Dilemma, the darkly captivating project forged in the shadows by producer Alex Elias, is releasing its most emotionally resonant single to date, “The Gift (that Keeps on Giving),” today, May 14th, 2025, via Outer Darkness Records. This intensely brooding track plunges listeners into a soundscape that is both exquisitely tormented and deeply personal, serving as a melancholic reflection on the visceral realities of enduring chronic pain.
“The Gift (that Keeps on Giving)” exists in the liminal space between a gothic lament and an industrial outpouring, drawing its power from the profound wellspring of emotional and physical struggle. The lyrics possess a sharp, almost painful beauty, cutting through the sonic darkness like shards of glass beneath a shattered moonlit sky. The poignant line, “and those moments of reprieve, fleeting but pristine, I treasure them as true gift without irony,” lies at the heart of the track’s ironically titled name, encapsulating its bittersweet and deeply human message.
This already powerful single is further amplified by the inclusion of two compelling remixes, each offering a unique perspective on Dilemma’s haunting original:
Pixelgrinder, a formidable force also residing within the Outer Darkness Records stable, injects his signature cybernetic precision into the track, crafting a grinding and deliciously relentless reinterpretation that will resonate with fans of intricate electronic sequencing.
Brandon Smith, the electronic rock visionary behind The Anix and a 20-year veteran of the industry, contributes a masterclass in melancholic extraction. He artfully distills the original’s sorrowful waves, juxtaposing them with an elegy of solemnity and fragile hope, creating a beautifully nuanced sonic tapestry.
“The Gift (that Keeps on Giving)” masterfully showcases Dilemma’s ability to seamlessly blend brooding vulnerability with moments of industrial aggression, offering a cathartic release for anyone who understands the often-invisible battles fought against chronic pain, whether experienced firsthand or witnessed in a loved one.
