At this moment DIAL is working on new material for the new album.
Exactly when, where and how is far from decided but we're all bubbling with inspiration and new material.
Each member of DIAL is also busy with individual projects at the moment.
Dial started in the fall of 2003, as Rommert van der Meer, Liselotte Hegt and Kristoffer Gildenlow were looking for an output for their bound up musical ideas.
The general thought behind DIAL was just to make music - any kind of music.
It didn't have to fit with anything or be categorized... just making music.
After a while, ideas became more serious and complete songs were formed.
Early 2005 there was a first demo, recorded in a home environment, using drum machines and sequencers.
In late 2005 DIAL started seriously consider making an album.
Early 2006 DIAL got in touch with musician/producer Devon Graves (Dead Soul Tribe) and after hearing a newer version of the demo (re-recorded and re-mixed early 2006) he was happy to help out with producing the debut album of DIAL.
The album was recorded at Dead Soul Temple (Austria) in June/July 2006 and released world wide through Prog Rock Records in 2007.
DIAL has since played at several festivals and supported Bands like Riverside (PL), Lana Lane (US) and Kingfisher's Sky (NL).
In the Summer of 2007, DIAL shot it's first official music video in colaboration with Production Team D'iMages.
