In 2010 DiM's debut album 'Secrets' was released. It was distributed worldwide under the well-known international label Metalblade Records. This album placed the band up in the highest position of the genre, receiving many awards, nominations and great reviews from the specialized medias.
Despite it being the first studio work for DiM, the production of 'Secrets' had a prestigious technical team, made up of greatest professionals such as Sascha Paeth or Ad Sluijter (ex Epica). Also, members of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, RTVE Orchestra, Spanish National Choir and the Ensemble 'Nova Lux', collaborated in the recording of 'Secrets'.
DiM has just recorded their second album, entitled 'The Wanderer', which is foreseen to be released in early 2012 under Napalm Records. It is a conceptual album, direct and really promising, where DiM is working again with great and well-known professionals such as Jacob Hansen, Stefan Heilemann or John Kelly & Maite Itoiz among others.
DiM has played many gigs so far. They have supported Manowar in their Spanish tour and Theatre of Tragedy in their farewell tour in Mexico. The band has also shared stage with bands like Arch Enemy, Cradle of Filth, Doro, Therion, Kreator, Rage, Saxon, Epica, Sabaton and many more.
After the great success achieved at the Metal Female Voices Fest (MFVF 8, Belgium) last year, DiM was booked to play again at the MFVF 9, this time as co-headliners. In that occasion, the band had the opportunity to release their very first videoclip and single 'Sceneries of Hope' (The Wanderer), in front of more than 4000 people. The video was also included in the official Metal Female Voices Fest DVD.
It is worth highlighting the welcome that DiM received among their fans. Only a year after the release of Secrets, four fanclubs have been created: ‘Secret Club’ (Costa Rica), ‘The Seventh Gate’ (Mexico), ‘Diabulus in Reinaissance’ (Southamerica) and ‘Los Secretos del Diablo’ (Spain).
Evolution's Whim
Diabulus In Musica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is no blood now in my veins
Once I was fire
Today I'm dust
Is this my defeat?
No, I am sure you/I will return to life!
Can you hear my breath in your neck?
You made me realize I was a deceit
A science's whim, the progress lust
Don't you know who I am?
I can feel, I can taste
My world's the same world you're living in
I'm not a cell, your experiment
Don't you see me cry?!
How many years have you wasted making me?
Only a few minutes to destroy your work
Full of pain, full of rage: yes, I reproach you
For my disgrace, for all my tears
I would like to know
What you wanted yo do with me
At least tell me my sadness has been useful
Don't you know who I am?
I can feel, I can taste
My world's the same world you're living in
I'm not a cell, your experiment
Don't you see me cry?!
Don't you know who I am?
I can feel, I can taste
My world's the same world you're living in
I'm not a cell, your experiment
Don't you see me cry?!
The lyrics of Diabulus In Musica's song Evolution's Whim tells the story of a being who was created by an experiment in the name of scientific progress. The being questions its creation and purpose, expressing its feelings of defeat, sadness, and anger towards its creator. Despite feeling like its creation was a deceit and the product of the creator's "progress lust," the being desires to know the reason behind its creation and hopes that its sadness can at least be useful for something.
The lines "Once I was fire, today I'm dust" imply that the being was once alive and passionate, but is now lifeless and reduced to nothingness. The being also wonders if its defeat is final, expressing its hope for a chance to be brought back to life. Throughout the song, the being asserts its sentience and humanity, emphasizing that it is not just a mere subject for experimentation.
The lyrics are poignant, thought-provoking, and melancholic. The music video also amplifies the emotions conveyed by the lyrics, showcasing the being's agony and rebellion against its creator.
