Album
Darzamat which had left earlier conception of music, today presents hard to classificate music. "Oniriad" stylistic is very versatile. On this record you may find few compositions, which refered to old Darzamat style, but most songs are in different side. You may find here such styles as rock, metal, gothic, ambient, folk or classic. Lyrical side of record is very connected
with music and refer to oniristic subject. But dreams are mostly them of lyrics.
Biography
Darzamat was found on the beginning of 1995 by Rafal "Flauros" Góral and Szymon Struzek, Mastiphal musicians at the time. Ancient slavic faith says thad Darzamat was guardian of all gardens and woods. By the time of recording debut album, Katarzyna Banaszak joined the group and recorded vocals with Flauros. On the first album besides programing drums and keyboard Struzek recorded bass and guitar lines. The album "In the flames of black art", which included eight compositions, was recorded in summer of 1996 in "Cyber Studio" - Katowice. Several months later it showed up by polish Faithless Production from Bydgoszcz. Group has been called by press as black symphony, despite of calling themselves black art group. By a lot of metal magazines album has been noticed as very good. Despite of propositions signing contracts with german Massacare Records, italian Avantgarde Music and dutch Displeased Records, Darzamat decided themselves
to stay under Faithless Production wings. In sumer 1997 ex-Dragon drumer Krystian "Bomba" Bytom and guitarist Damian "Daamr" Kowalski joined the band. In winter 1998 musicians once again entered Cyber Studio to record second album called "In the opium of black veil" which included five songs. In 2002 polish label Metal Mind Productions released reedition of these albums. In 1999 the band signed two-record contract with Avangarde Music. But preparing new material took two years. The main reason why it took so long was that the group has been organising their own studio. Today the band has their own studio in which they made last album "Oniriad". Five months work in "Post Street" studio has brought 42 minutes of music which is nine compositions. The band had personals problems too. By the time while "Oniriad" has been preparing, Kowalski had left band and had create his own project called Eclipse. Pawel Chudzicki known as Mastiphal musician, joined the group. After recording "Oniriad" Katarzyna Banaszak left Darzamat and gone to USA. She had been replaced by Karolina Widera. In this days "Oniriad" became relased by Avantgarde Music and Metal Mind Productions (in Poland). Polish edition include "When the Dreams Died" videoclip.
