Dejection is a one man instrumental heavy metal band from England. Dead Earth is their debut EP. Dejection plays
a melodic, progressive brand of death metal that brings a djent sound
to the table. These songs are heavy but never at the expense of the
songwriting or the fluid riffing. Dejection cite bands like Veil
Of Maya, Born Of Osiris, Auras and The Faceless. If John Petrucci's
Suspended Animation had more of a death metal, djent feel to it it would
sound like this. All of these songs combine traces of melody, sometimes
with keyboards, alongside a focus on being crushingly heavy. If you
like your metal blackened and with some djent, Dejection's Dead Earth will serve well.
