French post-metal band noted for a heavy, atmospheric, despair-laden sound and strong recognizability within their genre.

Dirge is a French post-metal band often compared to Neurosis. The provided review (2011) describes Elysian Magnetic Fields as their fifth album and highlights Wings of Lead Over Dormant Seas as a notable double album.

The provided review praises Dirge's heavy, atmospheric, despair-driven sound and compares them to Neurosis. Elysian Magnetic Fields is described as a monolithic, cathartic fifth album that moves slightly toward melody while retaining the band's crushing atmosphere. The reviewer strongly recommends the album and places it among their year-end favorites.

For:Fans of post-metal, post-hardcore, atmospheric heavy music and listeners who appreciate bands like Neurosis.

 Listening to Dirge (the French ones, not to be confused with the 200 other American, German, etc. Dirges—what creativity I might add) you can't help but bring up the giants of post-hardcore, Neurosis: the sounds go straight to the Oakland band, those same proto-apocalyptic emotions, but not the ones flaunted by extreme bands, physical, warlike, or spatial, or whatever, but that apocalypse of the soul, of the nightmare, that apocalypse of the senses, metaphysical, of pain.
