“A lot has happened in life between Crooked Doors and WICK. This song was a life raft and an outlet while we were on the road. It was a song that we lived in and looked forward to playing, live. Personally, it gave me the freedom to release my emotions and process my thoughts while I was on the road. We hope you enjoy this song. And we appreciate your support, sincerely. We present to you….April Showers.” – Mlny Parsonz

VAMPIRE: FIRST TRACK OF NEW ALBUM “WITH PRIMEVAL FORCE” RELEASED TODAY!

February 19, 2017 darkartconspiracy Leave a comment

Screeching and yammering
With grins of vengeful might
Ghouls blaze across the sky tonight

“Ghoul Wind”, a brand new track from VAMPIRE’s upcoming second studio album “With Primeval Force” has been released. VAMPIRE’s way to combine Swedish death metal darkness with the invincible force of Teutonic thrash metal and the nightmarish rapture of Scandinavian black metal is unrivalled. Lugubrious beauty, inscrutable dread and abysmal terrors blended to a concoction most secret and forbidden. “Ghoul Wind” as well as the previously launched rough mix of the album track “Skull Prayer” is a prime example of the undisputable quality of one of Sweden’s most hopeful upcoming bands.

Behold the godless spirit raiders, smell the cadaverous odour and harken the ghoul wind!

VAMPIRE line-up:
Hand of Doom: Vocals
Black String: Guitars
Command: Electric Bass
Sepulchral Condor: Guitars
Abysmal Condor: Battery

TEXTURES – official guitar playthrough video by Joe Tal launched!

February 19, 2017 darkartconspiracy Leave a comment

It’s exactly one year since the release of TEXTURES‘ fifth studio album »Phenotype«. The record was released via Nuclear Blast Records on February 2016 and was acclaimed worldwide as one of the best progressive metal releases of that year. The band celebrates the 1st anniversary of this album by releasing a guitar playthrough video for the song ‘Shaping A Single Grain Of Sand’ made by guitarist Joe Tal. Watch it here:

Joe Tal states: “It’s been a long while since we released a guitar playthrough video, it’s about time! To me this song represents the essence of the music of TEXTURES; poly-rhythms, groove, a big epic chorus, tempo changes and Thrash metal style riffs. It’s all there! Big thanks to fine people at Ibanez guitars.”

In addition, the band recently announced their Europe tour in April 2017. Catch TEXTURES live:

REVIEW: Ephemerald – ‘I Bear Fire’ (single)

February 19, 2017 darkartconspiracy Leave a comment

Ephemerald – ‘I Bear Fire’ Single Review

by Carina Lawrence / Dark Art Conspiracy

Finnish metal band, Ephemerald although fairly new to the scene, having formed in 2016 are no strangers to the industry as collectively the members have a wealth of experience and touring. The members consist of by Joni Snoro (ex-Frosttide), Lauri Myllylä (ex-Frosttide), Vesa Salovaara (Vorna) and Juho Suomi (Apocryfal & Prayed and Betrayed). They are wasting no time building their reputation as they have recently signed a deal with Rockshots Records to release their debut single ‘I Bear Fire’. So what can we expect from this new band?!…

‘I Bear Fire’ quickly asserts its massive presence, aided by dark and eerie sounds. The fierce growled vocals amongst the in depth instrumentation is very effective, with the big orchestrations enhancing the melodies and ambience. The contrasting memorable clean vocals, paired with aggressive vocals is well placed and makes quite an impact. This is an unstoppable mighty force; what a way to showcase their sound with this huge debut single!

Fortunately the band are currently working on their full length album release, which is tentatively set for 2018. Until then enjoy ‘I Bear Fire’!

You can watch the official lyric video for the single below:
