Adiant
Killing Dreams
Founded shortly before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in autumn 2019, the quintet from Styria has written quite classic, partly symphonic Melodic Death Metal with haunting female vocals. In spring 2020, Felix Gschier (DARKFALL), the singer's older brother, completed the band, taking on bass, vocals and other songwriting, thus driving work on the present debut album, which will be released in November 2021 via Black Sunset / MDD. In terms of content, the band deals with complex topics, which range from social criticism to environmental events to mental illness. The album was recorded and produced by Thomas Reinisch in the Redhead Studios, with Philipp Wilfinger / Audiophil responsible for the mastering. "Adiant" is an old Celtic term, which is due to the Celtic sacrificial sites and excavation sites in local Styria and means something like "wish" or "desire". Now at least the wish for a first-class album has been fulfilled by the band themselves and the listeners with "Killing Dreams.
