The Dark Side Of The Moon - 'The Gates Of Time' (official video)

My silent tears, falling down
The river I follow guides me
In the shadows of my doubts
A fire I can’t ignite

It doesn’t feel right
I am still paralysed
By the sound of your screams
When I see you in my dreams

Chorus
You’re away too far away
You’ve been gone so long
But the echoes of your name remain
Until this day where you belong

Through the gates of time
I’ll keep your memory alive
Away too far away
But I still wait
For your lost soul to come back to me

A piece of blade planted in my heart
All these years, I still bleed somehow
In the ocean of my cries
The oxygen I find

And one day somehow
It starts to fade out
Even though I believe
I still call your name,
I call your name in my dreams

In the shadow of a doubt
A tear drop in my eye
I am longing for a another sunrise
with you by my side

Οι The Dark Side Of The Moon σχηματίσθηκαν προ διετίας. Πρόκειται για μπάντα της οποίας ο σκοπός είναι να παρουσιάζει την "μεταλλική" εκδοχή σε μουσικά θέματα από κινηματογραφικές (κυρίως) και τηλεοπτικές ταινίες - σειρές, βιντεοπαιχνίδια κλπ.

Το συγκρότημα αποτελούν δύο μέλη των Feuerschwanz (Jenny Diehl και Hans Platz), η φωνή των Ad Infinitum (Melissa Bonny) και ο drummer των Amaranthe (Morten Løwe). Πλέον ωρίμασαν οι συνθήκες για το ντεμπούτο τους, το οποίο φέρει τον τίτλο "Metamorphosis" και έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στα μέσα του τελευταίου ανοιξιάτικου μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Who are the successors of classical composers like Mozart, Bach, Beethoven? You’ll find some of them if you listen to the themes of your favorite movies. The epic stories of Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Game of Thrones and others would be nothing without the great musical pieces which are dragging you into other worlds, luring you into parallel universes.

The Dark Side Of The Moon are taking the greatest themes of cinematography, TV shows, video games, and are transforming them into epic and powerful modern metal tracks. They take you on a musical quest from the depth of Moria up to the Iron Throne, descending into the inner core of those master pieces to search and find the beast inside.

As every human has a dark side, so has every song. You will hear musical pieces you thought you already knew in a way you wouldn’t have thought possible. Like the moon, every song has an unexplored side. This is where the band will be taking you.

It all started with a bet between Melissa and Hans. Whoever won would win a dare towards the other. Hans won and challenged Melissa do record with him a metal version of “Jenny Of Oldstones”. After hearing that one song, Napalm Records immediately signed the band to do a full album.

So the band started the epic quest of transforming their and your favorite cinematic themes into powerful metal tracks! In addition the album will also have a few songs of their own and, to make this journey even more magical, they invited some of their musician friends to join them. Expect The Dark Side Of The Moon to make interstellar waves in the metal world for eons to come...»
