Dimensions

Believer released their first debut in 1989 called Extraction From Mortality, which was a thrash metal classic. In 1990, they released another album, which was even better entitled Sanity Obscure, which was a bit more technical than their original debut. Now comes their third and last offering; Dimensions. A very symphonic/melodic/operatic thrash metal album, and is also very different from their others for the fact that Kurt's vocals have changed, and is even MORE progressive than their other albums.

This album has a lot of soundbyte introductions, which include bits from Hellbound: Hellraiser II, and The Exorcist III. Dimensions starts out with the track entitled "Gone." That song goes back to their days of Extraction From Mortality because it is very thrashy, and plays some-what similar riffs as was played in their first album. 7/10

"Future Mind" is an alright song and has a soundbyte from the movie Hellraiser II "The mind is a labyrinth, a puzzle..." then it gets heavy. Not a bad song. 7/10

"Dimentia" is one of the better tracks on the album, and starts out with a very beautiful accoustic guitar introduction. 'the voice' goes into a voice-over describing how science has taken over the world. Then it gets HEAVY. 8/10

"What is but cannot be" is a pretty damn good track too. Very heavy. 8/10

"Singularity" is an awesome track, one of the best. Unfortunetly, Kurt's vocals get a little annoying. 8/10

"No apology" is another awesome track. A real thrasher for the album. 8/10

"Trilogy Of Knowledge" is definetly the best track(s) on here, and the reason why I say track(s) because it's an epic split into four parts. Has A LOT of symphonic thrash elements to it, and it's definetly AMAZING. The whole epic symbolizes the story of Christ. 10/10.


Overall, the negatives of this album is it's sort of "avant-guardish" as well, Kurt Bachman's vocals need improvement, because they were REALLY annoying. Over all. 88%
