Dirge
A seven-minute descent into hypnotic industrial bliss, anchoring a ghostly children's choir to a monolithic, distorted bassline that builds to a towering wall of sound.

Dirge is a singular exercise in sonic tension and release, a track that feels less like a song and more like a slow-motion collision. It begins with the haunting, repetitive chant of the London Community Gospel Choir, sounding like a secular ritual performed in a cold, concrete cathedral. This innocence is immediately met by a bassline so thick and distorted it feels physical, a relentless loop that provides the track's unwavering heartbeat. As the minutes pass, Death in Vegas layers on sheets of psychedelic guitar noise and driving, industrial percussion, transforming a simple melody into an overwhelming, cinematic experience.
