Dante-Inspired Gothic Electro-Rock Trio DISPEL, Interview with Scott Dispel
Dante-inspired gothic electro-rock trio called DISPEL released their latest LP called "INFERNO." \xa0Produced by Dispel, the album was mastered at the Cage Studios in Coventry, England by Martin Bowes of Attrition.\xa0
Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Dispel consist of lead vocalist Ravensea, Sean Gallows (Vocals and Bass) and Scott Dispel (Drums and Keyboards).\xa0 I spoke to Scott Dispel, a founding member of the old school hardcore band Face Value and former drummer for Textbeak and who is also a studio engineer, producer and award winning night club DJ.\xa0
Based on Dante's literary masterpiece, the album "INFERNO" features a song for each layer of sin existing in the infernal realm. Dispel follows Dante and his guide Virgil down each layer of the Nine Hells, dedicating a song to each level of mortal sin. Sprinkled with diabolical personalities from ancient mythology and fantasy literature, this undertaking took two years to complete. Laced with dark melodies, vocal depth and spiritual quests, Dispel creates a unique musical narrative, channeled through the prism of historic lore, mythology and mysticism.
"Influenced by an equal mix of darkwave beats, Medieval literature, and conceptual rock albums, the music behind Dispel was born. But soon after the completion of our debut album \u2018Lore\u2019, the world went on lockdown! So we headed back into the studio to create another conceptual album, but we had to up the ante. A spiderweb-ridden bookshelf held the key - \u201cDante\u2019s Inferno\u201d in its timeless glory,"\xa0 says Scott Dispel.
