Re: Veni Domine appears to have reunited...
Veni Domine's Facebook page just became active again and announced a festival appearance in March 2024. I'm not sure if this is permanent or just a one-off reunion, but they seem to be hinting that it might be more than this one show. This is not a band I particularly listen to often as their style...

I HOPE that it brings more "life" back to DT live shows..... Rather than playing the same songs night after night, and playing them note for note to the studio, let's make the live experience UNIQUE and interesting again.

I'm on the fence with all of these comments ..... I like it, but I don't.

They just backed off on the power of the guitars this tim...

Been listening to the 2023 remaster of ELEGY’s “State of Mind”. Sounds is killer! It wasn’t bad to begin with but it sounds very strong now and music doesn’t sound 25 years old at all.
