Beyond your skin, beyond your screen, beyond what you think you know. What lies in this area? An area with no opinions, motives, sides or divisions. An area where governments and capitalists have no currency and the absolute truth reigns supreme.
After releasing his self-titled debut album in 2017, Dion Lunadon (The D4, ex-A Place To Bury Strangers) is set to release his sophomore album - Beyond Everything June 10th via In The Red Records. Available for pre-order HERE.
The lead single is Living And Dying With You and it’s probably the best rocker you’ll hear all year. It’s accompanied by an animated video by Mexico City animator, Julián Name.
Beyond Everything will be Dion’s first release on In The Red (an ideal match for his music), as well as his first full-length since departing A Place To Bury Strangers. Written, performed and recorded by Dion, the songs tap into a raw, palpable energy that blur the line between the music and the person. Drums on the record were played by Blaze Bateh (Bambara) and Nick Ferrante (The Black Hollies).
Dion says “This was the last song written for the record. I think it’s a pretty romantic idea. ’Til death do we part kind of stuff. The title says it all. I came up with the video idea as a straight narrative of the song. Julián and I decided to use animals instead of humans as the characters. Different species getting along and getting it on.”
Dion will also be touring with a full band in North America and Europe/UK throughout 2022.
The US tour begins on the western side of the US in June starting in Denver (some of these dates are supporting The Black Angels), with European and UK dates are in November. Dion has two East Coast dates before then; Union Pool in Brooklyn with Kate Clover, and in Bethlehem, PA with Death Bag. All dates are listed below with more TBA. Ticket links HERE.

Animator Julián Name says "When Dion contacted me to work on this video he had a very clear vision of the things happening on each part of the song. I really loved the track and my work was to translate those ideas into moving images. We clicked immediately on the aesthetics and I'm really happy with the way things turned out.”
Dion says “The record was written and recorded sporadically between 2017 and 2019. I probably wrote about 100 songs during this period. The first album was pretty relentless which I liked, but I wanted to make something more dynamic for the 2nd record. Something that could be more conducive to repeated listens. I’d get in my studio, come up with a song title, and start working on any ideas that I had. For example, with Elastic Diagnostic, the idea was to create a hum that evokes the sound of life coursing though your body. Everything else kind of formed around that idea.”
