The artists of heavy rock music known
as Blacken The Day have released their latest LP album, “Eternal
Eclipse.” The record includes eight original tracks for an
approximate total listening time of 45 minutes. It has been proudly
published on the Devil Frost Records Corporation independent music
label without the direction of the corporate music industry. Bringing
tones, tempos and emotions from nearly every extremity of the
spectrum, “Eternal Eclipse” proves Blacken The Day to be one of
the strongest rock appearances of late 2017.
Joliet, Illinois' Blacken The Day cite
as artistic influences names from a variety of genres and scenes,
from Jimi Hendrix and Lynyrd Skynyrd to Slipknot and Mudvayne, from
Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails to Lacuna Coil and K.D. Lang, from
ELO to Kansas, and from David Bowie to Bjork.
While this unlikely melange may not
paint much of a sonic picture, the fact remains that elements of each
do present themselves in “Eternal Eclipse.” If Lacuna Coil had
perhaps moments during which Bjork sang lead while Jeff Lynne of ELO
played piano, and if the following track featured Slipknot's chunky
guitars on a chord progression written by Mudvayne, and if the whole
affair had been produced by Bowie using reel-to-reel recordings with
the raw-or-nothing principles of Hendrix – then the result could
sound very much like Blacken The Day's “Eternal Eclipse.”
The album will appeal to fans of lyric
depth, too. Asked to comment on the overall themes of the record,
each member had a different perspective, faithfully recorded below:
“Well, that's interpreted more so by
the listener, but I always felt it was a story of overcoming the
struggles in life by any means necessary,” writes Christopher Poss.
Blacken The Day's Dragmire says, “Don't
be afraid to create something beautiful to share with the world, be
it music, poetry, paintings, or anything that makes you feel good to
make. The world will seem less ugly with more art.”
Says Christopher Graham of the project,
“This album will let people know that there is always someone out
there that can relate to what you are, or have gone through. This
album will be the voice of the voiceless. Also, good and original
rock music is not dead …”
Cassandra Ann writes, “The entire
album tells a story front to back. A person is anxious, freaked out,
can't sleep. You start wondering what the problem is. As you listen
to the album you realize the person is going through a lengthy period
of reflection after a bad breakup/divorce. After sabotaging
him/herself, all he/she wants is to become numb to the pain. The
resolution is somewhat bittersweet as nobody gets better, even if the
situation becomes clear in the end.”
“Eternal Eclipse” from Blacken The
Day is available online worldwide from over 600 quality digital music
retailers now. Get in early, fans of dark alternative rock.
