TRACKLIST:
Band : Dark Sky Country : Germany Release : Living & Dying Year : 2005 Genre : Hard Rock File Info : mp3 320 Info:
The recordings took place in the Bazement Studios near Wiesbaden with
nobody else than Markus Teske in the producer’s seat. The man is known
from his work with Vanden Plas and surely knows how to set down a solid
sound. In the past some reviewers accused Dark Sky of being too
keyboard-orientated, but that’s surely not the case with this new album.
Of course the keykoards still play an important role in the overall
sound of the band, but in some of the tracks the guitars are prominent.
The strength of this album lies in the variety of the material. As far
as I’m concerned, it’s obvious that the songs come from the heart and
that this has resulted in exciting and catchy songs, compact yet full of
melody and emotion.

Band : Dark Sky Country : Germany Release : Edge Of Time Year : 2002 Genre : Hard Rock File Info : mp3 320 Info:
DARK SKY have been founded as a school band in the very early 80’s in
the South German city of Rottweil. Financial problems of their record
company at the time made a release of their completely finished debut
album during the late 80’s impossible and the band more or less caught
it a day. After a couple of line-up changes, DARK SKY seriously
returned to the scene at the end of the 90’s and signed a record deal
with Malaysian label Life Records. The official debut album “Believe It”
was recorded in the following time and brought the band lots of success
in South East Asia in 1998. In the year 2000, this album also saw the
light of day in Europe, now being signed to German label Goodlife
Records. Shortly before the start of the recordings for album No.2,
“Edge Of Time”, guitarist Ashes left the band again and was replaced by
another former band member – guitarist Steffen Doll – who definitely
left a brilliant stamp on his comeback album. “Edge Of Time” was
released in Autumn 2002 once again on Goodlife Records. In the
beginning of 2004, the band started to rehearse and pre-produce new song
material for the next album. In August 2004, DARK SKY signed a record
deal with German based label AOR HEAVEN. The studio recordings for
“Living & Dying” finally were finished at the end of 2004 together
with producer Markus Teske (VANDEN PLAS) at his Bazement Studios near
Wiesbaden, Germany.
