Darker Than Black is a Norwegian heavy metal band from Oslo. They've released four studio albums since 2013, starting with their debut 'Howling' that year. Their music pulls from black metal and thrash, with songs like 'Tsuki Akari' and 'Deadly Work' showing their range from melodic to aggressive.
The band works as a quartet with Emma Nova on vocals, Torbjørn Hagen on guitar, Eirik Lund on bass, and Christian Johansen on drums. Their 2021 album 'Eclipse' was a concept record dealing with themes of loss and darkness, following earlier releases like 'Abyss' in 2015 and 'Ashes' in 2018.
They've toured in Europe and North America, sometimes playing shows with other metal acts. Their sound has developed across those four albums while keeping a foundation in heavy riffing and Nova's distinctive vocal presence.
