about
Hail Darkness is an AI experiment in the vein of an occult rock/doom metal band. According to the creators, the intent was to see if it was possible to create an AI band in an attempt to "have them 'infiltrate' into the physical reality" and "compete with the majority of underground bands" (Source). The original press information and description for the fictional band follows below. Hail Darkness was a female fronted occult rock trio from South Carolina, USA, whose sound can be described as the bastard daughter of doom and psychedelia. Founding member Joshua (bass) grew up in Phoenix where the first songs were recorded and produced around mid 2020, which resulted in the birth of Hail Darkness… along with main composer Jez on guitar and Emmet, also the band's designer, on drums. Hail Darkness moved to Jez’s home turf of South Carolina in the early days of the pandemic, setting up the home studio to begin an extensive three year recording session recording up to 4 hours of material. Initially the goal was to recreate the vintage sound of their idols: T-Rex, Jefferson Airplane, Pentagram, Shocking Blue, Focus, Jes Franco soundtracks, Black Sabbath, Lucifer Rising, Mountain, Captain Beyond and many others… and mix with the sounds of their more modern favourites like Cathedral and Electric Wizard. In the studio Hail darkness is accompanied by a host of friend multi-instrumentalists also referred to as the Hail Darkness Coven, who help out with various instruments to create
