Darker Half play METAL: drawing on the roots of classic heavy metal, they have been inspired by thrash, power, death, speed and more to build a unique style all their own. Darker Half is a melodic metal band from Sydney Australia. Their sound is rooted in traditional metal drawing on only the heaviest, most face-melting forms of steel. Twisted dual guitars and explosive solos are laid across a rock solid yet inventive rhythm section, topped off by a vocalist whose range can match any of rock’s greats, making this a band who can really set themselves apart. They have released three albums in Australia — Duality (2009), Desensitized (2011) and Never Surrender (2014). In 2016, Never Surrender was released in Europe and was quickly followed by their EP Classified. They have shared a stage with some of metal’s finest acts including Queensryche, Edguy, Sonata Arctica, Dark Funeral, Children of Bodum, Nightwish, Accept, Helloween, Stratovarius, Rage and more. Members of Darker Half have played in the touring bands of Tim Ripper Owens, Paul Di’Anno and Blaze Bayley and singer/guitarist Vo Simpson worked with Stu Marshall (Death Dealer) on his Empires of Eden project contributing vocals on two songs and a guest guitar solo. Metal icons that feature on the album include Udo Dirkshneider, Rob Rock, Ronnie Monroe, Sean Peck and Ross The Boss. Through all this, Darker Half have established themselves as one of Australia’s premier metal acts, drawing together multiple influences t
