…or else an album that will send chills up your spine with every note for 64 minutes

Grau_im_lichtMy personal opinion is that there can be as many music genres as there are people on this planet. There is a myriad of emotions that are generated to each one of us when listening to good music and especially when watching an engaging performer on stage. I have found that, darkwave music has a ‘hard to beat’ empowering effect. Listening to good darkwave music makes me think that the things that are hard to achieve in life, are possible and it makes me remember that the most important thing to have in life is determination. I made this introduction because in short, this is exactly what I feel each time I listen to an album by Diary of Dreams and especially when I listen to ‘Grau Im Licht’. This is the 12th album of the band which, since 1994 (release of first album ‘Cholymelan’) has been synonymous to darkwave music. The heart and soul of the band, takes the form of a strong and engaging performer, Adrian Hates. Throughout the years  Gaun:A is playing powerful melodies on the electric guitar, while various guest musicians usually join the band on stage and provide backing vocals in some of the songs.In this album Dejan Nikolic is behind the drums and Flex at the bass.

Just a year ago Diary Of Dreams released ‘Elegies In Darkness’ an album that made reference to favourite songs from almost all the previous releases of the band. If someone would like to describe darkwave genre, then the music of Diary Of Dreams should definitely be the starting point. The previous album was full with all the elements that define the sound and the character of this band. Motivating danceable electro rhythms and vocals that are making a statement about confidence, Grau_im_lichtdetermination and dynamism. Industrial aesthetics, carefully placed melodies within each song and an atmosphere that brings to mind the soundtrack of war and battle scenes in adventure movies. Adrian Hates is breathing life into all these elements in such a convincing and engaging manner that after listening to each album by the band, one feels stronger as a person! 

The artwork of all of the band’s albums has made such an impact that it has acquired the same importance as the titles of these albums. It is safe to say that even is one couldn’t remember the title of an album he/she would definitely remember the album’s cover! I have seen the band perform live many times in Germany, in Greece and in London and I always found it interesting when the make up on stage, was (most of the times) transferring to the audience some of the aesthetics of the albums’ covers.
