Darkness Dynamite was formed in January 2007 by Zack, Alexandre, and Eddie,
respectively, guitar player, drummer, and singer. The line-up was later
completed by the addition of Chris on bass, and Nelson as lead guitar.
The band recorded their first EP Through the Ashes of the wolves in June
2007. This release overhelms both fans and critics, and Darkness Dynamite
soon signed a distribution deal with Musicat to reach a broader audience.
Combining a strong musical technique with a delicate sense of image, the band
sells out the first pressing of the EP. Touring starts, and Darkness Dynamite
shares the stage with bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Maroon, Architects,
Job For A Cowboy, Shaped By Fate and The Chariot.
Selling out show after show, either headlining or being the first act. Their
new born legacy makes them reach high figures of online plays, that only big
international bands usually have.
In 2008, Darkness Dynamite decides to take things a step higher, and starts
the composition of their first album. As the composition goes, a few artistic
feuds begins to rise between the band and Eddie, who is later, asked to leave
the band. Darkness Dynamite welcomes in Junior Rodriguez to replace Eddie on
the vocals. This new blood brings the extra creativity the band was starving
for. Music starts flowing again, but stronger, clear lines are drawn, and the
artistic direction wont be stopped.
Darkness Dynamite integrates all of the modern metal flavours but takes
inspiration from 80s metal with references such as Metallica, Guns n roses,
Pantera, and Sepultura. Their new vocal signature opens them a brand new
horizon : heavy metal, rock, power metal.METAL.
After 5 months of intensive work with composition and pre-production, the
recording process can finally start in August 2008.
To make sure the sonic emphasis can reach the level the band expected, a few
producers are chosen :
- Stphane Buriez records the guitars ( Loudblast, Black Bomb A, LEsprit du
Clan)
- Olivier at Elektricbox Studio, Lille, records the drums (Borderline,
Aceout, Monroe est Morte)
- The mixing and mastering duties are handled with great talent by Remyboy at
Ahddenteam Studio, Lille, (Mats & Morgans, Demians, Syn, Rodrigue)
This record masters the Art of Metal. Delivering sonic assaults from death
metal, breath taking guitar leads, catchy choruses to make stadiums scream.
Darkness Dynamite succeeded in bringing the genre into a whole new ground.
The perfect combination of pure agression with the most sophisticated melodic
arrangements.
You think youve already heard it, you think that this is just another modern
metal band.
But where all these other bands just seem to follow a recipe, Darkness
Dynamite creates to be unique and ahead amongst the others.
