SPECTRAL DARKWAVE

Formed in a trans-continental pact between twin brothers Steve and Dan Kennedy, the symphonic death metal of London based Spectral Darkwave captures epic fragments of horror from across time, space and the multiverse. Fusing the limitless possibilities outlined in early computer music, European and doom metal, the band’s grinding rhythms and twisted melodies deliver a crushing reminder of the depravities carried out in the name of human progress.

Using their mechanical creation ‘The Slavedriver’ (Strings/FX/Horror) to bring the full vision to existance and with hundreds of shows under their collective belt, Spectral Darkwave offer a live experience unmatched on the unsigned circuit - especially if the venue allows them use of the green, alchemical flame they pack in their flight cases. Their live show is not to be missed.

With their debut album Last First Contact out 30th March 2015, the band will unleash a journey into the many hells of mankind, with each song forming an exhibit in the grotesque gallery of human endeavor. The album weaves a tapestry of horror wrought on the cries of bereft mothers, nuclear strikes and epic orchestral flourishes. 

“We’ve always really respected songs that paint a picture and sound like they’d look. Giving you choruses just when you want and then dropping from massive heights – we hope it hits the spot”, comments Steve (Vocals/Guitars/Programming).

After the departure of long-time collaborator and bassist Ben Bueno, Jon Stokes took up the mantle, bringing a unique power and finesse as well as considerable skill in the production of the upcoming release. Last First Contact was recorded on a range of home studio setups making use of the best digital tools the band could get their hands on over the course of two years. As Drummer Dan explains, “For the scale we were going for, you can’t half arse it these days – no one wants your garage recording, go hi-def or go home!” Vocals were recorded in the positive atmosphere of La La Land studio in North London where the recording really came to life under the guidance of engineer Fred Lagergren.

With the release of Last First Contact, Spectral Darkwave will launch their grand venture upon the ears of the metal masses around the country, world and beyond.

Dark adventure awaits!
