The USA-based goth electro-rock trio Dispel has released its sophomore album, Dante-inspired Inferno. Laced with dark melodies, vocal depth and spiritual quests, Dispel creates a unique musical narrative channelled through the prism of historic lore, mythology and mysticism. A concept album based on Dante's literary masterpiece, Inferno features a song for each layer of sin existing in the infernal realm as they follow Dante and his guide Virgil down to each of them. Sprinkled with diabolical personalities from ancient mythology and fantasy literature, this undertaking took two years to complete.
"Influenced by an equal mix of darkwave beats, Medieval literature, and conceptual rock albums, the music behind Dispel was born. But soon after the completion of our debut album Lore, the world went on lockdown! So we headed back into the studio to create another conceptual album, but we had to up the ante. A spiderweb-ridden bookshelf held the key - 'Dante's Inferno' in its timeless glory", says Scott Dispel. "Putting a literary masterpiece to music was no small task, we had to do it justice through attention to detail, utilizing actual texts and adding mythological personalities, herein combining rock music and world literature."
