DALETH is the "solo project" from Joe Merrill (Rowdy Towdy, Noah’s Apathy, Maniac, Esteem, City of Liars, Centaurus, etc.). Unlike his previous efforts, DALETH explores a dark, revealing cycle throughout every song. Each note, faced by doom, follows an epic adventure. In a sea of drowning talent, DALETH incorporates several unique influences into it’s excursion. Fans of: ISIS, ENVY, MONO, COALESCE, and FLOOR take note!

REVIEWS:
"Daleth’s "We Will Live Forever" starts out with dueling guitars plucking a somber reverb-drenched melody before drums pick up and plow the whole thing into a riffage fest. It ain’t easy to assemble a one-man band on an 8-track and keep everything in sync, but J. Merrill is credited for everything on here and plays the part admirably. I’m no expert on this type of stuff, but if I were to say "Florida-style Hydra Head band sans vocals" you might get an approximation."http://cassettegods.blogspot.com/
"Daleth side is impressive and ambitious for a one-man band." http://blastitude.blogspot.com
"Yeah, there is mincemeat with blood and onions on this disk." Stolen off a Russian Message Board
"Darkness from the Sunshine State!" http://sludgeswamp.blogspot.com
"Very cool, abrupt sludge..." Here I Am Such a Whole (Russian Blog)
"This album simply bombs! Finger Licking good! Isis x Godflesh = Daleth!" Neformat.com.ua
"Very raw early/demo material that shows good potential, especially in the epic ’We Will Live Forever’ where the raw, noisy sound adds to the song." http://soundweave.blogspot.com/
