DARKNESS (ITA)


“Let the napalm rain” (2002) [Huginn Prod.]
Just raw and grim black-thrash metal: this is Darkness, the Italian answer to the Norwegian malicious Auranoir, both musically and lyrically.
As you can expect, the songs’ structure is sometimes a bit archetype but I do really not care cause I simply enjoy their sound: riffs just follows a furious bleeding score!
Instead something I can’t avoid to complain about is the recordings level: professional recordings (mostly about the Achills’ hell of almost every metal bands called drums!) will surely help to enjoy this release even more. But don’t get me wrong, I don’t think CD such as “let the Napalm rain” should sound clean and perfect as in the Abyss production; on the opposite, I really liked the idea of the band to make this CD sounds like a vinyl.
Recordings apart, this band (with some members of The true Endless) hit the target and have all my appreciation.
You can order “Let the Napalm Rain” through (but hurry up: it’s a limited released):
