Dol Ammad

Dol Ammad is the first of three “Dol” projects of composer Thanasis Lightbridge, the others being <a href="spotify:artist:2qRbkygl33k7vKfEbpmeKb" data-name="Dol Theeta">Dol Theeta</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4wX0QapytwQcZHsScYqYQM" data-name="Dol Kruug">Dol Kruug</a>. The three projects fuse electronic music with heavy metal each through a different perspective.


Dol Ammad is the most grandiose of the three combining bombastic power metal with synthesizers and a classical choir instead of a typical singer. The main themes of the project are sci-fi stories and Thanasis often refers to his music as “space metal”. The extended use of synthesizers and sound effects mixed with a heavy metal core of high speed rhythm guitars and double bass drumming result in an undoubtedly unique listening experience.


Officially formed back in 2002, Dol Ammad have released 4 full albums, 1 EP and 5 singles. They have co-operated in 2 albums with drummer Alex Holzwarth (<a href="spotify:artist:1w7TzlLDTjjFx5MFILkVr3" data-name="Rhapsody">Rhapsody</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1Ih0fEQQsy9EeAJbYEeQRa" data-name="Avantasia">Avantasia</a>, etc) and with DC Cooper (<a href="spotify:artist:2CzAMm46coQpauDZj4a4ic" data-name="Royal Hunt">Royal Hunt</a>) as a guest singer in 2 songs.
