TOME 1 (2020)
Grata sorpresa el primer álbum de los de los Chicago, un primer álbum que responde a un black de corte melódico pero que encierra otros estilos e influencias. Creo que el mayor acierto por parte de Dismalimerence ha sido el ser capaces de recoger influencias del black clásicos de estilos como el sinfónico y el melódico y mezclarlos con influencias y estilos más actuales, logrando un sonido rico, variado, casi que preciosista, en donde los detalles se han cuidado y que acaba por ser capaz de ofrecer por un lado una vertiente agresiva y directa, casi que oscura y por otra lado hay un peso importante de elementos también de procedencia atmosférica, acabando por sonar todo perfectamente cohesionado. El álbum es cierto que se adentra por terrenos atmosférico, usando teclados de manera residual ya que el aporte de atmósferas viene del tono de guitarra, capaz de ofrecer una ambientación fría al tiempo que intimista. Otro aspecto destacable de este trabajo es que en ningún momento le pierde el pulso a la faceta más melódica de su propuesta, tanto en las partes más lentas como en las mas agresivas, capaces de desgranar riffs que suenan brutales al tiempo que ásperos y directos desprendiendo sensaciones como la melancolía o la desesperación. El ejercicio de guitarra es tremendo y la larga duración de los temas permite que estos fluyan y se adentren por terrenos progresivos, en donde elementos limpios, casi que intimista, en donde salen a relucir algunos teclados y guitarras limpias, se ven destruidos por la irrupción de doble bombos, incendiarios riffs y voces agresivas y crudas, todo ello, fruto de estilos como el doom o el rock, alejándose del convencionalismo del black. Realmente estamos ante un álbum repleto de grandes momentos, que si bien no se ciñe al sonido black más clásico, si que podemos decir que se encuadra perfectamente en el sonido de fusión de elementos tradicionales con nuevas tendencias. (8,1).



1. Crimson Glow 11:48
 I am trapped in your crimson glow. Our hearts grew apart, yet I still hold you close. We trapped ourselves in the past of what we used to know. Forever casting a shadow of relentless insecurity. Here you are, dressed in decay. Wishing for a new day without the pain. Within this hopeless life, meeting you has brought forth the light. I am trapped in your crimson glow. Our hearts grew apart, yet I still hold you close. I will descend into the fires of doubt. Deafening screams pierce through my thoughts as winter's breath tightens the knot. I will descend into the fires of doubt. Lost within myself. Blackened truth behind the veils of your plea, decipher the epitaphs brought unto thee. The darkness follows close, prevailing in the hearts of those who've lost, and whose grown. Falling back into your glow. I am trapped in your crimson glow. Our hearts grew apart, yet I still hold you close.
2. Sequestered Hearts 04:29
Feel the pain within my tones as it breaks celestial bones, in which I have sustained the growing love of sequestered hearts. I'm lost between myself and the person you want me to be. Our bond has been found, beyond the moons, across our lakes. We have dug out all of our strains, buried to thee, I will descend into the grave. Feel the pain within my tones as it breaks celestial bones, in which I have sustained the growing love of sequestered hearts. The dawning decadence of despair.   
3. My Only Love 05:09
 I've lost my light. You've brought the pain inside. I've lost my only peace deep within the sorrows of your grasp. You've enslaved me to the darkest fetishes of distress. Tears fall as endless rains, as your shadow beckons to my aches. I will break these chains for I shall now awake. Buried under my fears lies the keys to harmony. I will break these chains for I shall now awake.
4. Orchid's Reverie 07:01
Passion, honesty, and the echoes of your call. I drift on into a memory of what once was. With your hand in mine, with our hearts intertwined. Our affection as one, the riverbed flows of the essence, and a mist shrouds the gardens of endearment. I shall never leave this world without you, for my existence would be undeserving. The radiance of your safekeeping, something I adore. For your ambition is what keeps the light upon my shore. This canvas, beaten with misery, and torment. I've found the heartache resting beyond her door. Years of blindly contributing to this agony, yet not to notice this dismal life I bestow. For she was my orchid that I'd never let grow.  
5. Pragma 03:41
  Possessed by the powers of love and trapped by the mourning doves. My life sewn into yours, blackened by the morrows of what is to come. Enchanted by the warmth of your call, I sit, and await. Counting the moons. Restless in despair, when will you return? Pragma, why have you deceived me? Enchanted by the warmth of your call, I sit, and await. Counting the moons. Restless in despair, when will you return? Facing the cold realization of loss, my blood strikes the ground, painting the moss.
6. Negligence of the Forgotten 05:13
A lifelong journey without the stars. No illuminance to my paths. I strive to live in difference to the shadows that pulled you down..and I must carry on for the candles of thy kin shall never burn again. I am your son, losing sense of who I am. Can you recall my name? Negligence of the forgotten son, that you've buried in eternal droughts.  
7. Vale Amor 08:27
  Embedded under the crescent moon. Decaying in yesteryears droughts. The win whistles through my ears and dear Luna shines upon my skin. With these brittle hands, I strive for harmony, but have only found pain. I still recall the taste of your lips and the welcoming scent of your hair. We used to smile in the rose garden, beyond the hills. We fell into one another with frivolous chills. With your body swaying in the cold, the wind gust carries you from side to side. Do I dare to continue without you by my side? As I stand under your feet, your name is safe within me, my queen, and my only dream. Vale Amor.
8. Destined for Solitude 05:13
   Destined for solitude. I cry out for change, yet always forgetting I set this motion in place. Returning to my old home, caressing the frames to ignite nostalgic flames. I walk near the riverbed as I dig into my skin. Carving as I hear the water flowing. The beauty in which this earth brings, casted under our selfish, and dire needs. I dip my toes into the water. Physically, I still feel. I wrap myself in further decay. In this riverbed I will forever lay. I've longed for this my entire life. This relief. This release. My blood spills upon the wet rocks and damp grass. A sliver of life remains and my body grows cold. This shiver, the last of my days. Destined for solitude, the final masquerade. This shiver, the last of my days.
