Dirty Shirt Shares New Lyric Video

One of Eastern Europe’s most successful and diverse metal bands, Dirty Shirt is an amalgamation of folk metal, nu-metal, hardcore, metalcore, industrial and alternative rock. Originally, they started as a wedding band and since evolved into a creative, colourful band that plays with a very wide range of musical influences. The next single, or singles, off the upcoming album, is the two parted "Cand s-o-mpartit norocu’", which means "when good luck was portioned out" when translated to English. The two tracks take their inspiration from a very sad Romanian song, which the band explains further:

"Part one starts with a monotonous and almost funeral ambiance, with a long development in crescendo to the chorus. In part two, the ambiance becomes more psychedelic, with Tool influence on verses. There is an instrumental bridge to the chorus, with gypsy influences, and the chorus in English, with an 'elevating' ambiance and an alternative/grunge sound. Except for the English chorus, the lyrics are from traditional music, and it is about the fact that we are confronted with tragedies in our lives. Unfortunately, it is impossible for us not to make the link between the visual and musical atmosphere of the video and what is happening in our neighbouring country, Ukraine. It is a sad song, with a sad video, for sad times…"

The video for "Cand s-o-mpartit norocu’ (Part 1 & 2)" was made by Costin Chioreanu (Ghost, Marylin Manson, Opeth, Carcass, Hypocrisy), a Romanian artist internationally recognized for his unique style of graphics and animation. More...

Interview

Dagoba Vocalist Living "By Night"

When it comes to metal music in Europe, France tends to get overlooked somewhat in favour of such countries as Germany, Sweden or the United Kingdom, but a quick read will show headbangers that France has always been there when it comes to the genre. From the likes of Trust and Sortilege to their own infamous black metal scene and one of the biggest metal bands in the world in the form of Gojira, France has always had more than its fair share of quality metal bands.

Another name which is synonymous with French metal would be Dagoba. Formed in Marseille in 1997, the band has blended styles such as groove, Goth and industrial to become one of the more revered and respected groups in their homeland. This past month, Daboba unleashed their eighth studio album, "By Night," which sees them further expand their sound and incorporate some truly stunning visuals to create a total package of outstanding work. To find out more about the record, Metal Underground caught up with the band's founder and vocalist Shawter, who had a huge amount of work to do when it came to the album. You can watch the interview in full below.

Diamond Oz: The new album, "By Night," is out now. Something that you notice immediately is the very 1980s look and feel to the record. Is that intentional or rather just the way which things panned out?

Shawter: First of all it's because we love all that scenery, the lights, neon and everything. Also because of the music, which had some electronic things here and there. We had to make all the visuals; the artwork, the videos, relate to the sound and have the whole package relate.

Oz: Yeah. I think it's a very smart decision. Not only does it reflect the music very well but for newcomers, especially ones who are fans of something like Blade Runner for example, they'll think, "Oh, this is cool" and be more inclined to check out the back catalogue.

Shawter: Actually, it's very interesting because most of the new fans that we're meeting, or talking with since this album released, they're really into looking into our discography. I'm really happy with that because this is our eighth album and it would be a pity if our previous seven albums were totally forgotten!
