Dios
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the band from Argentina. For the indie rock band from California, formerly known as dios, see dios Malos. For the album by dios Malos, see dios (album). For the heavy metal band led by Ronnie James Dio, see Dio. "Dios" is also a character in the anime and manga Revolutionary Girl Utena.
Dios was a band from Argentina that started to play in 1992, their name comes from the Spanish word for "God". They finally released an album in 2001 with 19 songs. The group split up a few months after the release of this first and last album.
During their existence the group gained the status of a cult band. The lack of a guitar gave Dios a very claustrophobic sound that exalted the hypnotic sound of the drums and the bass. The music critics have tried to classify Dios sometimes as punk, sometimes as darkwave, sometimes as no wave, sometimes as trip-hop.
Their music was probably influenced by the very early sound of Swans, Suicide and Joy Division. The lyrics of Dios were often very close in style to the poetry of Tango and its Lunfardo, offering a romantic and yet critic ode to the low life of Buenos Aires.
