01-10-09:
- Hello world! It may have seemed like the past months were utterly quiet for DIMAEON, but in fact it has been a turbulent summer for us. In a Brian Adams song it would sound something like "Jelle quit and Philippus got married", but that's only the short version.

We all had nice trips across Europe. Norway, Croatia, Switzerland and Paris to name a few of the locations we've visited. Janneke and Jelle joined the new progressive death metal sensation hailing from The Netherlands: SINCERUS. They both will no longer be in DIMAEON from now on, but their efforts are much appreciated and caught on tape for our upcoming release 'Exit Reality'. We thank them for all the great times in the past years. See you on the road!

We are already working on a new line-up and planning new recording sessions for the 'Exit Reality' EP. All shows for 2009 are canceled, but we will be back in 2010 !!



21-04-09:
- New gig added: on Sunday the 25th of rOcktober, Dimaeon will perform Britswert with Sudden Acces! More info soon on the Bridge 2 Fame website.

02-04-09:
- On May 14th we will perform at Poppodium Romein with Stream Of Passion (NL) and Breed 77 (Gibraltar). Susperia's vocalist Athera recently had an open heart surgery. We don't know if the Norwegians will play with a different vocalist or if they will cancel the gig(s). What we do know is that it would be a great honour. Anyway, we wish Athera all the best and a prosperous recovery!
- Some more pics of our latest show are posted in the writings-section.

29-03-09:
- Yesterday, we claimed victory in the first round of 'Kleine Prijs van Fryslan 2009'. On demand of the spectators we played a second set of songs: an old-school Zugabe!

Yes, we were very pleased with the visit cello-player Daniela payed us, last Saturday in our practise room. The sound of the cello fits very well with some of our material, so who knows what the future might bring...

20-10-04:
We are still (desperately) in search of a second lead guitarist to bring some more melody and solo's into the sound of Dimaeon. If you think you are a better guitar player as Rembert, and familiar with odd time signatures and stuff, contact us at Dimaeon@dimaeon.com.

27-09-04:
We found a new practise studio in Sum�r, it's like a fucking motel, complete with a chill room, drinks and a pooltable!!! Thanks to Burgummer scum. May you all choke in disbelief.

13-09-04:
Since 9-11, the band has no place to practice, so we are desperately in need for a dark basement with a shabby drumkit in the area of Leeuwarden. If this isn't possible, we'll settle for a fully equipped practise room as well. Also a search for a second "first" guitarist is still on, so if you are interested, contact us at dimaeon[at]dimaeon.com

A note for people who fuck things up in and around Kiehool (Burgum) and think spraying pepper spray into a building is funny: don't think again! As we see it, this will not be hard for the people this message is addressed to.

07-09-04:
The site now can be considered complete! A guestbook has been opened in the contact section and in the photo section some pictures can be seen that were shot on our practice session of Saturday the 4th.

31-08-04:
Dimaeon will be performing in "De Gloppe" in Leeuwarden, November 11th, supporting
The Wounded (NL)!!!

30-08-04:
Dimaeon used the late spring and early summer for writing new material. Besides the five finished compositions,
the band now has two unfinished songs that enlarges the spectrum of styles used thus far.

30-08-04:
Dimaeon.com launched, still a lot of bugs and things have to be taken care of,
but this one's already better than the old site...
