Folklore & ethereal black metal solo project from Northumbria.
From the grim darkness of Northumbria comes Dinenthal. Part storyteller, part dreamer, Dinenthal crafts dark foreboding music, telling fireside tales of Northumbrian history, Celtic folklore of his ancestral Western Argyll as well as contemplating the complexities of space and time or the mysteries of existence. He initially formed his solo project in 2009 during Acherontia Styx's hiatus, however the project itself took a long time to come to fruition and didn't pick up until 2017. Dinenthal formed Acherontia Styx alongside Grant Crossan in 2007 after a brief session the north east based thrash metal band Wrath Within. Dinenthal's passion for black metal goes back to the early 90's, after hearing a mixtape from a good friend. Already hooked on extreme metal bands like Carcass, he first heard the early Norwegian black metal bands Emperor and Mayhem and was instantly hooked on their dark sound.​Dinenthal is a multi-instrumentalist and can play a variety of instruments from guitars and bass, to piano, keyboards, synthesisers, violin and brass instruments. He is also an extreme metal vocalist and has an impressive guttural range from deep low growls which can be heard often in tracks alongside Acherontia Styx frontman, Grant Crossan, to his high ear-shattering shrieks. While focusing on his main band Acherontia Styx, Dinenthal has also performed his guttural vocals on US movie director Brian Labrecque's doom-laden spoken word epic poem, Alien Atheist, he also played synths on the sequel, Atheist Alien: A Tale of Pentacles as well as serving as studio engineer and co production for the album working with drummer Simon Skrlec from Sinister, Robert Lowe from Candlemass & Solitude Aeturnus and Nita Morrigan from Lost Requiem. 

Dinenthal also performs in the electronic prog rock instrumental band DTS Overdrive.
