Five Angry Men
When Czech metal band Dymytry brought out their successful album ‘Revolt’ in English for the first time in autumn 2021, asserting
their claim to international fame, the release met with positive reactions from countless music magazines. This coup succeeded
thanks to their signing of vocalist Alen Ljubić in combination with a cutting-edge mix of powerful modern metal, intelligent
lyrics and impeccable craftsmanship. Dymytry’s success story, which has continued across the whole of Europe, has also included
tours with Pantera, Lordi and Hämatom, among others, as well as a sold-out anniversary concert at Prague’s O2 Arena in November
2023 with 13,000 tickets sold. Now the five-piece has upped the ante: Their latest English-language album ‘Five Angry Men’ has
been scheduled for release on 26 January 2024, supported by Dymytry’s first headlining tour outside the Czech Republic in January
2024.
Before we continue to reveal the mystery of this unusual band any further, let’s first of all explain the unusual album title. Do
Dymytry really consist of the five angry men on some kind of metal crusade to put the fear of God into the rest of the world? The
musicians’ martial outfits and their scary masks could lead to this assumption. Their ambitious, frequently socio-critical lyrics
also deliver a clear message: “The title ‘Five Angry Men’ refers to our wild image, but also addresses the increasing destruction
of our planet by mankind in a satirical way,” explains Ljubić, adding: “At the same time, we don’t take ourselves overly
seriously, although you’d be forgiven for assuming otherwise, looking at our appearance. Dymytry have a wide range of different
facets, which include both serious and tongue-in-cheek material. In addition, there’s always plenty of entertainment and partying
going on at our shows.”
The band’s brand-new metal statements include ‘In Death We Trust’ about Robert Oppenheimer’s development of the atomic bomb and
its destructive impact, the adrenaline-fuelled, highly motivational ‘Dead Living Dead’, as well as the anti-war number ‘1939’
which remembers the beginning of World War II and talks about the real worry that current developments could result in an
uncontrollable escalation. The first single ‘Enemy List’, already released on 20 October 2023 to ease the wait for the new album,
is about protection from online bullying. The fast-paced ‘Everything Is Black’ will be out as the second single and is sure to
cause rampant circle pits at future live shows. Probably the most unusual number on this album is the title track ‘Five Angry Men’
with its experimental elements, eloquent rap vocals and harsh metal guitars, while ‘Wake Me Up (Before I Die)’ succeeds in
wrapping its social criticism in an atmospheric party flair. Their latest offering is rounded off by the cover song ‘Legends Never
Die’, featuring a contemporary metal guise courtesy of Dymytry.
‘Five Angry Men’ was produced by Kristian Kohle (Powerwolf, Hämatom, among others) at his Kohlekeller Studio, the artwork was
designed by Steven Harrison, with Alen Ljubić contributing the booklet photos. Finally, the Dymytry frontman appropriately
summarises the new album, which is guaranteed to cause a stir on the scene. Referring to the record’s motto, he explains
tongue-in-cheek: “Sometimes you need five ugly anti-heroes who don’t gloss over the ugly reality, but at least present it in good
songs.”
