As Darkness Falls
If praise should be given to a band for great accomplishments in 2010 so far it should be Ayshire five piece “As Darkness Falls”.
The band was formed in February 2009 after competition of line up, by bassist David Crossley and drummer Jamie Dobbie following the demise of their previous band “Illegal Eye”. With the addition of guitarists Scott McCallum and Craig “DJ” Brown they produced 5- 6 tracks but were still without a vocalist. After a two year search and countless failed try outs, David Leggate contacted the band and after a few practice sessions was immediately offered the gig.
As uniqueness in bands go vocalist David Leggate admits that
“We have our own unique sound that comes together from every individual, with a mixture of the heavy end and our melodic harmonies catchy choruses and the fact that we're not trying to be a specific style or sound.”
This unique sound comes across very strongly within each of their songs taking influence from such great metal band as Pantera and Metallica amongst other genres and bands. These influences mixed in with impressive song writing and passion for their own music results in something truly enjoyable listening.
Within the scene of unsigned bands “As Darkness Falls” are considered fairly new and yet despite this they have managed to create an impact. They have played support to such bands as Glasgow metallers “Bleed From Within”, and prog-metal band “Enochian Theory”
The bands biggest achievement this year though has to be winning the “Best Newcomer Award” at the Scottish Alternative Awards in last month. After four months of public voting they were awarded the title over such bands as Make my Day, Bronto Skylift and The Darien Venture.
Whatever the future holds for “As Darkness Falls” if this year so far is anything to go by it shall be very successful.
The band are currently recording their debut E.P. which will consist of 6-7 songs, but currently have older demos available online via MySpace.
“As Darkness Falls” are currently booked and confirmed to perform at Killiefest in Dirty Martini's on April 10th.
