DARKNESS DYNAMITE album trailer available on TheGauntlet.com!
France's newest and one of their most over the top heavy bands has released a trailer for their album. DARKNESS DYNAMITE will be shooting a video in September for a track that's yet to be decided from their new album, ‘The Astonishing Fury Of Mankind’, which was released last month.
DARKNESS DYNAMITE comments on the trailer:
“The concept behind the album is to put a mirror in front of your face; you've got light and darkness in yourself. This video is a mirror in the front of the face of everyone. These women are blank people, with no real life, no particular passion, and they wanna live thru the cliché of a rock n roll band to feel alive and special. Their parents will ask themselves how could their daughters turn into people with no self respect? Even for the band, this kind of evening is kinda regular with darkness…and they are right now in conflict with themselves, will they assume to see what they are?”
Tracklisting ‘Reflection’: 1. Ruins And Dead Ends
2. Horns
3. What Is Worst
4. Driven By Hatred
5. Swallow
6. The Last
7. Open Wound Salvation
8. Ashes
9. Needles
‘Reflection’ was produced in The AYD Studio, mixed/mastered at Studio Mega by Christian Silver (The Crown, Sonic Syndicate, Impious) and is set for release the 6th of July 2009 through Metal Blade Records in the UK.
BORN FROM PAIN singer Rob undergoes another eye surgery!
Bad news for BORN FROM PAIN singer Rob who had to go to hospital for another eye surgery. Here´s the update straight from the band camp:
What's up everybody! Most of you might have heard about Rob's eye operation.
After a seemingly successful recovery, Rob returned to tour two weeks
ago. However, due to his eye problem returning, he had to drop off
tour last week to undergo surgery again.
Rob will not be fronting the band this weekend in Eindhoven and the upcoming July shows.
However, Born From Pain will be playing every show this month with a
substitute singer except for Vainstream, which we had to cancel. As it
looks now, we will return to full strength as off August.
Rob would like to thank everybody for their support during the last five weeks!
