www.dreamsafterdeath.com
The Dreams After Death project has started in 2010 by András Illés after his lack of success with several other musical groups. The two most significant band positions he held was singing in the Hungarian Death Tribute Band for three years and playing on keyboard in Léthe (doom/death metal) for five years (both local underground bands). András realised that he must work alone to develop his own concepts, and the talents necessary to reach real results.
The style of Dreams After Death is a mixture of atmospheric funeral doom and symphonic death metal. The project's aim is to adapt this style to his home country, Hungary, where it is relatively unpopular. Quoting Johan Ericsons, András declared his goal 'to make each record better than the previous'. He is a keyboard player and singer primarily, therefore keyboards are a strong element in the project's sound. Even though he works alone, he plays on all of the instruments in the songs, and spents a lot of time improving his knowledge in other instruments and mastering.
Some of his favorite doom bands are Shape of Despair, The Howling Void, My Dying Bride, Anathema, EA, Colosseum and Evoken. Bands from other styles include Summoning, Ákos and Dimmu Borgir.

Dreams After Death Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love and hate, a dreamy tale of destiny
You will be forgotten like everybody in your remembrance
You hope for your resurrections
And you think you will return sometimes and live.
Live in your dimension of the fake reality.
in your isolated world
The opening verse of "Funeral" by Dreams After Death speaks about the passage of time, memories, and the intertwined nature of love and hate in the form of a dreamy tale of destiny. The lyrics suggest that memories and relationships are fleeting, and eventually, everyone will be forgotten. The song speaks to a sense of seeking immortality through memories or resurrection, hinting at a fear of ceasing to exist or being forgotten entirely. The lyrics describe a world of isolation and suggest that reality is subjective- it almost sounds like questioning the value of existence itself.
The song seems to be a meditation on the inevitability of death, what legacy we leave behind, and the nature of reality itself. The overall tone of the song is melancholic, introspective, and somewhat philosophical. The lyrics suggest an intense desire to cling to life and memories, even as everything fades away.
Line by Line Meaning
So many years, many memories
You've lived a full life with lots of experiences and memories
Love and hate, a dreamy tale of destiny
Your life has been a mix of both love and hate events, all of which have ultimately been determined by fate
You will be forgotten like everybody in your remembrance
Despite all that you've experienced and accomplished, you will eventually fade away and be forgotten like everyone else in history
You hope for your resurrections
You cling to the hope that you will one day be brought back to life, perhaps through some kind of miraculous resurrection
And you think you will return sometimes and live.
You believe that there's a possibility for you to come back to life and continue living at some point in the future
Live in your dimension of the fake reality.
However, due to the inherently illusory nature of reality, any such return to life is likely to be in a world that's not entirely real or genuine
in your isolated world
Even if you do come back to life, you'll still be isolated in your own world of thoughts, dreams, and memories, cut off from everyone else's experiences and perspectives
