Info:

Dark the Suns is a melodic gothic/death metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland. The band combines beautiful piano melodies and dark vocals with atmospheric yet energetic style.

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 the leading Finnish metal print magazine, Inferno Magazine. Year later Mikko settled to Jyväskylä
(home of acts like Sotajumala, Swallow The Sun, Manufacturer’s Pride, Ghost Brigade, Soulfallen). Soon Mikko had an actual band to play with and this lead Dark The Suns to sign two album contract with Firebox Records.

Bands debut album In Darkness Comes Beauty was released in November 2007 and it was licensed to Grau/Greyfall for G/A/S markets. The band released The Sleeping Beauty -single in spring 2008 and took their first touring steps with Baltic mini-tour in May 2008. October 2008 saw the release of The Dead End MCD and it reached a position on the official Finnish singles chart.

After the release of the mcd, the band started to record their second album, both at their own home studio and at Studio Watercastle (SaraLee, Sunride, Silentium). The end result is splendid mixture of crushing atmospheres and energetic melodies mixed with haunting catchiness. The band will tour Europe in autumn 2009.
