Italian black metal outfit Darkend has signed with Time To Kill Records for its upcoming fifth full-length, Viaticum, due later this year.
Stay tuned for more details, the first single and pre-orders, which will follow soon.
Darkend is the band fronted by Animae (also the guest vocalist for Gaahl's Wyrd on various European festivals and venues). After rather humble beginnings mostly inspired by orchestral extreme metal, Darkend developed a quite peculiar artistic style blending black metal patterns, ritual ambience, dark classic metal riffs and solos in the vein of Mercyful Fate, Angel Witch, and a ritualistic, hypnotic vibe explicitly created to generate a deep sonic and spiritual transcendence.
Having toured Europe thrice alongside Cradle Of Filth, Rotting Christ, Samael, Melechesh and Keep Of Kalessin, the band had the privilege to collaborate with some of the most renowned artists of the scene while Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Niklas Kvarforth (Shining) and Sakis Tolis (Rotting Christ) offered their voices for The Canticle Of Shadows (2016, Non Serviam Records), the profound friendship between Gaahl and Animae bloomed a breathtaking collaboration with Wardruna's Lindy-Fay Hella immortalized on the album Spiritual Resonance (2019, Dark Essence Records).
