Italian progressive metal unit DGM released their eleventh studio album, "Life," on November 17th, 2023, via Frontiers Records. The follow-up to the band’s 2020 excellent outing, "Tragic Separation," delivers pretty much everything expected from a DGM record and raises the question: why is this band so underrated? With “Life” the band around Simone Mularoni proves once again that they belong on the same list as Dream Theater or Symphony X.
All the trademark elements of DGM’s sound can be found in this new album with sweeping choruses, technical passages, lightning-fast fretwork, big vocals and bombastic transitions, but the care and the dedication to the songwriting emerges in phenomenal songs which carefully encompass everything that goes from the heaviest progressive metal to a more classic hard rock sound. The playing is faultless as usual and the melodies are perfectly woven into the killer guitars, epic keyboards, and pounding drums. The line-up is more gelled and cohesive than ever but a special mention goes, beyond Mularoni’s personal guitar playing, to singer Mark Basile who truly dominates the musical material like a helmsman on a stormy night.
