Divine Oblivion

"We make music for ourselves, carving out our own melodic metal niche, small but deep. We don't care about the latest fashion, we don't care about if our style "fits" and we don't care about making money. Our music defines who we are and our obligation on this earth is to live without regret."

DreamCatcher

DreamCatcher are a six piece melodic metal band from Leeds, UK, consisting of members each with their own individual influences, ranging from Jazz to Progressive Metal. By fusing all these influences but maintaining the Epic/Orchestral/Melodic Metal edge the result is hopefully metal that appeals to more than just metal fans.
