Their sound spans sonic regions from dense terrorscapes to late night grooves to dreamy serendipitous currents, soaring highs and paranoid messes. Their instrumental reflections on homeland environments both bleak and beautiful have received airtime on Triple J and community radio. Fans of emotive and intelligent songwriters such as Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emperor will enjoy the groups debut album, due for release through Jungle Library Records mid-year. Dead Letter Opener dynamically infuse elements from various heavier genres of music with hauntingly atmospheric sound scapes to create a powerful and unique sound compelling to fans of all styles of progressive rock and metal, and appreciators of thoughtful song craft and arrangement. “Opeth-meets-Devin-inspired death-prog...” Some of the many great bands DLO have experienced the pleasure of sharing the stage with include; Coliseum (US), Cradle of Filth (UK), The Dillinger Escape Plan (US), Five Star Prison Cell, Lynchmada and Psycroptic. DLO are wrapping up the final details for the release of their new album entitled "Lumen". Mixed by Pathogen guitarist Aidan Barton at Sovereign Studios in Perth and Mastered by Textures guitarist and production guru Jochem Jacobs at Split Second Sound in Amsterdam, Lumen is a satisfyingly dynamic voyage of progressive heaviness, perfectly encapsulating the bands powerful and unique sound.

With a four-piece lineup completed in 2005, their style has been honed over a decade, culminating in the volatile eruptions which have featured on Triple J’s Short Fast Loud program.
