Dream This Air is a Colombian Metalcore band from Armenia, Colombia, formed in 2011. The band consists of Santiago Sierra (lead vocals), Mario Andrés Osorio (lead guitar and backing vocals), Juan Camilo Linares (rhythm guitar), Juan Camilo Londoño (bass), and Santiago Hoyos (drums). Initially formed by two guitar players: Juan Camilo Linares and Mario Andrés Osorio and with the company of the drummer Santiago Hoyos Osorio. They started practicing and composing their own tracks looking for sounds that identify the band itself, and also trying to make something solid, breaking the mold of today’s tedious Metalcore. In October 2011 DTA participated in the festival “Esto es Armenia III” winning the recording of their first EP “Only Have to Wait” produced by Andres Mauricio Gallon at Sound Blast Studio. In December 2015 they released the Deep EP recorded by themselves.
