Dark Sky is not a newcomer band, but a seasoned act, since they were formed in 1982, in Germany. “Signs of the Time” is their seventh full-length studio album and for sure, one of their best. The band has released a new album, which will satisfy the fans and win them new audiences. Because Dark Sky presents a dozen of powerful, passionate and inspired hard rock/melodic metal songs, which sound so beautiful and catchy. We are talking about earworms, about songs, which will linger in the brain of every listener! Fresh and interesting song ideas, nice arrangements, warm vocals, heavy guitars, a heavy, solid rhythm section and a bombastic production, all contribute to a fantastic album, which won’t let anybody down! Listen to the refrains, listen to the solos, listen to the energy and the groove of the compositions, and you will understand why we find “Signs of the Time” so listen worthy! Where hard rock merges with modern metal, Dark Sky aren’t just delivering the goods – they offer a monumental album, full of melodies, full of emotions and led by the lyrical vision of the Germans. In a time that the listeners have a thousand options, “Signs of the Time” is a modern, melodic hard n’ heavy release, which brings yesterday’s quality to the digital character of our days. Sophisticated, elegant, vintage but not dated, Dark Sky are still alive and we should heed their call – if you like melody in your metal, Dark Sky is here for you! Go and get this album!
