Tales of the Mad King, is not a simple title. A complex concept is brought into an epic sound that defies you to put your own conclusion to the table and decrypt what is D.A.M and what we brought into this album. Well, to be fair here goes a hint: it could be a whole new universe that dissolves the imaginary of a human being translucid into an decaying reality. There is no truth or lies, once he shall not know what is in his mind or in his hand, but as always... the mind is playing tricks to his desires, emotions and seek of what is real. Once that said, we shall ask you: is this your reality or simply your imagination? Unveil what you eyes can see and in every detail a new concept may be hidden waiting to be discovered. What some people say about us and our album: "All 12 tracks were crafted with the perfect blending of the Melodic Death Metal with Classical Music" (Guilherme Niehues) - Horns UP Brazil "One of the best brazilian heavy metal´s representatives.

That´s how I see the band D.A.M from Belo Horizonte/MG. The band makes a precise balance between heavy textures, with agressivity and melody and also I can hear some classical influencies between the “The slap in the face” they give us. A strong voice, with an precise rhythm section along the songs and always well placed keyboards. The voice truly delight those who likes something more punchy and with attitude. I can also recognize a darkness and virtuous side with lot of emotions and sounding heavy at same time. D.A.M will surely obtain easily their space with the new upcoming album. There´s a lot of potential in the band´s work and I truly hope that recognition will be their prize for constructing with consistency a work that fills with Pride our national heavy metal scene” (Vanderley Carvalho Rocha) Owner at Quality Music Web Radio “When you hear a band and absorb through their sound not only their influencies, but also their inspiration and the hard work of the members, them you are absolutely sure that the band is ready and do their job in the way rock and metal always was made: with innovation.

Looking forward to the album “ (Marwin Wissing)- Melodic Death Metal fan from Netherlands
