The five piece melodic tech-death metal band hailing from Dublin have revealed their debut album Paradigms will be out August 14. The band’s drummer, Dave Fay, has posted a drum playthrough of one of the tracks from the new album, No Catharsis, on the band’s Youtube page.

As well as being available physically, Paradigms will also be available to download digitally. Lead guitarist Steven ‘Rats’ Rahaman says Paradigms is about a multitude of things. “We all individually have a varied taste in music and style so the music we created had a lot of contrast so the name Dichotomy was chosen. The lyrics themselves in Paradigms create a collection of dichotomies. So in a nutshell you could say that Paradigms is about the band name which is about the music.”

The band have cited bands such as Gojira, Death and Opeth as their main influences. MetalIreland.com have said “This band cant really be credited enough on their musicality. They do the genre proud, and indeed they advance it.” According to SoundShooterMusic.com, Dichotomy have formed something “organic and brutal that never fails to deliver in both heaviness and professionalism.”

The tracklisting for Paradigms is as follows:

1. Empyrean
2. The Sentient Oppressed
3. All – Seeing Eye
4. Polarity
5. No Catharsis
6. Covenant Of The Forsworn
7. Alea Iacta Est
8. …Of Strife Of Discord
