Ottawa Blackened Death Serene Dark Streaming New Album“Enantiodromia” Before Officially Out July 17th

Canada’s Serene Dark will be unleashing their new album “Enantiodromia” this coming Friday, July 17th. “Enantiodromia” (pronounced en-an-ti-o-dromia) is dark, entrancing, and orchestral while maintaining the key elements of death and black metal. Overall, the album explores the confrontation between the shadow aspect of the personality and the integration of it into the self to create wholeness.  Influenced by philosophy, stoicism, hermeticism, and the occult. The album, lyrically, is a journey towards individuation by the exploration of human darkness and transforming that pain into something tangible and meaningful. In essence- to lose one’s self entirely to reach perfection.

Before the full length’s official release, the band is streaming the album in full via BeheadingTheTraitor’s YouTube channel HERE.

The band adds:

“This album will be received as a new but familiar sound for any previous fans of our last band (Endemise)… We want our fans to get lost in the music. We want to pique some interest in fans of this style of music… We have written a lot of songs and chosen our top ten favourites.”

Under the name Endemise, the band released Far From The Light (2013) and Anathema (2016), but now with the new name, Serene Dark has made a refreshing start with elements of the previous band still lingering, but taking the songs and style to a new level on this record and experimented with various instruments and vocal styles. This album sets a new caliber and standard for Serene Dark.

“Enantiodromia” is recommended for fans of Septicflesh, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Rotting Christ.

The album will be available on Bandcamp (CD), Spotify, Apple Music.

Music Video – ‘Of Serpentine Form’ here.

1. Dualitatem
2. Of Serpentine Form

“‘Enantiodromia’ is a ten track, fifty-five-minute offering with which the band “plans to unleash a blistering force of evil” and does so, I think, in the finest Metal tradition… This should be of interest to fans of Dimmu Borgir, Insomnium, Abigail Williams, Fleshgod Apocalypse Septicflesh, and Rotting Christ. For me, it had definitely been worth the wait.” – Metal Talk

“Epic, blackened death metal…if those words excite you then you’re in for a real treat. Serene Dark are at the top of their game with a new album that is the pinnacle of imagination when it comes to this style of metal. As classy as it is heavy, as brutal as it is attractive and as impactful as it is numbing.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“I really like what Serene Dark have done here. I’m a sucker for creatively mixed genres, and the lyrical journey from repression to acceptance to healing was just what the doctor ordered for me right now. The first album under their new name, I see Enantiodromia as a transition step towards bigger and better things for the band, and I can’t wait to see where their path leads.” – Angry Metal Guy

“All in all, whether you know the band as Serene Dark or Endemise, this latest album is a stirring reflection of inner darkness and turmoil set to a delicate, almost fragile in its complexity, arrangement of traditional and orchestral instruments. Expect great things to come.” – Antichrist Metal Mag

“The adopted musical style reflects Serene Dark’s genesis: melodic, soothing, somber and heavy.” – Metal Hammer Portugal

“SERENE DARK’s “Enantiodromia” represents a significant advance from the band’s previous manifestation and gives listeners a seamless, varied, and epic articulation of black metal, melodic death metal, old school death metal, and deathcore whilst focusing on a fascinating and poignant psychological exploration.” – Mosh Pit Nation

“Altogether, SERENE DARK represents a significant advance from the band’s previous manifestation and gives listeners a seamless, varied and epic articulation of black metal, melodic death metal, old school death metal and deathcore whilst focusing on a fascinating and poignant psychological exploration.” – Black Metal Daily

Serene Dark Premiere Single ‘Trance of Disintegration’ via NoCleanSinging

New Album “Enantiodromia” Out July 17, 2020

 

Canada’s Serene Dark has a new album “Enantiodromia” coming out for Summer 2020, originally slated for a June 5th street date, due to the Covid 19 pandemic, the band has slated a new release date for July 17th.

