latest Diary of Dreams album

Diary of Dreams has released their 14th album (if I counted it right).
It's the third part of a trilogie started in 2004 with Nigredo, continued in 2005 with MenschFeind and finished now with Nekrolog 43. The album is dark. It's not only dark from the inside but also from the outside. The CD is black on both sides (you can see that on the left picture below, which shows the underside of the CD). I bought the limited edition which is limited to 5500 copies and comes in a so called Ecolbook (never heared that word before) which is a small hardcover book with more than 30 pages of really cool photos, a prologue, the lyrics and of course the CD with a run time of more than 70 minutes.
The album is a lot calmer than Nigredo or MenschFeind and it's not that easy to approach to it. It took me four times listening to it until I discovered it's brilliance. They do music to pull and guide you through a different world for a while. It can be very relaxing to let yourself fall into that - if you are in the right mood.

Hope dies last they say. I beg they are right.

Unfortunately I did not find a free sample of any of the Nekrolog 43 songs, so here is remixed version of Giftraum from the Nigredo album.
