The year 2000 saw the creation of a new Norwegian duo called Dimension F3H. No newcomers as such, since founding member Morfeus was previously in the legendary avant-gardist act Limbonic Art. Their first release, which I bought then (2003), was called Reaping the World Winds. Four years later, they come back with their sophomore Does the Pain Excite You? If their first one contained maybe a bit too much of those blast beat moments, this brand new work has corrected that tendency. A few songs still go for it, with those mechanical sounding machine gun drums like Babylon & Violent Fantasy. As a whole, this creation tends to be darker, with varied tempos, often a pleasantly mid or mid fast one was chosen and the futuristic/ modern touch was preserved by constant or mostly constant use of keyboard patterns (symphonic, spacey, ambient or cool sounding). With the moderate pace comes a darker and heavier riffing gracing some of the finest compositions such as: Cyber Queen (cool robotic vocals), Freak Show and the title track. This time around, Jack of all trade, like Morfeus describes himself, is handling the vocals; a harsh / clean type of efficient and suitable style to the feel of the music.
