diM. was formed in February of 2006. The first sessions proved to be a huge surprise, as at first no one knew what to expect. Also, due to the fact that they all had come from different, yet similar musical backgrounds. The band shared a common interest in heavy music. However, it was Mike’s (Knuckillz) grinding slipknot-slayer-styled guitar work that played a huge part in the bands’ first accomplished song, Every Which Way. Sean (Shitloxx), the bands’ bass player grew up learning classical and orchestral style bass. He brought forth a sound that could be compared to the likes of Mudvayne and Primus. Freddie (Shitstixx), inspired by the nu metal scene brings so different a sound, it can only be described as an augmentation, of all styles of music from tock, to swing, to reggae ton. The voice behind the music, as brought by Wes (Beast), has been compared to such bands as Deftones, Killswitch Engage, Sevendust, and In Flames. With everything from soft melodic singing, to harsh in your face screaming, Wes vocals go to each end of the spectrum and back. The icing on the diM. cake and also the last member to join is sampling and keyboardist, Woody (Darkstar). Influenced by new metal bands like Limpbizkit, Deftones and Slipknot, Darkstar also, brings a goth influenced industrial element to the music, with distorted keyboard, and samples that sound like recordings from a torture chamber. By keeping an open door policy for those interested, dM. made a following for themselves simply by turning each practice into a show. They continue to perform throughout the Las Vegas valley and will be reaching a regional audience in 2008
