Out via Re:Mission Entertainment is the brand new album by Reign Of Roses. Reign Of Rose is the dark synth side project of Mentallo & The Fixer. The album was originally set for release in 2006 on Rav Dva but due to the passing of Ric Laciak in 2014 it never materialised. The album has now been remastered by Dwayne Dassing in 2024 and is officially out now.

You can order the album here on Bandcamp.

Dwayne Dassing embarked on a new musical journey after parting ways with his brother, Gary. The split marked a departure from the abrasive electro-industrial sound that characterized Mentallo’s music as Dassing sought to create a more organic and elemental sound.

In 2000, Dwayne met singer Scott Berens, who had recently relocated from Reno, Nevada. Their first collaboration led to the creation of the track “Blind”, marking the birth of their new project, Reign of Roses. The duo’s sound combines medieval and ethereal tones with gothic and darkwave influences, integrating Berens’ introspective lyrics with Dassing’s broad range of analog and digital synths.

Reign of Roses debuted with the EP “In Bourbon and in Blood”, featuring tracks like “Blood”, “Reflection” and “Tears of God”. The band later followed up with their debut album, “Reign of Roses”, offering a blend of gothic and darkwave sounds, reflecting themes of rebirth and personal tribulation drawn from Berens’ experiences.

Note that Gary Dassing is mentioned in the credits as drum programmer. The album is dedicated to Ric Laciak.
