The musical project started in Poland at the beginning of 2017.
Inspired by doom metal themes with influences of black and death metal.
After recording their debut album „Fade”, DHS completed their line-up and became a full-time band,
starting to play live shows across the country.
Lyrics on the album were loosely based on the novels by Edgar Allan Poe and posed a question:
Is death an end or a beginning?
In 2020 band recorded a single called "Downfall" and released it together with two other doom
metal bands as a split EP entitled "Unyielding". It was a preview of their upcoming music.
After that the band focused on their second long play, finished and recorded halfway through 2021.
The fruit of this work is 7 songs piece that is a continuation of the story contained in “Fade”
with the addition of H.P. Lovecraft-inspired themes.
“Call of the Abyss” is full of darkness, mystery, sadness and nostalgia deeply entrenched
in doom/death metal of the early 90s and the second wave of black metal. It continues the journey
that started four years ago on the previous album.
Straight to the unknown, right into calling abyss…
