Depressive Age is a German thrash metal band from Berlin .
history
The band began in the GDR , but the Berliners only became known after the fall of the Berlin Wall . In the early 1990s, they played a form of thrash metal that contained progressive rock and doom metal influences on their debut album First Depression . The dark guitar riffs and the clear vocals of frontman Jan Lubitzki were characteristic. Jochen Klemp acted as songwriter.
With Symbols for the Blue Times , the band developed clearly away from Thrash. On Electric Scum they experimented with different styles, many samples and different rhythms, but also catchy and melodic song structures that made the name Depressive Age unsuitable, so that they finally called themselves D-Age.
After this album the band disappeared into oblivion. In the meantime Jan Lubitzki has formed a new group that operates under the name Jan Dorn and took over the drum section for the band Silberschauer .
Drummer Norri has been playing with great success in the three connected medieval bands Tanzwut , Corvus Corax and Cantus Buranus since 2000 .
