Album description

This text is not available in your chosen language, we are displaying it in its original language.

DYSTOPIA is Anthemon's second full lenght album, released in 2004 by Thundering Records. It's the first record on which the singing is operated by Loïc Malassage.

Anthemon was, at the time, categorized by both fans and press as a gothic metal band with female vocals, since the first album "Arcanes" was pretty much in that style. That's why DYSTOPIA was coldy welcome after its release. This album was so different than what people expected that maybe, many didn't realize the true potential of this record.

DYSTOPIA is not exactly a concept album but every song is dealing with a single topic, described from a different view. These views all have in common a description of a terrible dystopic society, largely inspired by the real world for most of them.

This album features some of the band's live perfomance favourite songs, such as "Foretell Omega", "Serene Eves" or "La Chute De L'Architecte".

"Anthemon n'est plus un nom à retenir. C'est un pèlerinage à accomplir."

Dystopia est l'avant dernier album d'Anthemon (le dernier étant Kadavreski), groupe de métal progressif français dissous en 2007.
Pour mieux comprendre cet album resituons son contexte, le groupe est en pleine reformtion, il acquert un nouveau batteur (David Verbecq) et un nouveau chanteur (Loïc Massalagne), mais surtout il perd sa chanteuse (Nathalie Bonnaud) qui avait tout de même beaucoup d'importance dans le groupe.
Ces changements ne semblent cependant pas dérouter le groupe pour autant puisque ce cinquième album est largement au dessus des attentes.
Beaucoup moins doom que ces prédecésseur, un peu plus psykédélique, mais toujours métal, Dystopia est imprégné d'une atmosphere forte qui justifie largement le titre de l'album (la dystopie est l'inverse de l'utopie)...
