The 2004 album "DiEversity" saw Entwine further explore a more diverse, melodic, and at times experimental gothic metal sound. It marked a departure from some of their earlier, more straightforwardly heavy material, incorporating a wider range of influences and instrumentation.
- "DiEversity" was released on March 15, 2004, by Spinefarm Records in Finland. The album featured guest vocals from the Finnish singer M. Graham on the track "Bitterness of Defeat." It was produced by Tero Kalliomäki and mixed by Anssi Kippo at their Astia Studio in Lappajärvi, Finland.
- Entwine's previous album, "Gone," had seen commercial success in their native Finland, charting at number 6. With "DiEversity," the band aimed to build on this momentum while pushing their musical boundaries. The album's title itself, a portmanteau of "die" and "diversity," reflected the band's thematic and sonic explorations.
- While not reaching the chart heights of "Gone" in Finland, "DiEversity" is often cited by fans as a transitional album that showcased Entwine's willingness to experiment. Tracks like "The Survivor" and "Fade into Infinity" became notable for their more intricate arrangements and vocal performances, highlighting the band's growth.
Entwine was a Finnish gothic metal band formed in the late 1990s, known for their blend of melancholic melodies and heavy riffs. In 2004, with "DiEversity," they were at a point where they sought to evolve their established sound amidst a shifting landscape of European metal.
