Vin de Mia Trix - Once Hidden in Sight to be co-released by Hypnotic Dirge/Solitude Prod.

April 30, 2013

Doom band Vin de Mia Trix signs with Hypnotic Dirge/Solitude Productions for co-release in September!

The first co-release between Hypnotic Dirge Records (Canada) and Solitude Productions (Russia) will see the light of day in September 2013 and it will be doom band Vin de Mia Trix's debut full-length album "Once Hidden in Sight" which the band has been preparing and perfecting for quite some time.

Vin de Mia Trix is a band from Kyiv, Ukraine. Its music is a blend of different doom metal subgenres, also including various elements of other styles. Lengthy mid-tempo opuses with crushing funeral riffs morphing into melancholic acoustic passages create mysterious and dark atmosphere.

Rooted between Funeral and Death/Doom Metal, initially the band’s songs leaned towards Dark Metal and mid-90’s Scandinavian scene. Hovewer, the idea of creating intelligent and touching, yet uncompromisingly heavy and dark music fueled further progress. As a result, VdMT’s sound is still evolving, encorporating bits of Black Metal, Post-Rock, Progressive Metal, Blues and some other genres.

Slowly overcoming various obstacles, the band finished their debut album in 2013. ‘Once Hidden From Sight’ summarizes first five years of Vin de Mia Trix’s existence, documenting what was said and done during the band's formative years.

The full album will of course be released for free streaming as usual for Hypnotic Dirge and Solitude Productions releases upon its release date but in the meantime, the final nine minute track from the "Once Hidden in Sight" album entitled "मातृ" (mātṛ) has been made available for streaming and free download on the links below and you can also find a recent live video of "मातृ" (mātṛ) filmed earlier in April in good quality.
