The Dark Side Of The Moon, the fantastic metal quartet formed by members of Feuerschwanz, Amaranthe and Ad Infinitum, love to explore unseen lands and dive into the adventures of worldwide heroic characters. Sharing their stories with a dedicated fanbase, they now announce their debut album, Metamorphosis, out on 12 May 2023 via Napalm Records. With this album, the unit around Ad Infinitum vocal queen Melissa Bonny and Feuerschwanz guitar virtuoso Hans Platz dip their soundscapes into mystical worlds, reinterpreting famous soundtrack themes and writing their own songs dedicated to their favourite characters.
Setting off to the fantastic universe of Harry Potter, the first single, "Double Trouble/Lumos! (Hedwig's Theme)" is an expertly metallized medley mix featuring the tune of "Hedwig's Theme", cut from the beloved movie theme song featured throughout the entire film series, and the bewitching "Double Trouble", taken from the third movie. The song comes along with a lavish music video and shines with additional input from sensational violinist Rusanda Panfili, who complements the mystical and eerie atmosphere.
The Dark Side Of The Moon on the new single: "We are happy to finally visit Hogwarts with you and to show you its dark side. When we first talked about transforming "Double Trouble" we were not sure the song would allow us to do it. But strangely, combined with the classical violin and the heavy guitars, the explosive drums, the enchanting harp and Melissa's mesmerizing voice, the magic happens! We are thrilled to have Rusanda Panfili joining us on this quest. Among other things she is a violin soloist for Hans Zimmer, one of the most famous movie score composers. Together, we created a metal cover of this legendary movie score written by John Williams."
The band adds about the upcoming debut album: "We are excited to finally announce our debut album Metamorphosis! At the time we just had one song ("Jenny Of Oldstones") and were asked to make a full album, we had to start from scratch a journey which led us from the depth of Moria all the way up to the top of the Misty Mountains. We are beyond proud to also present you three original songs on the album! It goes without saying that we cannot wait to hear your response to what we have been preparing for more than a year. Welcome to the dark side!"
