Longly anticipated by their fans for a full length release and newly recruited by NoiTekk: DYM's "The Invilid" features a unique enigmatic design of aggressively club anthem like ebm synths, and harsh vocals which are well known and favourited characteristics from the label's ranks. DYM has interfused this with a never before heard breakcore influenced rapid fire style percussion, glitching and abrasive editing. Lyrically DYM expresses their own opinions from current events, society's idiosyncrasies, control, and unsatisfactory conditions. This also reflects their purpose which was from day 1, to bring forth a new approach to the standard industrial sound. Stand alone, state of the art, heavily distorted, yet sharply precise total control over their technology DYM will lead the Hellectro scene to it's next level by bringing new influences to the genre.
