    This Album was inspired by Captain Sir John Franklin's Lost Expedition, a British Voyage of Arctic Exploration that departed with 129 Men from England in 1845.
    Both Ships, called Erebus & Terror, became icebound and after being trapped and suffering in ethernal coldness for over a year, the remaining Sailormen decided to abandon their Ships. Trying to survive, they set out for the Canadian Mainland but disappeared.
    Their frozen bodies might still be out there.

about

"Icewind" is the first song I wrote for this album. It is powerful and energetic, but also represents the crew's first contact with the adverse conditions of the journey.
In the past, it was said as a nautical superstition that a woman on board brings bad luck.
The grand finale of the song is therefore sung by a woman.
I asked Noga Rotem to do this because she also conducts and composes orchestras and has a wonderful, powerful but also vulnerable voice.
She has realised the theme and her text perfectly.

lyrics

Daidalos - Icewind

Sea lies still and yet it is rough
Wild and dangerous
She makes Men out of Boys
No Land can be seen
Far and wide No Refuge no Return
On Deck so cold and drafty
Below Deck Men sit closely packed together
Only Thoughts and Dreams are private
Discipline must be maintained by Force
Every Day is the same
Monotony gnaws all Souls
Conquerors or Lost
Dying for their Land

Far away my Goal
And totaly unknown
Far we go to Valour and to Death through the Icewind

We are approaching the Unknown
Water, Void and Ice
Nautical Charts became useless because never before has anyone been here
Men think about their Wives and dream of returning as Conquerors
Or die for their Land
For the modern World

A World of cosmic Solitude
Ominous and Beautiful
Ice and Oceans I have sued
But here my Journey has begun

Body and Soul in a Struggle of Hope
Enforcing Men to fulfill
Perceptual Disorder and frostbitten Claws
Metamorphosis of bloodpoisoning Lead
No Refuge no Return Hopeless Dreams Inside
Beloved Ones at Distance so far from all Gods
All is White

DAIDALOS was founded in 2020 as a one-man band by Tobias Püschner.

The original idea was to write Blackmetal songs just by piano&drums.
But after an experiment of creating atmospheric breakdowns between the heroic but hopeless mental state of Sir John Franklin´s Arctic Expedition, a concept for "The Expedition" was born.
Still in the lead of the piano, eight symphonic Dark Metal songs arised. ... more
