Dionize’s Lighthouse is a collection of heavy and melodic stoner/sludge metal, or “Loner Metal” as Dionize likes to call it. And with all instruments and vocals performed by the one man, loner metal is a fitting name for the style of music.

Writing & recording began in 2020 during a time of harsh covid restrictions in New Zealand, and the album has been meticulously crafted over four years to showcase a musically diverse & progressive spin on classic stoner metal.

This album contains Coffin Banging Riffage, Skeleton-Dancing Desert Sludge, Mental Illness, Alien Polyrhythms, Psychedelic Escapes, Skullduggery & Malfeasance, Conspiracy Theories, Reptilian Burial Hymns, Time Travel and Groove-Doom.
