DGM – Life

DGM hails from Italy and is one of the coolest and most inspiring progressive metal acts out there in the humble opinion of this scribe, and Life once again sees them firing on all cylinders from beginning to end and delivering ten enticing and elegantly composed songs that are positively brimming with passion and vitality.

With their soaring vocals, utterly majestic riffs, deeply atmospheric keyboards, and clever arrangements, this album is a huge and juicy feast to the ears, and if you want colorful textures and seemingly infinite layers then you have come to the right place. Everything flows beautifully, and there is both sophistication, crunch, and perfectly sized bombast to its exhilarating material without it ever lacking focus or emotive qualities. Simply put, this is forward-thinking and original music with an abundance of heart and soul to it, and Life ticks all the right boxes and offers a one-hour journey through charismatic and spellbinding sounds with a singular vision to them. An ingenious and accomplished prog metal affair.
