DGM - 'To The Core' (official music video)

I just wanna know
If there’s something more
Unfolding all the secrets
That are soaring through the storm

Finding the strength within me
It’s not easy as I thought
Take control
And fight another day

Look deep within
And unveil all the mysteries
Find some hope in this life full of sorrow

Down to the core
If you’re searching for an answer
Don’t look the other way
And forevermore
You’ll escape from the cage of your blackness

I still need to know
How to overcome
The fears I have experienced
Since the day that I was born

As we advance
In life it becomes
Harder to let go
Run and live the moment
Fight another day

Search deep within
Try to dig down into your dreams
Finding hope in this life of sorrow

Down to the core
If you’re searching for an answer
Don’t look the other way
And forevermore
You’ll escape from the cage of your blackness

Το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα των DGM βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Life" και αναμένεται στα μέσα τελευταίου φθινοπωρινού μήνα. Πρόκειται για τον ενδέκατο "ολοκληρωμένο" στουντιακό δίσκο των Ιταλών progsters, οι οποίοι δισκογραφούν ανελλιπώς από τα μέσα της δεκαετίας του ενενήντα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Italian progressive metal masters DGM will release their long awaited 11th studio album, “Life” this November.

It follows the band’s acclaimed release of “Tragic Separation” in 2020. “Life” comes as the culmination of 2 years work in which the band’s mainman Simone Mularoni, wrote a wealth of musical material from which the songs that compose “Life” were chosen.

The songs show clearly the desire to push the band beyond any previous boundaries and to build more of their own personal identity and approach. Truly, no small feat given the band’s catalog!

All the trademark elements of DGM’s sound can be found in this new album with sweeping choruses, technical passages, lightning fast fretwork, big vocals and bombastic transitions, but the care and the dedication to the songwriting emerges in phenomenal songs which carefully encompass everything that goes from Symphony X to a more classic hard rock sound.

The playing is faultless as usual and the melodies are perfectly woven into the killer guitars, epic keyboards, and pounding drums. The line-up is more gelled and cohesive than ever but a special mention goes, beyond Mularoni’s pyrotechnic guitar playing, to singer Mark Basile who truly dominates the musical material like a helmsman on a stormy night.

Simply outstanding! Watch out for DGM, they are not only Italy’s finest, but an absolute astounding force to be reckoned with in the international Progressive Metal scene and with “Life” they offer their listeners their most fast and heavy, dense and intense, platter of progressive power metal to date. DGM are planning a European tour in support of the album’s release. Dates will be announced in due course.»
