My Darkest Red is a new dark'n'roll band founded by musicians from two early 2000s bands,Poisonheart andDreamhunter. This new project features a powerful mix of classic hard'n'heavy, inspired by rock icons such asAlice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourneand Iron Maiden, combined with dark wave elements that recall the decadent atmospheres ofThe Sisters Of Mercy, HIM andThe 69 Eyes.
The band states: "In our previous recording experiences, we have never been afraid to experiment, but in this project we combine several genres that are rarely mixed together, to satisfy a wider pool of listeners: we will take them on a journey, from dusk till dawn, exploring different moods. From heavier songs to dark ballads, from arena-anthems to gothic atmospheres, the common theme of this album is the melody, even on the most aggressive tracks; the lyrics show our love for old horror movies and gothic literature. Our debut album aims to honour the golden era of hard'n'heavy, but with the awareness that we are in 2024. We’re proud of this achievement and, for us, it represents a further evolution of our journey as musicians, showing our passion, stubbornness and love for music."