“Enantiodromia” (pronounced en-an-ti-o-dromia) is dark, entrancing, and orchestral while maintaining the key elements of death and black metal. Overall, the album explores the confrontation between the shadow aspect of the personality and the integration of it into the self to create wholeness.  Influenced by philosophy, stoicism, hermeticism, and the occult. The album, lyrically, is a journey towards individuation by the exploration of human darkness and transforming that pain into something tangible and meaningful. In essence- to lose one’s self entirely to reach perfection.

In anticipation of the album’s release, the band is unleashing it’s next single ‘Trance of Disintegration’, which is currently premiering via NoCleanSinging HERE.

The band adds:

“The aim of the song is to hit you right out of the gate with a lightning-fast drumroll into a heavy guitar chugging rhythm with choir and string ensemble orchestrations. The idea behind this was greatly inspired by “Progenies of the Great Apocalypse” by Dimmu Borgir.”

Under the name Endemise, the band released Far From The Light (2013) and Anathema (2016), but now with the new name, Serene Dark has made a refreshing start with elements of the previous band still lingering, but taking the songs and style to a new level on this record and experimented with various instruments and vocal styles. This album sets a new caliber and standard for Serene Dark.

“Endemise is yet another Canadian metal band that has managed to create something fucking awesome and special.” – The Dirty Room

“Black metal vocals, death metal riffs and hella lot of blastbeats. Endemise strikes with ‘Anathema’ and does so in an unrelenting manner. This extreme metal chaos will surely crush some norms settled upon by high culture tyrants.” – Lords of Metal

Like a blackened metallic phoenix rising from the ashes of their previous band Endemise; Serene Dark intends to take their music to new heights. The very name Serene Dark is a powerful statement of intent; in the words of guitarist Dale Sauve

“Our music can be soothing and melodic at times, and dark and heavy at other times, so Serene Dark was a perfect fit.”

Morphing from Endemise to Serene Dark was a natural progression.

“We have been making music with our current line-up for the past decade and decided a new name and fresh start was in order. Our former band Endemise formed over 15 years ago and it went through so many line-up changes and musical directions, we decided to put that band to rest and create Serene Dark as a fresh start.”

Inspired by Septicflesh, Behemoth, Watain, Dark Funeral and Dissection, Dale describes Serene Dark’s music as “dark, heavy, entrancing, emotional, orchestral.”

Dale has high aspirations for Serene Dark’s new music.

“It will be received as a new but familiar sound for any previous fans of our last band… We want our fans to get lost in the music. We want to pique some interest in fans of this style of music… We have written a lot of songs and chosen our top ten favourites.”

The album has a strong concept behind it.

“The album explores the confrontation between the shadow aspect of the personality and the integration of it into the self to create wholeness.  Influenced from philosophy, stoicism, hermetecism and the occult. The album, lyrically, is a journey towards individuation by the exploration of human darkness and transforming that pain into something tangible and meaningful. In essence- to lose one’s self entirely to reach perfection.”

Serene Dark’s new album “Enantiodromia” (pronounced en-an-ti-o-dromia) is due out July 17, 2020.

Like a blackened metallic phoenix rising from the ashes of their previous band Endemise; Ottawa’s SERENE DARK intends to take their extreme metal to new heights. Morphing from Endemise to SERENE DARK, these demons have joined forces with YouTube channel Black Metal Promotion for the premiere of their first single ‘Where Time Drowns Still’ off their forthcoming yet to be titled debut album, which was recorded at Wolf Lake Studios deep in the woods of Quebec. The upcoming album ushers a new era for SERENE DARK as the band worked with longtime producer Mike Bond (Loviatar) and session drummer Eric Morotti (Suffocation) to create a 10 song full length that plans to unleash a blistering force of evil. ‘Where Time Drowns Still’ lyrics deals with pain and loss, a theme that will be seen throughout the record.

Guitarist Dale Sauve adds:

“‘Where Time Drowns Still’ is one of our darkest songs to date and is a perfect representation of Serene Dark and the album we have nearly finished.”

The album has a strong concept behind it. “The concept of the album is the confrontation of repressing the shadow aspect of the personality and deals with the unconscious mind. The idea is have the lyrics for each song almost mirror the Divine Comedy as the main character is thrust deeper into his own psyche, like Dante’s ‘Descent Into Hell’”.
