“Elegies in Darkness” is the title of the 11th studio album by Diary of Dreams, and the name speaks for itself – the new work couldn’t have been deeper, darker, more organic or more melancholic. All the time, it feels familiar to be lead through the dark compositions of this apocalyptic epic, and yet there’s always the sense of some kind of hope within the darkness, some positive thought, some sincerity. Lyric-wise, four songs come with German words while the rest are in English, and they lead the way through an incredibly eclectic album, mindfully produced with great care for detail – small wonder that it took the band three years to come up with this spectacular masterpiece! But it definitely has been worth the wait …

You’ll dip into deep and viscous soundscapes strengthened by big choirs and massive orchestras, but also into pounding rhythms, touching ballads, pulsating club hymns and apocalyptic grooves. The album thrives on its variety, diversification, power, dynamics, fragility and last but not least on the experience that defines every single note. Adrian Hates – the charismatic voice and song writer of the band – was particularly keen to make sure that the album he calls EiD wasn’t composed within a higher, conceptual setting: he wanted to create an individual history for every track and provide these singular pieces with a common headline to connect and unify them. This work is emotionally song-orientated, while the compositions of the album have a strong connection to each other.

In contrast to the previous record, guitars have reclaimed the role they typically had with Diary of Dreams before: sometimes you don’t even realize that the unusual sounds you’re hearing are brought forth by guitar strings, sometimes they are responsible for the power and dominance of a track, and sometimes they provide the delicate and tender melodies melting skillfully into the whole soundscape. The overwhelming co-existence of synthetic sounds and classical stylistics has always been the main attraction that provides the unusual and extraordinary characteristics of Diary of Dreams. As, without doubt, this new album proves once again.

The band has played more than 500 concerts in 36 different countries … there are only a few bands who can claim such a history, and Diary of Dreams have every right to do so: They live their dream … as darkly beautiful and melancholy it may be.

4 years later, we're back..

And like you, we’ve been absorbing this soul-searching time of tumult. It’s moved us to finish some thoughts that’ve been bubbling for some time now. 

They say the arc of the moral universe bends, but it doesn’t. it is bent. By us all. Everyday.

We’re making fleeting choices each day to speak out or not against injustices, and every time a new voice of resistance is heard, it's another victory. 

People everywhere are rallying against the forces of physical, mental and social inertia to rise from warrior-worn armchairs and fight for a more beautiful world. The streets are filling up.

Let's go from seat to street, from the supine safety of somewhere to taking risks in solidarity, raise our heads above the trenches as one. 

Now is not the time to let shit slide. Don't let it lay.

This is the first of a series of new tracks, culminating in The End Of Fear EP in May 2019.

Lyrics

I don’t know about you, friend,
or your futile fight
and i don’t know about your blue or how you
try as you might in the tv light again

But the weight of water
and the safety of our sun
pulls us down
its pulling on each and everyone 
pulling on each and every one here

Now these are crimes of passion
with our red hands in the dirt
just trying to get out from behind the rock 
to get hurt.

am i gonna let it lay?
no i won’t let it lay

When did we stop learning lessons
of that which we strive?
The essence of acquiescence is
in your supine eyes
when you sip the wine
but its cool, man, no it's fine yeah

the weight of water
and the safety of our sun
pulls us down
its pulling on each and everyone here
pulling on each and every one here

These are crimes of passion
with our red hands in the dirt
now its time to get our from behind the rock and get hurt.

 I won’t let it lay
i won't let it lay
nothing here can’t change
the futures here to stay
its never gonna be the same 
but you gotta wanna be the change

These are crimes of passion
with our red hands in the dirt
just trying to get out from behind the rock to get hurt.

am i gonna let it lay?
oh am i gonna let it lay?
 
Love will change the world around you
under clouds, over horizons
even in your silent hours     
beyond where all darkness flowers

I can not
