THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON have announced their debut album!

Titled Metamorphosis, the upcoming album from the band formed by members of FEUERSCHWANZ, AMARANTHE and AD INFINITUM is their debut full-length album and is scheduled to be released in May next year, via Napalm Records.

On the upcoming debut, the band dip their soundscapes into mystical worlds, reinterpreting famous soundtrack themes and writing their own songs dedicated to their favourite characters.

Speaking about the debut album, the band says, “we are excited to finally announce our debut album Metamorphosis! At the time we just had one song (Jenny Of Oldstones) and were asked to make a full album, we had to start from scratch a journey which led us from the depth of Moria all the way up to the top of the Misty Mountains. We are beyond proud to also present you three original songs on the album! It goes without saying that we cannot wait to hear your response to what we have been preparing for more than a year. Welcome to the dark side!”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming debut; Double Trouble / Lumos! (Hedwig’s Theme) from Harry Potter.

Speaking about the new single, the band says, “we are happy to finally visit Hogwarts with you and to show you its dark side. When we first talked about transforming Double Trouble we were not sure the song would allow us to do it. But strangely, combined with the classical violin and the heavy guitars, the explosive drums, the enchanting harp and Melissa’s mesmerizing voice, the magic happens! We are thrilled to have Rusanda Panfili joining us on this quest. Among other things she is a violin soloist for Hans Zimmer, one of the most famous movie score composers. Together, we created a metal cover of this legendary movie score written by John Williams.”
