DGM originally formed in 1994 as an entirely instrumental band.
Their first official release is the self-produced mini CD ‘Random Access Zone’ but the full album comes out in November ‘97:
‘Change Direction’.
The album received great responses everywhere: Italy, Germany, Finland, Denmark, etc. which prompted to start an Italian tour that gave the band the reputation as one of the most promising progressive Italian act in those years.

With the new drummer Fabio Costantino (ex-Carnal Raptor), thanks to his great technical experience and his fine musical taste, DGM entered the studio for their incredible second album: ‘Wings Of Time’ (top album on the most important Italian magazines “Metal Shock”, “Flash” and “Metal hammer”). In Japan the CD sold over 4,000 copies in the first 10 days.
The band was also contacted by BURRN! for an exclusive interview that enlarged DGM reputation in the worldwide musical scene.

Before their third studio album release, Titta Tani joined the band, becoming the new DGM singer. ‘Dreamland’ saw the light of day in December 2001. In springtime 2001 Andrea Arcangeli (Solisia, Concept, ex-River of Change) became the new DGM bass player just before the Italian dates for ‘Dreamland’ promotion.

In 2002 Scarlet Records took the Italian musicians under their wings, asking them to sign a contract and laying the foundations of a new album.

‘Hidden Place’ was released in May 2003 and was destined to be another hot shot for the band, with a new progressive sound from the new keyboards player Fabio Sanges (Abstracta).
The fourth album received excellent reviews on all the magazines and web magazines from all over the world and it was time for DGM to take part at the Gods Of Metal (2003 edition).

‘Misplaced’ was born in February 2004; What people heard in this 8 tracks CD was a great example of Prog-Power at its best coupled with catchy melodies, hard rock sound, power walls of pure metal and dreaming solos and a great production thanks to great work of Giuseppe Orlando's (Novembre) Outer Sound studio.
Like ‘Hidden place’, also ‘Misplaced’ has been considered by both the magazines and the audience a great album, and several live dates followed the release.

In 2005 Simone Mularoni (Empyrios) replaced Diego Reali, Simone is considered simply a genius of the six strings, who naturally owns the peculiar DGM sound.
With Simone DGM had the possibilities to reach a more fresh sounds due to his metal influences and his experience as a sound engineer and producer at the Fear Studios. With such a great axe man DGM needed another monstrous keyboard player able to be the right arm of Simone, Emanuele Casali (Astra, ex-Empyrios) was the best and only possible choice after Fabio Sanges left.

Simone and Emanuele gave to the new songs a renewed touch of class and the result of his experience is all included in "Different Shapes" released in 2007.
The media claims ‘Different Shapes’ as the best work of DGM so far, a beautiful production managed Simone himself made Rock Hard and Metal Hammer awarding it as TOP ALBUM.
On the live front, DGM played for the second time at the Gods Of Metal (2007) together with Heaven&Hell, Dream Theater, SymphonyX, Dark Tranquillity among others, Lagoa Burning Festival (2007), Prog-Power Europe (2007) as a confirmation of the high quality of ‘Different Shapes’.

In February 2007 DGM announced that Mark Basile (B.R.A.K.E., ex Mind Key) was the new singer of the band. Mark was chosen among several auditions throughout Italy, Europe and America after Titta Tani left the band.

In Autumn of 2008 DGM give light to the sevnth album of their career: ‘Frame’ DGM are nowadays considered undoubtedly one of Europe’s leading progressive metal acts, always pushing the boundaries with their technical and refined musical skills, which allowed them to be included among prog metal fans’ favourites.
‘Frame’ is probably the most perfect think DGM are ever done, Mark's voice is something unbelievable, Simone guitar plying will leave you breathless, Emanuele's harmonies will bring you on new musical conceptions while the Andrea and Fabio create a wall of rhythmic session where to leave an indelible trail in the worldwide metal scene.
