Derdian: From fantasy to current issues of the human society

Derdian is a symphonic power metal band born in 1998 in Milan, Italy. They are back with their seventh full-length named DNA, an album that presents a fusion between symphonic orchestrations and thrash metal riffs with a powerful speed drumming, resulting in nice catchy and easy-listening melodies. With a sound that resembles of what Rhapsody started back in the late 1990s, DNA presents a formula true to its style while adding its own flavor by bringing in other classic influences and even folk and prog elements. The title track DNA,

After two demos: Revenge (2001) and Incitement (2003), in 2004 the band signed its first agreement with Steelheart Records and recorded the debut album New Era pt.1.In 2006 Derdian was contacted by the American label Magna Carta that proposed an agreement for two albums: New Era pt.2- War Of The Gods and New Era pt.3- The Apocalypse.

In 2013 the band decided to leave the fantasy genre and to deal with the most current issues of the human society and the album Limbo was the result of this new approach and it had such a broad international consensus that won a distribution contract in the East with the Japanese Spiritual Beast. In live shows the band doesn’t use any kind of backing tracks. This lets Derdian play their music without barriers and frippery.
