As for comparisons, they sit comfortably with the likes of Dream Theater, Symphony X and Vanden Plas. They went through a series of personnel changes and at last count, the band consisted of vocalist Titta Tani, guitarist Diego Reali, bassist Andrea Arcangeli, drummer Fabio Costantino and keyboard player Fabio Sanges. They have released six studio albums since 1994, including a mini cd.

Their best material can be found on their later albums "Wings of Time (1999), "Dreamland" (2001) and "Hidden Place" (2003). All three feature excellent melodic progressive-metal, great musicianship, walls of keyboards and some powerful and catchy vocals from Titta Tani. It is still too early to comment on their latest cd "Misplaced" (2004), as it had just been released at the time this bio was written.

Aggressive, melodic and progressive, DGM is a fun progressive-metal band with a pleasant neo-classical flavor. Their material will certainly appeal to fans of Dream Theater, Symphony X and Vanden Plas.

Void
DGM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Struggling with my inner thoughts
Is it worth or it means nothing?
Should I run the distance between both?

The answers set my soul on fire
A weight I can't bear anymore

If I'd still recall those feelings forgotten

It's all I could do again
To find my way, to find it, find it

And time won't answer the questions
(Questions left)
Search for it somewhere else
Blindly believe then is all I can do
I'm filling the void this life puts me through
Filling the void

Hard to pretend a simple life
I've been told to transcend, I will always
Remember or shall I rely on my pure desire to
To find out the reason to live this way

If I'd still recall
Those feelings forgotten
It's all I could do to find
To find my way, to find it, find it

And time won't answer the questions
(Questions left)
Search for it somewhere else
Blindly believe then is all I can do
I'm filling the void this life puts me through
Feel the void

To find my way, to find it, find it

And time won't answer the questions
(Questions left)
Search for it somewhere else
Blindly believe then is all I can do

I'm filling the void this life puts me through
I'm filling the void!
