DallianOfficial

From the alchemical merging of "Metal" music and the aesthetics of "Steampunk", an unlikely synthesis is born , giving rise to "Dallian", a band hoping to fill a void in a still very underexplored fusion.
Rising in 2017 from the center of Portugal, in the small city of Leiria, Dallian is a band with roots on a solid background of Death Metal with added virtuosity of symphonic elements, all arranged in progressive dynamics.
"I really appreciate the complexity and textures you can get from using orchestral elements." Explains Carlos, "This larger sound pallete adds more depth to the chord progressions, we didn´t limit ourselves to the orchestra standart too,implementing also more obscure, less common traditional instruments from several different cultures which contributes to an exotic feel on our work. "
Aesthetics contribute alot to the overall sound of the band, elevating it with a grittier, darker form of steampunk, thus letting not only it´s sonic qualities shine through but also it´s lyrical concepts that rely on the occult,spirituality, internal human conflict and the human enlightment typical of the Victorian era.
"It is very story driven." Emphasizes Carlos, "Most of our lyrical content relies very heavily in a story telling element. The emphasis is mainly on a bleaker side of a steampunk society, instead of a more mainstream "glamorous" approach on this fictional setting."
