April 25, 2016

The Finnish cinematic metal band Dark Sarah have just released a music video for their song, Little Men. The song is off their upcoming album, The Puzzle which is set for release later this year. Check out the video here: Musically “The Puzzle” album will continue the cinematic metal sound, but this time a bit heavier and faster, combining different music styles spiced up with black humor and mystical stories with creatures of the Underworld. Story: In the end of the debut album called “Behind the Black Veil”, released last year through Inner Wound Reordings, the Evil Tree had broken into pieces and Dark Sarah´s soul with it. She did not die, but was left in a loop between two worlds, between life and death. She was sent down to the River of Death to drift along the streams and she ended up on an island in the middle of a mighty ocean. She woke up on the shores of the misty island. It was a magical rocky island, the rocks were black [Read More]

Their over-the-top wild dance tunes swirled around the Belasco’s stunning dome and landed in our ears with the precision of a venue built for music, enhanced by an excellent sound system.

The audience reciprocated with conga lines and cheers. The experience was heightened by excellent lighting and engineering work by the Belasco’s staff, who I understand had [Read More]
