DOL AMMAD – DOL THEETA // electronicARTmetal

I am excited to reveal a great project I took part in some time ago. I got contacted by Alex Papatheodorou the composer and lyricist of Eternal Journey in order to participate in his debut album “Threshold of Pain”.

I loved the music and it was an honor to be a part of Alex’s Space Metal explorations and so I laid down some synthesizers for 2 of the tracks in the album. Check out this video from Alex explaining his project and also the link to his site: http://www.eternaljourney.de/

Thanasis: If you know French I think you will enjoy this great review for “Winds Of The Sun” from our friends in Heavylaw. Merci beaucoup!

Dol Ammad – “Winds Of The Sun” – 8/10

By Quetzalcoalt – 12/11/2010

Et si on allait faire un petit tour dans l’espace aujourd’hui? On pourrait bronzer façon steak semelle, sans cette foutue couche d’ozone pour nous protéger la peau des UV. Parce que c’est pas avec le temps moisi qu’il fait au moment où j’écris qu’on va pouvoir alimenter son cancer de la peau en toute quiétude, je vous le dis tout de suite. Comment ça ça vous tente pas? Et si je vous dis se laisser flotter au gré des vents solaires, admirer la beauté de l’espace infini et compter combien il y a de cailloux en tout dans les anneaux de Saturne, ça vous intéresse plus? Ah là vous êtes tentés! Et bah ça tombe bien car figurez-vous j’ai avec moi le tout dernier EP de Dol Ammad, “Winds Of The Sun”, et qu’il va nous envoyer en aller simple pour un voyage inter-galactique, en plus de faire couteau suisse et agenda électronique. …

I got some emails regarding this so yes it is true, it’s been a while now that I have cut my hair!

Nooooooooooo I hear you scream! Relax, it’s not in the hair!

Cheers

I was drinking my regular gallons of milk when suddenly I was interrupted by a Facebook request… Thankfully it was my good friend Cedric from Magic Fire Music with a great bunch of questions for a new interview…

Magic Fire Music : Hi Thanasis, how are you? It is our second interview with you. That deserves to be celebrated! What happened for you since the release of Dol Theeta?

Thanasis Lightbridge : Hey Cedric! Nice to talk with you again for Magic Fire Music! Well after the release of “The Universe Expands” by Dol Theeta we focused in completing the release of the Dol Ammad EP “Winds Of The Sun” with some very special tracks and also to put together a nice Videoclip for the main song “Winds Of The Sun”. Apart from that I am finishing my second master’s degree in music/visuals technology. I also did some productions to local bands and visuals in the concerts of a retro-jazz project.

Magic Fire Music : The EP of Dol Ammad has just been released. Why did you choose to release a digital version of that EP and not a CD? …

Well, this was unexpected! After visiting the Dol Ammad/ Dol Theeta homepage for a while and seeing the forum full of spam and no updates I was beginning to lose hope. Thankfully my despair turned to joy and surprise.

Thanasis Lightbridge has been busy whipping up some Dol Ammad material. This digital EP gives us a small sample of what’s to come. Let’s take a look at what we have on this 26 minute EP.

There are three original songs, a cover and a choir version of a song fromOcean Dynamics …
