D:A:D, originally known as Disneyland After Dark, was founded in Copenhagen, Denmark in the early 80s by Jesper Binzer, Jacob Binzer, Stig Pedersen, and Peter Jensen. In 1999, drummer Peter Jensen was replaced by Laust Sonne. Celebrating their 40th anniversary earlier this year, the band has written 40 new songs, choosing 14 for their upcoming double album "Speed of Darkness" set to release on October 4. The quartet is excited about the album, with Jesper Binzer expressing enthusiasm for the new collection and its representation of D:A:D's signature sound.
The anniversary celebration marked a new chapter for D:A:D, leading them to focus on the future with the impending release of their 13th album. With a strong consensus among the band members on the quality of the new material, anticipation is high for the fans to hear the album. Jesper Binzer is particularly enthusiastic, describing the album as quintessentially D:A:D and even better than before.
