Emerging from the shadows of Los Angeles, The Dark have dropped their powerful new single, "Head Of The Snake", delivering another raw and visceral glimpse into their apocalyptic soundscape. Alongside the release, the band has launched pre-orders for their highly anticipated self-titled debut EP, set to arrive on February 21st, 2025, via Arising Empire.
Fronted by Craig Johns Jr and featuring Alan Ashby (formerly of Of Mice & Men) on guitar, The Dark’s lineup is rounded out by bassist Nick Goins and drummer Derek Vautrinot. The EP promises to be a harrowing exploration of the darker facets of human nature, drawing inspiration from industrial and 90s rock icons like Nine Inch Nails and Deftones, blended with a modern edge.
The band has already made waves with their debut single, "Chemicals", which racked up over 200,000 streams on Spotify within a month and earned international radio play. Their subsequent single, "Slip Away", climbed active rock radio charts and further cemented their reputation as a rising force in the rock scene.
