My Darkest Red is a new dark’n’roll band founded by musicians from two early 2000s bands, Poisonheart and Dreamhunter.
This new project features a powerful mix of classic hard’n’heavy, inspired by rock icons such as Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne and Iron Maiden, combined with dark wave elements that recall the decadent atmospheres of The Sisters Of Mercy, HIM and The 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.”
On September 27, 2024, My Darkest Red released their last album ‘Midnight Supremacy‘, 2024, distributed worldwide by Plastic Head Music Distribution.
The CD booklet features the introductory liner notes written by Matteo Piotto (Meltalhead.it) and, among some special guests, Mickey E.Vil (The Mugshots) on keyboards.
The album was recorded at Sonic Bang Studio in Isorella (Brescia, Italy) under the guidance of Oscar Burato.
The cover artwork was designed by acclaimed Italian photographer Michele Gusmeri (www.michelegusmeri.it).
Bassist Andrea Verginella states about ‘The Flame‘:
“This song was written many years ago by our singer and had been locked in a drawer for a long time. We rewrote the arrangement from scratch, but the vocal line and guitar chords remain the same. Everything else was completely revamped and adapted to the album’s mood. The result has a melancholic and dark feeling. The bass line and the final guitar solo are inspired by the atmospheres you can hear on some of Bowie’s records from the 70s. Fabio’s intense vocal performance is the disillusioned chant of a survivor who doesn’t give up seeking to communicate with the most alive and truest parts of human beings.”
