Friction creates energy. The more tension there is, the higher the friction becomes, the more energy is created. Tension usually results from oppositional poles, charged differently and emitting contrary fields of power: Light and Darkness. Hot and Cold. Love and Hatred. Strength and Weakness. This scientific law can be transferred to music just the same and there are some bands which thrive on the energy created by the contrary musical poles they include in their sound. One of these bands are DIORAMIC, a rather young formation form southern Germany. Their sound is a unique mélange of alternative, experimental and metal, and on first sight opposing acoustic concepts. Like roaring thunder, followed by chirping of birds. Like the sound of a car crash, intertwined with the steady calm of a river. Like a fistfight in the midst of a blooming meadow, the force created by this friction is enormous, primal and very emotional. Just like their LIFEFORCE debut "Technicolor" is.

DIORAMIC are a musical force to be reckoned with and "Technicolor" proves it. The directive which the trio - Arkardi, Jochen and Anton - is pursuing is lovingly entitled Art-Core, a powerful fusion of romantic melodious elements with gut-wrenching blast-beats, and raw explosions of guitar-blows, all enclosed by a controlled and yet menacingly comprising tunnel of thunderous bass, pierced by a undeniable voice of clarity, constantly wavering between harmonious flow and searing outbursts.
