DARKER HALF
- Thread starter metal evilution
- Start date
Long serving DARKER HALF drummer Ben "Benaul" Martino has decided to take a break from music for an idefinate period and therefore next Friday's gig (may 1st) @ the Lewisham will be Ben's final onstage performance with the band.
Ben has been a great friend and asset to the band and has shared many good times with the guys and his playing on the new album "Duality" is nothing short of first class.
Everyone in and around the band wishes Ben the best for the future.This will though in no way stop the momentum of the band be assured as a new line up will be unveiled very very soon and more shows announced to coincide with this.
But for now we hope you can come along and help make Ben's final show a memorable one!
Cheers.
Dave

Presents
DREADNAUGHT (VIC)
SWITCHBLADE
BE’LAKOR (VIC)
DARKER HALF
FROM WINTER'S GRACE
Date: Saturday, August 8
Venue: The Bald Faced Stag
Address: 345 Paramatta Rd., Leichardt
Entry: $15
Doors: 8:00pm
Since their inception more than 15 years ago, Melbourne’s DREADNAUGHT have firmly established themselves as a cornerstone of the Australian heavy rock scene. Having treaded the fine line between rock and metal for the majority of their career, the launch of their latest album ‘[D->0]’ sees Dreadnaught traversing decidedly heavier territory. Proclaimed by metalobsession.net as “undoubtedly their most well rounded and complete release to date… the best release of their career… a highlight of the year so far”.
Sydney's SWITCHBLADE are no strangers to the Australian metal scene. After wrapping up a hugely successful national tour for the release of their second album "Invictus Infinitum", the band are back to show their hometown Sydney crowd why the album is being hailed as "one of best Australian metal releases for this year" (blistering.com) and "easily one of the most accomplished Australian metal releases of this decade." (Loud Australia Magazine) Mixed in the USA by Grammy Award winning producer Neil Kernon and featuring a blistering guest solo by Nevermore's Jeff Loomis, "Invictus Infinitum" is in stores now through AmpHead Music.
They are joined on the night by the dark, melodic death metal band from Melbourne- BE’LAKOR. Having quickly come to be regarded as one of Australia’s more promising and creative metal acts, they draw influences from the natural world and the perpetual struggle between destruction and life. Be’lakor creates songs that take the listener on a compelling journey. Their highly anticipated second album, Stone’s Reach, was released on June 20 through Prime Cuts Music/Riot and this marks the Sydney leg of their Stone’s Reach Australian tour.
Also playing on the night are the amazing DARKER HALF and FROM WINTER'S GRACE!

Check out the new Pro filmed video for "Desentsitized". It's also a new track which doesn't appear on the album so you get a peak at their projected direction somewhat.
