Tales Of Darknord

Tales of Darknord is a Greek dark ambient and electronic collective formed around multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Vangelis Kyriakidis, who performs as Darkmoon. They were joined by Dimitris Patsios on keyboards and Kostas Frantzis on guitar. Their debut album, "The Book of Souls," came out in 2015, followed by "The Weight of Eternity" in 2017 and "The Obsidian Sky" in 2019.

Their music leans into dystopian themes and atmospheric soundscapes, with songs like "Dead Paradise" and "Glass Flowers" building immersive, often haunting environments. The sound combines ethereal synths, sweeping strings, and Kyriakidis's vocals over electronic beats.

Some listeners have raised concerns about the band's lyrical focus on despair and nihilism, though the group has described their work as meant to provoke thought rather than promote darkness. Their catalog explores existential dread and the fragility of existence, avoiding straightforward narratives in favor of mood and texture.
