Artist History
DRAMA ASYLUM, were formed in the summer of 1990,by two disenchanted dreamers. Who
just happened to have a fondness for the SISTERS OF MERCY, and also a love of
70’s Glam and progressive rock. Especially bands like Queen and led Zeppelin Add to this a singer with a love of the CURE and DEPECHE
MODE, plus anything dark and electronic and you have the basis, for what turned
out to be a five-year roller-coaster ride. Of high and low times, ending with
sporadic recordings. Which still carried on, in one form or another, long after
the bands official demise. Drama asylum’s material progressed or regressed (depending
on your point of view), as every new recording became available. And even though
they had many different influences they always managed to sound just like the
drama asylum. Which usually meant taking music and spoken word “samples” from
the most unlikely sources. The band were also commissioned to write two music
scores, the first was a dark journey into the realms of science fiction. And
the second one was, a dark musical score loosely based on Bram Stoker’s novel
Dracula
At this precise moment in time, their are plans for
a new Drama Asylum CD,which will be released in early 2003. With some Live dates
due in the Fall of 2003 Which will be recorded for inclusion on a long awaited
live CD. There will also be a compilation c.d. available in the very near future
entitled Drama Asylum A DISCOVERY. Plus a Covers CD of the bands all time
Favorite songs.Also they do have an extensive back catalogue, some of which
is still available |

Press Reviews
Drama Asylum 1994 - The
black album
SOD 040 CD 1995
Sounds of Delight licensed
the Debut-Album of Drama Asylum from Harrow, Middx, England.
Rhythmic, melodic and
danceable guitarsounds with rocking drums and keyboards,
influenced of a lot of famous singers and bands, result the
unmistakable full sound of Drama Asylum. Atmospheric influence by
the songs and the voice is unmistakable. An album, which will
find a lot of friends, like already in England.
Crown Of thorns(1990-1994)(black sun)
This is a Compilation Of 7 and 12 inch
singles. If you like Classic gothic Drum machine, moody
strings,mixed against washes of atmospheric sequencers and cut up
guitar this could be for you.The overall Feel of this CD is of an
embryonic band experimenting with sound and musical styles.ASH
