Following the success of its debut album, Metamorphosis, enchanting quartet The Dark Side Of The Moon embarks on a new journey. Its new single, "Can't Catch Me Now", leads the band into the sinister Panem. A rendition of pop star Olivia Rodrigo's original addition to the soundtrack of Hollywood blockbuster The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes, The Dark Side Of The Moon's latest song fuses cinematic orchestration, haunting melody, and thunderous heaviness into a breathtaking sonic voyage. Fronted by vocalist Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum) and powered by the guitar work of Hans Platz (Feuerschwanz), this metal interpretation of "Can't Catch Me Now" is melodic, hypnotic, and fiercely untamed - a hymn for all who dare to run free in the shadows.
The Dark Side Of The Moon on "Can't Catch Me Now": "'Can't Catch Me Now' - our first release since our debut album Metamorphosis! A new chapter begins, and we can't wait to take you with us to new shores".
Fantastical metal quartet The Dark Side Of The Moon features members of Feuerschwanz, Amaranthe and Ad Infinitum. Together, they dive into the adventures of heroic characters, adding nonpareil soundscapes to their beloved stories. Guitar virtuoso Hans Platz and drum master Morten Løwe Sørensen shape their heavy sound throughout original songs and soundtrack reinterpretations alike, leaving room for harpist Jenny Diehl to add her delicate touch. Vocal queen Melissa Bonny guides through mystical worlds from Harry Potter to Game Of Thrones so enchantingly, that their debut album Metamorphosis obtained top 20 charting positions in their native Germany and Switzerland.
The Dark Side Of The Moon is off to tell its mesmerising tales on a German tour this autumn, supporting heavyweights Lord Of The Lost and Feuerschwanz on their Lords Of Fyre Co-Headline Tour (see below). Link
