This Canadian combo raised up from the dust of their members collective previous project, called THE MASS, who did release an album in 2005 on Great White North Records. Due to the existence of an american band by the same name, this doom metal outfit decided to change their name to TOWARDS DARKNESS. With this new monicker the band released a second album titled “Solemn” in 2007 (on Twilight Fundation Records) which started to quickly spread their name through the scene, especially thanks to the many plays their videos got on the Youtube platform.
TOWARDS DARKNESS is now ready to drop their massive bomb, a new incredibly heavy album that will definitely establish the band in the elite of Doom Metal music.
With this new album their sound got much more complete and intense: in fact on top of their obscure Funeral Doom roots, reminding of certain Finnish projects like UNHOLY, THERGOTHON, SKEPTICISM, SHAPE OF DESPAIR the band recently coloured their sound with anger and rage, making it rather more aggressive and apocalyptic than just hopelessly depressive.
In one simple sentence you can imagine Towards Darkness as THE perfect meeting in between those mentioned obscure european doom outfits and a typically american post-doom sound ala NEUROSIS.
