After their French tour full of originality , DA wrote the second chapter called The Dekta Release in November 2001. The two French leaders have practically pushed their style beyond the human limits , so that one may wonder if they are really human! Then during the following year , they mixed for other bands, and in September 2002 they composed “ Cobalt hope” , the first track of “ Holy Bible IV “ , a compilation which showed their mature work . This song became the opening track of their next album called REPLIKA – the third chapter of Psykron- where conflicts and war progressively bring desolation and chaos on the planet.
During the year 2004 , DA made some improvements in their recording studio and worked on some song mixing such as “believe” for PSY, ”buried filae” for RAJNA (album Black Tears, Holy Records) and “ex animo” for SUP (plus a video in late 2006)
After a few concerts , the band also performed in 2005 at the “Holy Party” a Holy Records festival ,and conceived their live video album for the label .
