Dreams of Sanity was a gothic metal band from Austria. Founded in 1991, they released three full-length albums, before disbanding in 2002.
History[]
After forming in 1991, Dreams of Sanity released two demos in 1994 and 1996. They toured Europe late in 1996[1] before releasing their proper debut in 1997, which was inspired by The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri.[2] Two further full-lengths were issued by the band, the first based upon Phantom of the Opera and the second exploring the concept of life as a game.[3] The group went through a series of lineup changes around the recording of the third album.[4] Following this they were dropped by their label Hall of Sermon; the group broke up in 2002.
