DGM

Ad essere sincero preferisco "Frame" perché più eterogeneo, ma anche l'ultimo è un gran bel disco, non vedo l'ora di rivederli a Milano con i CM ...

 

mmmm non capisco come una band come questa sia così poco considerata... voglio dire, si perde molto tempo
a scrivere su topic di certe band a mio parere senza significato... e invece questo topic non viene nemmeno calcolato... e pure devo
dire che Frame e l'ultimo Momentum sono micidiali, anche i precedenti dischi con Titta Tani sono notevoli...

 

Stasera è l'ultima dei 3 date del mini tour dei Noveria (ci stanno bassista e tastierista dei DGM), suoneranno al Blue Rose Saloon di Milano.
Ieri a Modena eravamo schifosamente pochi (a parte parenti della seconda band ed amici dei gestori c'erano 3/4 tipi capitati per sbaglio ed io), chi è in zona stasera ci faccia una salto che non sono per nulla male (suonano così).

 

Risen è l'albu, dell'anno per me, ma non sono riuscito ad esserci sto weekend....

 

Nel frattempo han registrato batteria e basso del nuovo album che uscirà a fine estate per Frontiers Records.

 

Piccola preview del nuovo album.

 

BREAKING NEWS: Frontiers Music Srl is excited to announce the release of the brand new album from Italian prog metal masters DGM, entitled “The Passage”, on August 26th.

“The Passage” is DGM’s eighth studio album and is the culmination of almost 20 years of hard work that started back in 1997 with the release of their self-produced mini-album, ‘Random Access Zone’. The band went through several incarnations and lineup changes during the years, but since singer Mark Basile joined the group in 2007, DGM evolved and developed their sound into what they have now become.

It was probably the release of “Frame” (2007) that pushed the band into the top of the league of international prog metal. It was also on the strength of this material that DGM managed to tour for almost four years around the world, taking part in some of the biggest metal festivals, supporting Symphony X on their European tour, and sharing the stage with Pagan's Mind too. In 2013, DGM came back with "Momentum", an album which showed the full stylistic maturity of a band which felt fully confident with their abilities, both on the songwriting and the musicianship side. The last album was promoted with more shows and after several gigs in Europe, they performed for the second time at ProgPower USA and started their first Asian tour in November 2014 playing Beijing, Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka as headliners.

The new album, “The Passage” is another substantial step forward for DGM. Sounding like a hungry, urbanized version of Symphony X, with substantial hard rock influences, the new record is remarkable in several aspects. The compositions are phenomenal, with sweeping choruses, technical passages, lightning fast fretwork, big vocals and bombastic transitions. The playing is simply faultless and the melodies are perfectly woven into the killer guitars, epic keyboards, and pounding drums!

“This album can easily be seen as our most ambitious work to date,” says guitarist and producer Simone Mularoni. “This time we tried to evolve to an even more personal sound. We took all the elements we developed through all these years and we tried to take them to the limit. Throughout the whole record you will hear a recurrent musical theme. Instead of doing a usual concept album with the lyrics, we decided to do a sort of musical concept with this melody that repeats in every song but every time with different time signatures and keys,” tells drummer Fabio Costantino. “This album will offer to the listener a key for a positive dimension. A path made of sound vibrations: The Passage to our dreams and hopes,” concludes bassist Andrea Arcangeli.

Evergrey singer Tom Englund and Symphony X guitarist Michael Romeo also appear as special guests tributing the value of this outstanding album. And let's not forget the great job that producer Simone Mularoni did in the studio! The future looks bright for these guys! Check them out live when they come to a town near you!

“The Passage” tracklisting includes: The Secret (Part 1); The Secret (Part 2); Animal; Ghosts Of Insanity; Fallen; The Passage; Disguise; Portrait; Daydreamer; Dogma; In Sorrow.

fighissima la copertina e anche la preview del disco!

 

Cazzo non sto nella pelle, non vedo l'ora di prendere questo disco, ogni premessa a questo nuovo capitolo dei DGM mi sembra azzeccata, in particolare la scelta di un tema ricorrente che si sviluppa in differenti sfaccettature durante il susseguirsi delle varie tracce, ma anche la scelta degli ospiti la trovo esaltante, questo agosto ho già due cd da prendere a scatola chiusa, loro e i FW... wow..

 

Video di Animal.

 

Qualche video dall'evento di ieri sera a Roverè Veronese, han fatto anche Animal per la prima volta in concerto:

Time To Rock - Wof
DGM - Void + Reason
DGM - Heartache
DGM - Animal
DGM - Hereafter

 

Azz.. sbalorditivi!!... tecnicamente ineccepibili!! complimenti!!

 

Complice il pubblico occupato a bere piuttosto che a guardare il concerto, come da tradizione veronese, ho preferito i precedenti tre eventi con loro a cui avevo partecipato.

 

Qua in streaming The secret Part 1.
