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 bands 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 bands history was the
fourth album entitled Transkarpatia(2005). What had a great impact
on this success was undoubtedly the albums 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
surprising selectivity as well as the power of each and every
instruments sound. The positive reception of Darzamats 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 groups 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 bands history.
