INTO DARK is a Polish black metal band formed in 2016, in own way experimenting with modern form of the genre, deeply rooting itself in atmosphere of nostalgia, disease and horror.
After 6 years of silence band is going to release new EP. Music was recorded, mixed and mastered by Przemysław Nowak at Impressive-Art Studio (Asgaard, Odraza, Outre, Devilish Impressions). Cover artwork was done by Piotr Kiełb. EP titled ‘I, Glance’ will be released digitally and on CD May 26, 2023. Pre-order will be available soon at Bandcamp.
Band commentary: ‘With our music on this EP, we were trying to catch Glance on state of darkness wrapped in depression, anger and somber lights of upcoming dawn.‘
Bloodstrings release their new album ‘Heartache Radio’ on 16 June via Dackelton Records / Broken Silence.
On this musically and lyrically extremely diverse album, the punkabilly foursome presents a new side: instead of zombies and demons, there are political, socially critical, anti-sexist themes. The demons still exist, but they live in us, our society and our spirits and attitudes. But it is also about the themes known from the Bloodstrings: love, depression and alcohol: the desire to break out.
An album like a radio playlist, in which singer Celina, bassist Nick, guitarist Manni and drummer Patrick pour out their hearts once again. ‘Heartache Radio’ was produced by the DONOTS at Heavy Kranich Studio in Münster.
