Rock is a relatively young genre, but that doesn’t stop it from featuring an extremely diverse range of sounds. These can range from the extremely heavy, like death metal and deathcore, to soft and even acoustic groups. Obsidian Darling’s new EP, In The Dark, falls on the latter end of the spectrum. Releasing on 19th April, 2018, it delivers seven tracks of beautiful, entrancing sound.

Death and extreme metal have always been somewhat of a niche genre in metal. It has nonetheless managed to attract a huge following over the years, with some of the biggest names becoming global brands. California-based Raven Black is a more recent entrant into the maturing genre with their new album 13.

Aftermath is an excellently composed and recorded album. It really showcases a combination of consistency and growth. KEVLAR is consistent in their drive for quality metal, but has grown in terms of composition and sound. It will definitely be a highlight release for this band, and showcases some of their best traits and skills.
