The original line-up was as follows;
Josรฉ A. Gallego (guitars)
Miguel Nรบรฑez (bass)
Miguel A. Serradilla (vocals)
Josรฉ F. Moscatel (guitars)
Juan A. Jimรฉnez (drums)
The quintet first demo-tape was recorded in 1996 facing great adversities. It was entitled โAutumn Overtureโ.
The track-list of this demo is as follows:
1.Autumn Overture (Intro)
2.Bleeding Soul
3.Scars
4.Smell of Incense (Tiamat cover)
5.Serenity.
This work was partly distributed by Repulse Records, a company settled in Madrid and ruled by Dave Rotten and other members of the Spanish best-known death metal act ever, Avulsed. Consequently, it reached some European and even Asian and North African and Central American countries.
The band recorded a few new songs later in 1997. Those compositions were never released, therefore, that work did not have any official title or cover artwork.
Note: The version of "Mirage" appearing in MySpace is the one recorded during those sessions and the cover can be labelled as "unofficial".
Right after the recording of those songs, internal problems leaded to a line-up change. Samuel J. became part of the ...Of Dream and Drama universe as the lead guitar, whereas Josรฉ F.M. found his way out of the band.
The new line-up got into the studio to record their third demo, โThe Forthcoming Kingdomโ in 1998.
The track-list of this demo is as follows:
1.Eonian Dreams (Intro)
2.Mirage
3.Open Frequency
4.Mesmerized (Celtic Frost cover)
5.The Moon...Erotica
This demo was also distributed by Repulse Records together with Holy Records (France). This work had an excellent acceptance among critics and listeners while the sales increased far beyond the band's expectations. An increasing number of gigs followed right after this publishing and ...Of Dream and Drama were honored with an invitation to share the stage with Avulsed in their concert in Extremadura. At that very moment, the band was at its best. A large amount of interviews for fanzines and radiostations worldwide, the interest of several labels, et cetera, came as consequence of a great work.
Unfortunately, the shadows had already doomed the band as they split up due to several internal changes.
...Of Dream and Drama recorded their last material intending to use the name "Hearse" in November 1999. That new name never happened to be used and ...Of Dream and Drama "regained" their original name.
Meanwhile, a new member, รlex Samhan, came to the "Drama" family to fill up the remaining void with his mystic keyboards notes.
Consequently, line-up was firmly established as follows:
Josรฉ A. Gallego (guitars)
Miguel Nรบรฑez (bass)
Miguel A. Serradilla (vocals)
Samuel Axelsson (guitars)
Juan A. Jimรฉnez (drums)
รlex Samhan (keys)
Those recordings were never officially released either. Nevertheless, two of those tracks were available at MySpace. One is called "To Gather Immortality" and the other "The Path". These two songs perfectly show the new direction and the efficient work the band was about to offering their fans. Even though ...Of Dream and Drama are since long ago away from stage, the band did never deny the possibility of re-recording those last songs.
Time will tell!
Scars
...Of Dream And Drama Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They're all so blind
They can't see the bloody mess
She left behind
Am I growing too big
On the side of your skin
Attached like a lesion
Scars don't fade
Tumors fade away
Cut me out with a razorblade
Throw me to the side
'Cause I know the fears in the back of my mind
One day might come true
She'll come crawling back to you
Cut right through
She's a razorblade
Carved her name
On your heart
I know the name to you
Is like salt in the wound
Punch it 'till it's black and blue
Afterall, she's still in pictures on the wall
By the stairs, but it seems that
No one really cares
Scars don't fade
Tumors fade away
Cut me out with a razorblade
Throw me to the side
'Cause I know the fears in the back of my mind
One day might come true
She'll come crawling back to you
Cut right through
She's a razorblade
Carved her name
On your heart
I want you to know that none of this was ever your fault
So please don't apologize
And I swear I will never do
The same of what she did to you
Oh I swear
I swear
Scars don't fade
Tumors fade away
Cut me out with a razorblade
Throw me to the side
'Cause I know the fears in the back of my mind
One day might come true
She'll come crawling back to you
Cut right through
She's a razorblade
Carved her name
On your heart
The lyrics of Scars by ...Of Dream And Drama paint a picture of a person, whose mind is in turmoil and they seek guidance from angelic entities. The use of the phrase "sacred land" could suggest that the person is searching for a peaceful state of mind within themselves. However, their thoughts are chaotic, fractal, and unknown to them, perhaps hinting that they are scared of their own mind, and the unknown thoughts that lie within. They are experiencing mental boundaries, which are causing them to collapse, and the use of the phrase "draconic lips of mine" could suggest inner turmoil or the fact that they are metaphorically "biting their tongue" to not reveal their true thoughts or feelings.
The person seems to be seeking a way to cleanse themselves of their affliction. The repetition of the words "Kill my flesh, kill my skin, cure my sore, cure my belief" could be interpreted as a desire to rid themselves of their physical body and their beliefs, to be free of the burden of their existence. They seem to be willing to sacrifice themselves to achieve this, asking for an angel to take them to their "sacred land". The notion of wearing a willow, a symbol of mourning, suggests that the person is in immense pain or suffering. The final line of the chorus, "crowned with thorns", is a biblical reference to the crown of thorns placed on the head of Jesus during his crucifixion, which could suggest that the person is experiencing immense suffering.

And grieve for what I've lost - a mournful eye
To mourn what has been taken away, expressing sorrow with teary eyes.

My longing for existence is expressed through nighttime devotion and worship.
I sentence myself - a wilful execution

Disclaiming innocence indeed
Denying any wrongdoing or fault.
O'angel find their sacred land in mine
Divine entities seek a holy space within me.
What they have never dared to be
What they have never been courageous enough to become.
Where they can be what they greed
Where they can fulfill their desires and aspirations.
For they can still make me believe
Because they can still inspire my faith.
For they have crowned me ......
Because they have bestowed upon me the status of...
......Crowned with thorns
......someone who is suffering and in pain.
