Darkness Ablaze - It All Shall Burn - CD

The fire of DARKNESS ABLAZE started to blaze back in 2002. After the line-up was complete with bass, drums and lead guitar, the six guys quickly began to make a name for themselves in the local metal scene. The band gained greater notoriety in 2007 with the release of their self-titled debut album. After a few line-up changes, DARKNESS ABLAZE released their second album 'Shadowreign' in 2010. In the meantime, the group had developed their own sound, mixing symphonic keyboards with melodic guitars and brutal vocals, resulting in a unique style of Melodic Death Metal. The band disbanded until further notice due to changes in the lives of many band members in 2011. The members lay dormant until founding member Jens realized in 2018 that it was finally time to reignite the flame, along with founding vocalist Theo. Jens switched from keyboard to guitar and soon the new line-up was complete with drummer Markus, Marcel on lead guitar and Sven as bassist. In 2021 DARKNESS ABLAZE released their EP 'Creator' to reinvent the group. With the new album 'It All Shall Burn' the band is ready to take the next step. The songs combine driving riffs with melodic lead guitars and symphonic elements into a powerful mélange that is sometimes melancholic, sometimes energetic and uplifting.
Theo's growls add the necessary brutality to complete DARKNESS ABLAZE’s captivating and versatile sound. On 'Celine', a really surprising song in the band history, they had guest
appearances by Timo Fielker, the singer of the Groove Metal band MINDEAD, which provides the clean vocals and Robin Porta, member of the STAATSORCHESTER STUTTGART, who plays the viola on this track and on 'Ghost Path'
