1988 is more than an album—it’s a time machine back to the glory days when heavy metal ruled the airwaves, the stage, and our hearts. From 1980 to 1989, a generation of denim-clad dreamers and leather-bound rebels forged anthems that would echo through eternity. This project is a loud, unapologetic celebration of that golden decade—of pounding drums, screaming guitars, and the brotherhood of true metal fans.

Every song on 1988 is a salute to the legends who inspired us, and a rallying cry to all who still carry the torch. Turn it up, feel the power, and remember: metal never dies—it only gets louder.

1988

The candle trembles,  
Your name burns like smoke in the rafters.  
Xoltar — prophet of the shattered glass future,  
Eyes like rusted coins,  
Mouth like a cathedral bell ringing backwards.  

Xoltar Speaks

Gothic metal horror inspired by the real asylums - Trans-Allegheny, Danvers, Willowbrook. These weren't hospitals, they were human warehouses. "They called it treatment" while performing lobotomies with ice picks and electroshock without anesthesia.
130 BPM in A minor with doom-heavy foundation. Cathedral-sized sound for institutional horror. For fans of Paradise Lost, Type O Negative, Moonspell.

Halls of Madness

Overdose

Stryva is a high-octane anthem fusing heavy guitars, vinyl scratches, and a powerful male-female duet. Bursting with rebellious energy and motivational fire, it’s built to ignite adrenaline and light up epic AMV moments.

AshWard - Stryva

We do this because we have to. We do this because we are compelled. Watchmen is awesome. Alan Moore is a genius. Rorschach is my hero.

Compelled alternate version

Any Kind of Love is a quiet, powerful tribute to imperfect connection — a collection of songs that embrace the beauty in brokenness, the strength in vulnerability, and the hope that flickers even in the darkest places.

Blending emotional lyricism with raw, intimate melodies, the album speaks to the unspoken—grief, longing, healing, and the courage it takes to be seen. These are anthems for the wounded heart, for those who still believe that love, in any form, is proof we’re alive.

Even cracked. Even scarred. Still love.

Alive

Under My Boot

Under My Boot (ft. Stei Camel)

Breaking Me Down

They shake your hand, they wink and smile
Sellin’ lust and lies in every aisle
Politicians in their fancy suits
But we’re the sheep that follow their boots

Money, power, sex on display
We cheer them on, yeah we pay to play!

Sheep in suits, dancing for the crown
We bang our heads while they tear it down
Sheep in suits, we lick their boots
Love, sex, and power… follow the loot!


Backroom deals and cocktail thrills
Hot blondes, red wine, political kills
We all nod, we all obey
Chasing pleasure, while they make the play


Money, power, sex on display
We cheer them on, yeah we pay to play!


Sheep in suits, dancing for the crown
We bang our heads while they tear it down
Sheep in suits, we lick their boots
Love, sex, and power… follow the loot!


Raise your glass, bite your lip
Power’s a game, we all trip
In bed, in streets, on the floor
The world’s a stage, we beg for more


Sheep in suits, dancing for the crown
We bang our heads while they tear it down
Sheep in suits, we lick their boots
Love, sex, and power… follow the loot!


Follow… the loot… (bang your head…)
Sheep… in suits… (never stop…)
Love… and power… (scream it loud…)

Chaos Carousel

Uprising

“Firetongue Cathedral” is a blazing fusion of retro British rock swagger and psychedelic arena power. Thunderous drums, molten guitars, and spectral choirs collide in a cathedral-sized soundscape. Iron Wake delivers a cinematic rock anthem filled with fire, shadows, and rising energy — a song about burning away the dark and finding your voice in the flames.

Firetongue Cathedral

This album is a minimalist theatrical song cycle exploring ambition, self-doubt, longing, and the moment of inner arrival. Blending contemporary Broadway emotion with Philip Glass–inspired repetition and modern cinematic pop, these tracks trace the psychology of desire—from endless wanting, to self-sabotage, to the quiet power of feeling whole.

Written for high, exposed male voices (countertenor and male soprano), the songs move through hypnotic piano patterns, gradual orchestral builds, and restrained anthemic releases. Rather than chasing spectacle, the album builds intensity through repetition, incremental change, and emotional accumulation—turning questions into declarations and longing into integration.

This is music for those who have chased dreams, achieved them, dismantled them out of fear, and finally asked what remains when the chase stops. Intimate, obsessive, luminous, and unresolved, the album lives at the intersection of musical theatre, minimalist composition, and modern confessional pop.

Founded in the late 2020s by guitarist and composer Daniele Pasquali, DP Legacy Records isn’t just any label — it’s a full-blown rebellion with a mixing board. Born as a scrappy underground project, it gave local bands a stage when the rest of the world said, “Nope.” Today, it’s the bridge between vinyl nostalgia and streaming chaos, producing rock and metal records that hit harder than your morning espresso.

With artists like Panacea, Steel Riot, and The Scourge, DP Legacy keeps the ’90s spirit alive, proving that rock isn’t just music — it’s a lifestyle, a legacy, and occasionally a well-aimed middle finger to the mainstream.

Motto: “Rock is not just music – it’s a legacy.”
