'Dysrieuses' is the sixth official Life's Decay album. Continuing their evolution toward a completely acoustic orchestration, 'Dysrieuses' is still a much more aggressive and dynamic presentation than previous album, 'Eklaasera.' In addition to classical instruments such as the cello, the piano and violin, the bass and guitar are more saturated, as are the organ parts. Instruments such as the harmonica, chimes, and xylophone are also present and so are the industrial drums, the martial percussions as well as many experimental sounds made from pieces of metal or other various objects, all representing a very important part in the project's music. 'Dysrieuses' is carried by a feminine voice and its eclectic lyrics, both dark and poetic, always written in French. Moving between or playing with the instruments, the voice goes sweet or turns toward a more violent energy. It gets harder with each album to describe the personality and originality of Life's Decay's music, as it moves through a range of influences like classical music, industrial music, even pop-rock, but it remains dark, experimental, tinted with ambiances and is at the same time martial and poetic. It is fitting that the album comes in such a gorgeous and well-conceived package.
