JAN15This New Year is starting off bittersweet for us here in the ODAM camp.

On one hand, the band has never been stronger! We’ve been playing shows regularly in the CT and RI area, writing more ass-kicking and engaging music, meeting new and talented bands, and making contacts with totally selfless and completely awesome show promoters who help keep the independent music scene alive! For this, we could not be happier.

But we’ve taken a major hit, as well. Longtime band mate and friend Jon Collard has decided to leave ODAM to focus on his family and other areas of his life. Jon has been a part of this band since the beginning working his magic on bass, bringing the songs to life with his vocals, and being a major creative contributor. He’ll be greatly missed, but we all wish him well and hope he finds what he’s looking for.

Of Dreams And Madness will persevere, though! We’ve made contact with some incredibly talented musicians who have agreed to fill-in during Jon’s absence until we find someone to replace him permanently. If any of you are or know a bassist looking for a metal band with high ambitions, drop us a line!

JUL4Well, no, he’s not old… Hell, we’re all 15 again when we enter that band room. What I mean is he’s just not really new to the band.

OF DREAMS AND MADNESS is as happy as filthy pigs in fresh shit to welcome back from the dirge-past, DARYL “inunsane” LAPERLE.

For the past month we’ve been working together to give OD&M a little boost of adrenaline. Daryl will be sharing the microphone with Jon and stepping up as the band’s frontman. The love juices are flowing strong at rehearsals, and we think everyone will enjoy product of our copulations.

For those unfamiliar with OD&M’s history, Daryl was part of the band back in ’98 -’00 (I think that’s right?) when they were known as DIRGE. Having been hugely influential on the band’s sound during those early years, he’s remained a close friend. And, last year he was invited to guest on the band’s album – you can hear his signature scream in the song EXIT WOUND.

So there you have it! We’re really looking forward to sharing our music with you all, so stay tuned for more news & show info coming soon!

MAR17OF DREAMS & MADNESS wishes you all a happy and safe St. Patty's Day!!!

DEC24Enjoy the holidays, everybody! We'll see you in 2007!
