About Diary of Dreams
Diary of Dreams is a German darkwave band formed in the late 80s by lead singer and founding member Adrian Hates. The project’s debut album, “Cholymelan”, was released in 1994 through Dion Fortune label. Following the initial success, Adrian Hates established Accession Records, his own music label, to further the project’s releases. “End of Flowers”, the project’s second album, came out in 1996, delving deeper into the darkwave genre. This was followed by “Bird Without Wings” in 1997 and the more experimental “Psychoma?” in 1998.
The subsequent releases, “One of 18 Angels” and “Freak Perfume” (alongside its companion EP “PaniK Manifesto”), saw a shift towards integrating electronic rhythms. 2004’s “Nigredo”, was a concept album influenced by a mythology crafted by the band, and signaled a return to more nuanced and sparse compositions, albeit with elements of their dance-oriented sound.
Seeveral other albums followed. “Elegies in Darkness” was released on March 14, 2014 and saw Hates drawing inspiration from German expressionism (1909-1935) and the concept of “the beauty of ugliness”, both in lyrics and artwork.
