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.

DGM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching into your memories
Take a journey search for life (should be)
I'm in a dreamland
No pain no sorrow anyway
I'm not the same now
Everything will rise around your head
Everytime over and over again
Lost in what you'll never know
Help me to tear down the wall
Why can't you hear me?
I'm the answer you're waiting for
Lost in what you'll never know
Help me to tear down the wall
Why can't you hear me?
I'm not the same anymore
There's a place for everyone
There's a light into the dark
Break your chains to be alive
I'm in a wasteland
I know the frailness
That you feel inside your heart
Rising from the ground
For your face I search
To take me to the place where I belong
But time is not enough
And I'm crawling on the floor
Help this restless soul to find
What I'm searching for
"Dreamland" is a song that seems to focus on someone who is lost and searching for answers within their memories. The lyrics suggest that this person is struggling to find their place in life and is feeling lost and disconnected. The overall tone of the song is one of desperation, as the singer pleads for help in finding their way.
The chorus of the song, "I'm in a dreamland, no pain, no sorrow anyway, I'm not the same now, rising from the ground," implies that the singer has entered a state of escapism where they are no longer feeling the pain and sorrow of reality. They have entered into a dream state where they can rise above their problems and find a sense of liberation. However, the verses suggest that the singer is still lost and searching for answers.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer is calling out for help in tearing down walls and breaking free from chains that are holding them back. The motif of rising from the ground also reflects a desire to leave behind old ways of thinking and to start anew. In the end, the singer is still searching for guidance and direction, as they crawl on the floor in search of answers.
