Master Dy.[1] is a Symphonic metal/Gothic metal band formed in May 2019 in Portugal by vocalist and songwriter Dy Moob, a former member of ThunderSisters. and has since released three full-length albums, two EP, and multiple singles.
History
[edit]Master Dy originally planning to create a solo project, Dy Moob renamed the project Master Dy[2], after Dy Moob being stricken by a crisis of borderline disorder and having tried against her own life. Dy Moob quickly gained fanbase and by June 2019 already had hundreds of followers, even though until that moment she was the only member of the band.
In September 2019 after going to perform for some fans at Comic Con[3] Portugal, in September 2019. Bruno Cunha, the drummer of Underealm, later joined as the first person to give life to the character Hydra on drums. However, due to a busy schedule, Bruno left the band in 2019, The band also featured Esdras Lacerda as the first to play the character Mr Perseus and he also contributed creatively with the creation of 3 songs for the band. In December of the same year, Portuguese guitarist and producer Kebras joined the project under the persona Mr. Draco, becoming a co-creator and key artistic force in the band’s development.
Despite booking shows, the band's momentum was halted in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this break pandemic in 2020, Dy and Kebras dedicated themselves to writing and arranging new material, laying the groundwork for future releases, resulting in a fully written album. After several lineup changes throughout 2020, including the addition of Aquilla, Cepheus, Cethus, and Caio Gaona[4], a renowned Brazilian drummer, who was part of the project for three months. On February 26th, 2021, the band released the band’s debut album Unknown Sound [5] in February 2021 through DyMM P&M records[6]
Combining theatrical elements with influences of death metal, power metal, and pop metal, Master Dy quickly established a unique aesthetic. Inspired by acts such as Lacuna Coil, Arch Enemy, Ghost, Powerwolf, and Dissection, the band developed a distinctive sound that blends aggression, melody, and conceptual storytelling.
That same year, Master Dy gained attention by surpassing 100,000 streams on Spotify, becoming one of the most listened-to female-fronted metal bands in the Portuguese scene. They added a new Hydra to their lineup to become a full band again. In September, the band released the empowering single You Are Not Alone[7][8] through Spinnup (Universal Music) and a surprise acoustic EP, Halloween Mass, featuring stripped-down versions of early tracks.
Throughout these early years, Master Dy has been featured in some magazines such as Powerplay[9], Lusitânia, ORmagazine, and MTview Zine in which they were the cover of the edition. They were also one of only five bands from Portugal to consistently chart on Apple's Top 50, 100, and 200 in February, March, and April 2022. In March 2022, Dy Moob was invited to participate in a collaborative project organized by Caminhos Metálicos, bringing together Portuguese metal musicians to create a tribute song in support of Ukraine during the escalation of the war. The initiative gained national attention and was featured on Portugal’s prime-time news program Jornal da Noite[10] on SIC TV.
In December 2022, the band released their second studio album, Legacy of Satan[11] written and produced by Dy Moob and Kebras during their stay in the Netherlands. Although the album was recorded under difficult personal, illness and immigration-related circumstances, it marked a significant chapter in the band's evolution. While the album didn’t receive the same level of acclaim as its predecessor, it laid the foundation for the more ambitious project that followed.
Despite their intriguing history, the band's sound cannot be easily classified by critics and DSPs, generating confusion about their genre. The band's vocal standards do not necessarily fit into power metal, and their instrumentals incorporate elements of power, death, and black metal. As a result, a subcategory called "Goth-symphonic" is being used to define the band's unique style.
In March 2023, the band released a single titled "Sorrows Inside You," recorded and released in the Netherlands. The song provided a brief respite from the disappointment of their previous album, "Legacy of Satan," and marked their debut inclusion in a Spotify editorial playlist.
Continuing their momentum in August 2023, the band initiated a monthly release cycle, promising fans a steady stream of new material. The first of these releases, "#SatanicPowerMetal," underscored the band's evolving style. During a live session on TikTok, Dy Moob, a member of the band, expressed a commitment to artistic freedom, eschewing strict adherence to a single genre within the metal realm.
The consecutive releases culminated in the creation of the EP "Ghost," paying homage to one of the band's early inspirations, Ghost.
In December 2023, the band surprised listeners with a Christmas song titled "Jingle Hell," part of a collaborative EP for the record label DMG. Departing from their usual sound, the song embraced a darker, black metal aesthetic, featuring deeper vocals mixed with growling.
In January 2024, the band started a new cycle of monthly releases, which culminated in the conceptual album FRUCTUS: The Master’s Zodiac, released in December 2024. Composed by Dy Moob and Kebras, the album features 13 tracks—one for each month of the year—each dedicated to people born during that month. The song for March, Nyctophile Serenade, led to the creation of the band’s own editorial playlist on Spotify, This Is Master Dy,[12] a notable achievement for an independent metal act. Additionally, they revealed plans for a special album commemorating their fifth anniversary in September, consisting of ten re-recorded and remixed songs from their discography. In January 2025 after releasing a collaboration with the band ThunderSisters, the band became completely independent with the closure of the record label DMG (formerly DyMM P&M).
Also in 2025, in May, the band was nominated to compete for the award for best rock-metal music video at the Italian Eleven Awards[13].
In June 2025, the band officially kicked off their first South American tour, Way of Legacy, with a live pocket show celebrating their 6-year anniversary. The official tour debut took place on June 29, 2025, in AN rock - Poá, São Paulo[14], featuring Isa Nielsen (former guitarist of Detonator e As Musas do Metal) as the special guest opener. The event marked the beginning of a new phase for the band, with live performances finally reaching their growing Brazilian fanbase.
