Back online, new website

As you may have noticed, our website was first down, and then hacked, for well over a year. But now we’re back! We also took the occasion to update our site to a more modern look. Hope you like it.

With love from the boys.

YouTube channel started

We decided to become a little more 2018 🙂 and put our songs on YouTube. Remember to subscribe, and hit the bell to recieve notifications of new content!

The plan is to premiere one song at a time in chronological order, and then collect them in playlists corresponding to our albums. Nothing fancy – just the songs, lyrics, some live footage, and photos of smooth faces. 😉

So far we have uploaded all the songs for Life Anthem:

Peace out.

Song release: Decadence

Happy birthday, Mikael Nyblom! We celebrate our lead vocalist by releasing a new song. Mikael: “This is the best birthday present ever! For some other birthday in the future I wish myself a live gig for a large audience that loves us.” 🙂

This song features our second-ever duet between Magnus and Mikael, Hanson-esque backing vocals, lots of rain, and the most adorable little doggy. Yes, we are comfortable it will take you for a ride. 😉 Enjoy.

Love,
DLTD

(P.S. And who knows – there might be song releases for Magnus Borgström and Mikael Drackner’s birthdays too!)

Song release: SymPathetic

We have the pleasure of presenting to you our latest song: SymPathetic.

We think it progresses very nicely from Jazz to Industrial Metal. Yeah, you read that right. 😉

Enjoy!

Love,

Happy Isolational Bailando Year

For this holiday at a social distance, we dug up a rare item for you from the sound archives. This is a song that we did for shits and giggles at a live gig over 15 years ago. We hope that it might give you a good laugh or a least put a smile on your face towards the end of this clusterf*ck of a year. Or a smirk. If you smirk, that’s fine too.

Disclaimer 1: This is a demo (or even a pre-demo) recording, without much thought given to mixing, re-recording, and most certainly not mastering. Expect it to sound like one.

Disclaimer 2: It’s obviously a cover, released without kind permission. The moment any copyright gnargoyle rears its ugly mug we’re pulling it from the web for good – so make sure you download it before that happens. 😉

And with this, we wish you all a truly Happy New Year. No, really.

Love,
DLTD

Song release: Addiction

We are very proud to present our latest song, Addiction. This is an unusually (for us) straightforward Metal song, and features the potentially thrashiest riff we’ve ever written.

Trivia: the song features the Serenity Prayer, and it is the 30th song we’ve released since the band was founded.

In any case, we hope you enjoy it.

Love,
DLTD

Song release: Dreamtime Congregation

Dear all,

Today we have the pleasure of presenting something extra special to you.

This is a song that we have been working on, to and fro, for a little over 20 years. Yeah, you read that right — we first started working on it during the previous millennium.

This is not your standard off-the-shelf hit song. It is a progressive monstrosity that grinds and churns for over 8 minutes, and that features Ethnic elements and non-fiction literary quotes. Eclectic? We say yes. Pretentious? You decide. Either way, we recommend focused listening, loud volume and good earphones.

So without further ado, we bring you…

Shoutouts to Peter Wildoer for the inspiration to the polymetric 3:2 beat of the intro, to our former bass guitarist Ulf Nyberg for the initial riff, and to A. P. Elkin, Gary Snyder, Emma Bramwell, and “Friedrich the Madman” for the quotes.

Peace out,
DLTD

Welcome to The Edge of Sanity

We promised there would be two songs released during 2017, and here is the second one. We call it The Edge of Sanity.

Please enjoy, and please don’t tell anyone we did this. 😉 Happy holidays!

(On a side note, Mikael Nyblom is the same person as Mikael Antic – he just got married and changed his name.)

Love,
DLTD

Vegas!

Dear all, meet Mr Vegas.

We’d say this is the most Gothic-esque song we’ve released since … say, Letters for Jennie. Maybe even since As For You. But you know us – we just can’t stick to one style. 😉 Enjoy.

With love from the boys,
DLTD

Ominous!

Ladies and gentlemen, we give you…

The song was supposed to be released before Christmas, but before we could do the final mastering the computer crashed & burned. Luckily things could be salvaged and we’re very happy about that — because this is probably the coolest song we’ve ever released. We hope you’ll enjoy it.

Love,
DLTD
