Journey Into Darkness: Dark and sinister but on a whole new level…..

Tweet

Brett Clarin states, «Back in the 90s I played in a death metal band, Sorrow. After we broke up I started writing dark synth music that was reminiscent of the intros and interludes on death metal albums. I combined the sounds of death, doom and black metal, classical symphonies and synths. The music has since morphed into symphonic Black Death metal with guitars and vocals. Dark and sinister but on a whole new level».

«The music on my album Multitudes Of Emptiness This has been many years in the making and an emotional journey. I set out to create music that was melodic and dare I say beautiful but at the same time heavy, intense and sinister». The track To Be Human Is To Be Inhuman,

History is littered with mankind’s atrocities

Learning to kill each other with greater velocity

The endless struggle to fulfill needs and desires

Everyone is capable of intolerance and violence

In ancient fields and country plains

Crowded cities  filled with remains

Fighting throughout history

Ancient battles for supremacy

From tribal warriors fighting with hands and spears

To nations torturing and starving millions of their peers

Humanity has been an example of hatred

This is how our species has been bred

Slaughter on a massive scale

It’s the strong who prevail

Bodies of captives and slaves

Lie in legions of graves

In the ground and deep in caves

Death comes in waves

Conquer, control and exert dominance

To help keep society homogenous

Stand in solidarity to destroy all the others

Help kill their sons and rape their mothers

Way before Rome in ancient lands

Lay slaughtered bodies rotting in sand

Now living in the modern era

The number dead is no better

A single person may be horrible or pleasant

But grouped together hatred becomes present

People banded together in a tribe or nation

Ultimately causes others to suffer deprivation

Slaughter on a massive scale

It’s the strong who prevail

Bodies of captives and slaves

Lie in legions of graves

In the ground and deep in caves

Death comes in waves

Countless examples of the atrocities of man

From the largest nations to the smallest clan

Committing torture rape murder and slavery

Heinous acts mistaken as bravery

Encoded in our offspring

Time will not change a thing

Inhumanity in our past

Forever it will last

Where there are humans there is suffering

Gorging upon corpses recurring

Growing off of pain and misery

It was and always shall be

Multitudes Of Emptiness has eight tracks. Four of which are a unique style of symphonic black death metal and three tracks are dark interludes, but just as the original Journey Into Darkness, the interlude songs are not minimal or drawn out. The final song is a hybrid of the old synth style and the new heavy guitar style, an emotional instrumental that blends heavy doomy guitars with synths and orchestral parts.

The lyrics are well thought out and will help draw the listener into the intensity and emotion of the music. In keeping with the motivation that gave birth to Journey Into Darkness, all instruments on Multitudes Of Emptiness are virtual. This allows for extreme flexibility in the sound and the music.
