Following HOME (2021) and ELEMENTS (2024), after racking up more than 100 million streams and touring the world with some of the biggest acts in the world including Korn, Corey Taylor and Dayseeker dissolution is the record Siamese did not plan to make but couldn’t avoid. It stands as the band’s most personal release to date. Written during a period marked by one of their main songwriters leaving the band, the album forced a fundamental reassessment of both the process and the intentions. Siamese became more of a band, and less of a songwriting camp with dissolution. The result is a sound that is heavier than anything Siamese have released before. More instinctive, more aggressive and a more introvert. At the center of dissolution lies a deeply complicated father - son relationship. An abusive alcoholic father, whose presence defined childhood through domestic violence, toward the family, but never directly toward the son. That contradiction shaped the damage and became formative at the same time. This relationship is the root from which the album grows. Every other theme branches out from it. Whether it’s infidelity, drug use (or abuse). the constant escapism or the fear of time running out. These are not isolated subjects, but repeating patterns. Things inherited, anomalies normalized, and carried forward until they begin to collapse. For years, the idea persisted that consequences could be avoided, that some people simply slip through untouched. dissolution confronts the slow erosion of that belief. The title reflects a wider realization: everything dissolves. The father is gone and the memories are vague. The past mistakes lose their sharpest edges. but so does the illusion of safety. Responsibility arrives but not as an abstract idea. It’s as reality, taking shape through parenthood and the understanding that nothing is guaranteed. The album represents the most comprehensive body of work Siamese have created. Along the way, the band collaborated with a close circle of trusted contributors, including Zachary Baker, Mads Zelasny, Zach Jones, KJ Strock, and Paul Spirou - each adding perspective without diluting the album’s core identity. Album mastered by Ted Jensen and released by Long Branch Records.
