BIOGRAPHY:
Dark the Suns plays beautiful, emotional and at the same
time very energetic and aggressive metal music with catchy
melodies, dark vocals and occasional angelic female choirs.
Dark the Suns was originally founded as Mikko's solo project
in 2005 in Valkeakoski. The first demo - where Mikko
played all the instruments himself - was selected as
”Demo of the Month” in Inferno Magazine. In the beginning
of 2006 Mikko settled to Jyväskylä and the project grew into
a real band when Juha, Inka and Markus joined Dark the Suns.
Dark the Suns recorded a second demo with the full band
in August and was signed to Firebox Records soon after that.
The debut album In Darkness Comes Beauty was released
in November 2007. The Dead End -mcd saw the daylight
in the late autumn 2008 and it hit the official
Finnish Single Chart. The second album All Ends in Silence was
released in March 2009. Eliisa sung backing vocals in
the album, and joined the band in the autumn. After that there
were some changes in the band's line-up. Dark the Suns'
third album Sleepwalking in a Nightmare was released by Firebox Records in December 2010.
The band has played lots of gigs in Finland during the last few
years, and made also a short Baltian -minitour in
May 2008 and a show in Moscow in summer 2009.
