Darker Half play METAL: drawing on the roots of classic heavy metal, they have been inspired by thrash, power, death, speed and more to build a unique style all their own.

Darker Half is based in Sydney Australia, and is based around the dual guitars of Dom Simpson and Vo Simpson, Whose screaming power vocals contrast with his brutal doom growl. The guitar harmonies of Vo and Dom intertwine with searing lead breaks across the solid yet adventurous bass and drums of Simon Hamilton and Benito Martino.

The band have set March 9th as the release date for their up and coming full length ‘Duality’ and are currently touring Australia in support of it. So make sure to catch the band on (at least) one of the following dates:
