meet Raland Kinley, developer, front man

We’ve worked with many fascinating people over the years, from all walks of life. ‘Meet’ is about sharing a little about these individuals and the work we provided.

Well, well, well. The beast from the East returns

Dichotic played music you never heard. If you listen to the music, you'll probably hate it.

Raland Kinley is many things: professional web/software developer, music label owner and the former front man of Halifax, Nova Scotia's death metal demons Dichotic.

Raland Kinley

Raland graduated from Saint Mary's University in 1996 with Bachelor's degrees in arts (honours economics) and commerce (finance). He worked for a junior mineral resource company as an administrative assistant in his first year after university before landing a market researcher position at Brooklyn North Software Works in the early part of 1997. Eventually, Raland took on the role of webmaster for the company and this is where his interest in web development and programming took hold. He stayed on with Brooklyn North until 1999.

In the meantime, Raland had been handling vocal duties for local death metal masters Dichotic and he managed his own music label (Discorporate Music) to promote Dichotic and other local metal acts including Cephalectomy, Fear Absolute and Civil Carnage. Dichotic released two full-length CDs for Discorporate Music. In all, Discorporate Music has eight releases under its belt.

Dichotic's music isn't for those of the weak of heart. Or those who like melody, singing and songs which stick in your head for days.
