Heavy Metal band from Stockholm, Sweden. D.I. started out in the early eighties. The boys struggled on for a few years but eventually would call it a day in ’85 after gigging locally and knocking out a few demo’s.
However, in 2003 Tomas Hultqvist and Niklas Tengblad, two of the original members reunited and began to work on some of Hultqvist’s songs of which 3 appeared on the 2003 “For Just Another Night” single. It featured Thomas Vikström on splendid vocals and gained good recognition both in Sweden and abroad.
Inspired by the success of their self produced single D.I. quickly resettled in the studio and began to work on what would become the “Beyond The Shadows”-album, containing original songs from the 80´s and 90´s. Once again it featured Thomas Vikström on vocals, and original members Tomas Hultqvist and Niklas Tengblad on guitars + Pontus Egberg on bass and Jonas Östman on drums. Original D.I. 80’s B-player Ola Jansson also joined in on 3 tracks! Finally, Fredrik Folkare put a finishing touch on the recording with an awesome mix + adding keyboards on two songs.
In spring 2008 3 brand new songs have been recorded. The plan is to release a promo Single with 2 songs for Sweden in early june, lateron world wide. Furthermore it is planned to release a new CD-album winter 08/09.
