Darzamat

Darzamat是一支成立于1995年的波蘭樂隊，古斯拉夫寓言認(rèn)為Darzamat是所有花園和森林的保衛(wèi)者。樂隊的風(fēng)格大致可以分為二個階段：早期樂隊以歌特交響金屬為框架，融合了搖滾，金屬，哥特，民謠或者是古典音樂的元素。Katarzyna Banaszak溫柔的女高音使音樂充滿詩意的幻想，像一副色彩斑瀾的中世紀(jì)風(fēng)情畫。后期在Katarzyna Banaszak離隊后，代替她的是Karolina Widera。Karolina Widera的嗓音充滿原始性的張力，樂隊風(fēng)格逐漸趨于統(tǒng)一，以交響黑金為主，音樂變得更加有棱有角，鋒芒畢露。
 
總體來說，Darzamat的音樂風(fēng)格怎么樣變化，他們的專輯整體性很強(qiáng)，交響樂穿插其中甚是精彩。音樂風(fēng)格有鮮明的個人特色，并具有相當(dāng)強(qiáng)的藝術(shù)感染力。歌曲中有著最原始的凄美和壓迫感，能讓人從靈魂深處感到莫名的顫栗。
 
There are really few bands which can combine various musical kinds. Darzamat is very best at it and has been doing it since the moment it appeared on the musical stage, so already for as long as 14 years.
 
The musical source of the band lies in symphonic metal. However, with every new record Darzamat has interlaced various new elements, creating this way the style characteristic for itself. Joining different stylistics and sorts of metal, the band has not forgotten, however, about the atmosphere of dusk being very close to the band. The band owes its name to the Slavonic mythology where Darzamat is a deity protecting and guarding gardens and forests. This very symbolism is permanently present in band's compositions and melts into their musical creation on the textual, musical as well as visual level.
 
After releasing the two albums &In Flames of Black Art&(1997), &Oniriad&(2003) as well as MCD &In the Opium of Black Veil&(1999), in year 2003 the band underwent the personal revolution. Only the vocalist Flauros remained from the initial lineup. It was in those times when the core of Darzamat came into being, which apart from Flauros is constituted by the vocalist Nera, the guitar player Chris and the keyboard player Spectre. With the record &Semidevilish&(2004), Darzamat began the new stage in its history. The fresh material neatly combined black and death metal with the dusky atmosphere characteristic of a band.
 
Yet, what appeared to be a huge musical leap in the band's history was the fourth album entitled &Transkarpatia&(2005). What had a great impact on this success was undoubtedly the album's producer, namely Andy La Rocque, the guitar player of the cult King Diamond. Thanks to the work in the Swedish &Los Angered Recording&, the album gained a surprizing selectivity as well as the power of each and every instrument's sound. The positive reception of Darzamat's music resulted in multitudinous invitations on concerts. During short time the band presented itself on various European festivals (&Rock Harz Open Air&, &Wave Gothic Treffen&, &Hard Rock Laager&, &S-Hammer Festival&, &Last Night on Earth&, &Dong Open Air&, &Moscow After Midnight& or &Metal Head Mission&). Apart from the concerts in Poland, Darzamat appeared also on the stages in Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Estonia, Czech Republic and Slovakia.
 
At the beginning of 2007 the band performed on the German Winternachtstraum Festival and a month later in front of a nearly six-thousand audience during the XXI edition of the cult festival Metalmania. Both the concerts were registered for the needs of the first oficial DVD album &Life Profanity(Visiting the Graves of Heretics)&, which in the half of the year 2007 was released both in Europe and in USA.
 
In April 2009 Darzamat has inked a worldwide deal with German Massacre Records. The group’s fifth album „Solfernus’ Path” is scheduled for release on August 28th. In Japan album will be released by Spiritual Beast. “Solfernus’ Path” is the first concept album in band’s history.
In the area of & Solfernus' Path& 's promotion band played ten shows during the Polish tour as well as it performed inter alia in Mexico and Belgium for & Metal Female Voices Festival&.
 
Meanwhile,the female vocalist of Darzamat made her solo album under the signboard NeraNature that will be released by the Polish Metal Mind Production in May 2011.In her solo face Nera presents quite gentler music, which can qualify with name of atmospheric rock and metal. However part of other Darzamat's musicans have reactivated black metal band Mastiphal which after 10 years of break has come back on scene with a new album entitled &Parvzya&.
