ART OF DARKNESS
Mind Suicide
Self-finanaced Release
 

Based out Italy and influenced by the likes of Deicide, Death, and Sepultura, Art Of Darkness plays a technical brand of death metal.  Formed in early 2000. Art Of Darkness' 2002 demo (their second release) "Mind Suicide" contains 5 tracks of quality compositions that display their proficiency for writing strong material and avoid the pratfall of recording more songs than necessary just to have a full-length CD.  Vocalist Flavio alternates between gutteral growls and occasional clean, yet still extreme vocals.  Sergio and Alessandro trade off with melodic death metal riffs that are sharp and never get muddled in the overall mix. 

Assisting with the recording of this disc was Tommaso Talamanca of the Italian death metal band Sadist.  Talamanca obviously has helped the band as the overall recording has a strong enough production to compete with bands that have label support.
