  In 1969, four students from Monaco in the wake of May 68, decide to start a band "to shout about chaos, distress, the Apocalypse, revolt and hope." None of them had ever touched a musical instrument. But passion prevails, François Szönyi takes a guitar, his brother Stéphane Szönyi grabs a bass guitar, Guy Galassini starts on the drums and Andre Fassetta handles the second guitar. The four beginners learn and practice their instruments together, thereafter adding to it the mastery of the piano, clarinet, saxophone and finally singing.
  In 1971, they perform their first concert at La Turbie, a difficult audience. They perform covers of Cream, Hendrix, Deep purple, and triangle. Still amateurs, encouraged by this first trial, they decide to develop their first compositions to move to the next level. Guy's poems became songs and in 1972 another saxophonist is added to the group. Resulting in the first part of Magma.

  Thereafter they play covers of Magma on many occasions, adding two other musicians and three singers. In 1975, they participate in the Golf Drouot, winning the award.
  Dies Irae, despite this early recognition, continue to give concerts in its region but fails, probably out of lack of effective management and a lack of interest from record companies, to increase brand awareness in France. In 1979, after ten years, worn down by the struggle, the Monegasque musicians give up.

  Dies Irae made a first reunion in 1998 and then a second one in 2018… a third album is coming soon.
