Dive into the intricate tapestry of metal mastery with Believer's 'Dimensions,' now reborn on heavy-weight blue vinyl with black splatter, an exclusive collector's delight brought to you by Bombworks Records. Limited to just 300 units as a stunning 2-LP set, this edition marks the first-ever release of the heavy-weight blue with black splatter vinyl in the US. The deluxe gatefold packaging is adorned with lyrics and pictures, offering fans a visual feast alongside the sonic journey into the depths of Believer's groundbreaking album. Remastered by Rob Cowell of Bombworks Sound, this edition pays homage to the band's 1993 release on R.E.X. Records & Roadrunner Records. Believer, celebrated as technical progressive thrash metal pioneers, is renowned for it's innovative use of symphonic elements, showcasing some of the earliest examples of symphonic and orchestral metal. The album's supreme technical prowess is accentuated by it's exploration of philosophical paradoxes and the musings of eminent thinkers like Sigmund Freud, Thomas J. J. Altizer, Ludwig Feuerbach, and Jean-Paul Sartre on the existence of God. At the heart of 'Dimensions' lies the magnum opus, the symphonic progressive metal suite titled 'Trilogy of Knowledge.' Spanning over 20 minutes, this epic masterpiece delves into the biblical narrative of the life of Christ and the profound themes of knowledge, good, and evil. Orchestrated by Scott Laird and featuring soprano vocals by Julianne Laird Hoge, 'Trilogy of Knowledge' is a testament to Believer's ability to seamlessly blend metal and symphony. As part of Roadrunner Records' progressive metal/thrash campaign, 'The Breed Beyond,' Believer joined forces with Cynic and Pestilence, leaving an indelible mark on the genre. Now, on Bombworks Records, 'Dimensions' is not just an album; it's a transcendent experience. Immerse yourself in the vibrant hues of heavy-weight blue with black splatter vinyl, and let the symphonic progressive thrash metal of Believer take you on an unforgettable journey. This collector's edition is a testament to the band's enduring legacy - seize your copy now and become a part of metal history!

  • Neue Klangdimensionen

    Written on 25. May 2006 by Claudio Febbo.
    This customer review refers to a alternative version.

    Lange bevor Gothic -Symphonic Metal ein Begriff , geschweige eine kommerzieller Trend waren, brachte die christliche Heavy Band „Believer“ 1993 ein Meilenstein dieser Musikrichtung raus. Zwar sind die ersten 5 Songs eher so etwas wie progressiver Death Metal (besonders der röchelnde Gesang) alla Atheist, wird es ab dem sechsten Song ziemlich experimentell. Beim letzten/siebten Song "Trilogy of Knowledge", das aus drei zusammenhängenden Songs besteht, hat eine operntrainierte Frauenstimme die Oberhand beim Gesangsmikro. Violinen und Cellos kommen zum Einsatz. Dazumal war dies eine ziemlich eine abgefahrene Idee. Auch wenn die Schweizer „Celtic Frost“ 1987 mit "Into The Pandemonium" ein paar Jährchen früher herausbrachten und eigentlich die "Gründer“ von Gothic Metal gelten (nicht „Paradise Lost“), haben „Believer“ auch eine grossartigen Beitrag zu dieser Musikrichtung geschaffen. Unbedingt reinhören.
