Hello all. I search and find no topic on this fabulous new Italian Power Metal band, Derdian.

They sound nice! It's like a cross between Rhapsody Of Fire, Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica



I just found out about them this morning on myspace when they sent me a friend request. here is their page (hear them for yourself!) :

Sounds good, the band is technical and all, but I'm not sure about the originality of these guys.

I have their second album and they are more powerful than Rapsody of fire although they have many same things. But overall they have good talent to become Rapsody perhaps Rapsody of water

I've got to say I'm impressed/amazed at how much they pimp themselves all over the net. Music's ok, but not especially impressive.

This band is a myspace plague, i have had like 4 requests from them. Their music is not terrible, but pretty standard.

I must agree with their whole whoring themselves out on myspace (and other websites too). I've had many requests from these guys on myspace and they even added me on last.fm. They aren't a bad band, but just not very original. They've really managed to get a lot of attention with their self promotion all over the internet too.

I saw this band live in 2004! They're very very good, maybe not so original but it's not so important!
A lot of band are not original! Derdian are amazing! And that's all!

This band is stalking me too ...

They send me a friend request on myspace. I checked out their music, and i dont like it. So decline the request. They send me more requests, like 4 times. And on Lastfm they keep inviting me to their group and i dont want to!! Leave me alone damnit! xD

Seems like they're bugging loads of people and its really annoying :s

Big bands come out of Italian, Derdian it's one of them. They formed in 1998 and released two demos "Revenge" in 2001 and "Incitement" in 2003. The first work "New Era Pt. I" released in March of 2005 expose a Symphonic Power with great passages and solos. Great for Derdian !!!

I first heard of'em on last.fm on a friend request. I checked their myspace page, and I liked their music. So I decided to buy the album, ordered it and paid for it..... I still have NOT received it! It has been over 6 months!! :

So someone reported what I mentioned here in the forum to the band and I was contacted by Henry of Derdian (the email was in Italian and thanks again to cradle of bodom for translating the email coz dictionary.com translation tool made no sense at all!!)

I have to say it was very thoughtful and kind of the band to take some time and deal and follow up with this issue, which was resolved and I got the CD.

And yes I still think the music is very good

Yea they're good, and I like the fact that they sound like a cross between Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica and Rhapsody of Fire, two of those bands are on my favorite list. About the originality hopefully they eventually, sooner rather than later hehe, find out what they want or have to give to this genre.

New opinion after the 3rd album??? I was fighting a little bit for the review of it...
I like this band, for example I prefer their 3 albums than the last 2 of Rhapsody (of fire)!

I like power metal, if not I can't like them, but I don't like band like rainxeed or axenstar or revolution reinassence or ect ect... I don't think that this is a bad band, yes it's not original, but I think that don't exist anymore many original bands now!! In each genre....

Let me know what d'you think! I'm curious!

Big issue with Derdian will be how original they are, they don't seem to rely on symphonic influences as much as Rhapsody [the keyboards are a lot faster] but thematically; perhaps you could argue that saga storytelling has been done to death.

Despite that, the story told in the new era trilogy is pretty damn good, so many catchy and melodic tracks on the albums [I liked the 1st and the 3rd most].

And especially in Powermetal. Imo, you can still find good and reasonably original stuff in other genres if you check them thoroughly. But not in Powermetal.
Modern day Powermetal is ultra generic and totally unoriginal.

How far does 'modern day' extend? Would you not say that Wintersum is an original album ?

I really like them!!!

They have made a trilogy, I really like the third album, it was the first I've listened to.
The songs I prefer are Divine Embrace and The Prophecy.

Can't wait for the new release!
Here's the teaser!
