Through Darkness

[Apolinário]

Through Darkness is a portuguese Extreme/Melodic Death Metal band.Formed in the summer of 2006 by Bruno "Shark" Pereira (Vocals;lyrical concepts)and Élvio Rodrigues (Guitars;drum and key programming;narratives & flute),the band has a complex and very unique sound,with influences raging from genres as diverse as Death Metal,Viking/Folk Metal and Ambient/Atmospheric Music.Every track is unique in its own way,with brutality contrasting with sorrowful melodies and folkish acoustic guitars. Our debut EP "A Journey Through Darkness" is expected to be released in the summer of 2007.This EP will be divided in two parts.The first one ( tracks 1-4 ) is based on personal struggles and will be consisted of 1 Introduction,2 Tracks and a Finale. The second part ( tracks 5-8 ) is inspired by finnish mythology,with excerpts taken from the Kalevala-The national epic of Finland.Like the first part of the EP,the second will consist of 1 Introduction,2 Tracks and a Finale.

The concept of the album cover was developed by the band and designed by JP Fournier (Immortal, Dragonforce, Power Quest, among others).

There were some problems with the mastering process of the EP, so the release has been delayed over and over again. A week ago, we received the final version, and it sounds very good, given the circumstances. We expect to release the EP in a few weeks.
