It began in La Belle Province's Capital (Quebec City) where Daedalean Complex was born in late 2007. Creating heavy music with a fusion of industrial and electronic overtones, the group was labeled by its fans as "Canada's cult goth-metal act".
Only three months after the band's formation the demand for their music was so large they had sold out their first show at "Le Temps Partiel", a local legendary alternative club. Six months later, their first album was released and sold out twice throughout the following year.
All this heigthened in 2010 when Daedalean Complex played at the 2nd Skin Rock Contest presented by Budweiser and Rogers: the biggest live music contest in Canada. As the only metal band to reach the final 4 bands (out of 48 bands selected to perform), the band had the effect of an electroshock to the 1200 persons attending.
Ever since then, crowds are falling for the band’s live intensity, their melodic and catchy tunes yet dark and heavy sound as well as their highly developped theatrical style, gaining new fans by the minute all around the world.
After a succesful tour in Eastern Canada, the band is now looking forward to release their long-awaited second album. Sure to make huge a impression, it is an event you do not want to miss as even musicians and promoters are praising the band’s hard work and professionalism.
Yes, Daedalean Complex were proven worthy of spreading their art to the masses.

Daedalean Complex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Obsessed, I'm yours to extol
Kneel down, you're losing control
Progress, the Chrysalis' Toll
We are synthetic souls
Slipping further away from us
Human condition is lost in it's lust
Began rendition of lusus naturae
Rising above traces of red
The damned's attrition no more will be fed
Our fangs, our claws, our wings widespread
Behold a nation, millions of undead
Battling under the sign of sixes
Daemons completion throughout impiety
Our lives taken, a hearbeat races
This desperation no more we will see
The lyrics of Daedalean Complex's song "Chrysalis" portray a theme of transformation where the singer of the song is encouraging their loved one to embrace the metamorphosis and the changes that come with it. The first stanza speaks of the intertwined souls of two people, with one becoming obsessed with the other to the point that the latter loses control. The second stanza talks about humans losing themselves to their desires and how they have begun to transform into something not of their natural state. The phrase "lusus naturae" means a "freak of nature," which describes the singer's transformation that they are encouraging their loved one to undertake.
The next stanza describes the transformation with imagery of wings, claws, and fangs, transforming into a new nation of undead. This transformation is a battle, as represented by the "sign of sixes" in the next line, referring to the number often associated with the devil. The singer is urging their love to come forward and join them, to complete their transformation together.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a desire for transformation and leaving behind typical human desires and conditions. The song speaks to a desire to shed old skin and embrace a new, unfamiliar form, which isn't necessarily to be feared, but rather should be embraced.
