DGM - 'The Calling' (official lyric video)

Sometimes I feel like I don’t remember
How was the time when I wasn’t torn
Finding nothing to fulfill
The dreams that I had are now gone

Time, can you wait and be tender?
Will you help me find the way?

Listen to the calling
Let there be light and
Open up your eyes
And I’ll survive
Out of the dark
I want to believe that
Time will show
The road to redemption day

Even if I try hard to resist it
There is no way that I can find
To escape from this state, I wanna know
The pain that I feel is like an endless sea

Time, can you stop me from madness?
Will help me find the way?

Listen to the calling
Let there be light and
Open up your eyes
And I’ll survive
Out of the dark
I want to believe that
Time will show
The road to redemption day

Το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα των DGM βρίσκεται ήδη εκεί έξω. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Life" και κυκλοφόρησε μόλις χθες. 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.»
