Can This Even Be Called Music?
The songs clearly reflect the story, as you can now see in the Cold Call video. There are really no visible boundaries set by the band when creating this album, it’s free-structured and feels heartfelt too, which is always a good sign for emotional releases like this one! canthisevenbecalledmusic.com/dumbsaint-panorama-in-ten-pieces/Favorite track: Cold Call.

Containing 55 minutes of Dumbsaint's darkest, most challenging music to date, 'Panorama, in ten pieces.' was written over the course of a year, and recorded in late 2014 with producer Dax Liniere in several rural and suburban studios. Mixed by Liniere over a 4-month period and mastered in High Dynamic Range by Sean Diggins, this record showcases Dumbsaint's intricate and unorthodox songwriting.
As with every Dumbsaint release, 'Panorama, in ten pieces.' contains a synced film component. The 60-minute feature-length film was written, edited and filmed entirely by the band:
"Panorama, in ten pieces. is a suburban horror that tells the story of a residential street in darkness. Populated by a revolving ensemble of dysfunctional lovers, loners and shut-ins, the film peers in at the strange relationships and domestic rituals that go on behind the closed doors of one neighbourhood at night."
Shot over 6 months with a cast of 25 actors, this surrealistic adaptation of the album's 10 tracks will come as a vinyl-only exclusive to be released separately in full at the end of 2015.
This body of work was entirely self-funded. We hope you enjoy it and thank you for your support.

A sonic onslaught, this debut is a winding, complex monster of metallic Prog and Mathy Metal. The incredible accuracy in pulling of daredevil time signatures is all under-pinned by melody and catchy hooks. Take,’ Swagger’, like a Djent band stuck in the studio and vying for control with a particularly raucous version of Lightning Bolt – the precision is jaw-dropping. Elsewhere, I get hints of ‘Power to Believe’ era King Crimson. Fitting, as Serious Beak is a true 21st century schizoid band. Logen Ninefingers

Hashshashin's music is a bold fusion of sound and style, excitingly blending power with finesse to create sounds from another world. Urgent compositions possessing thunderous speed are swiftly countered by moody passages where darkness lies – each track attracts with unique attributes. Michael Reilly
