The Darker my Horizon is a UK based modern melodic hard rock band, mixing the sound of late 80’s arena giants with todays techniques & stadium fillers. Support from Damaged Goods, a west Cumbrian no nonsense Rock n Roll band! If you like your metal traditional this band are right up your street!
The Darker My Horizon released their debut album "Acquiesce" in late March 2015 to quite the fanfare. 2016's follow up "No Superhero" cemented The Darker my Horizon's credentials. Both albums sitting it dozens of Top 20 albums of the year.
These songs, a mixture a hard rocking anthems to heartfelt ballads lead to headline & festival appearances all over the UK, and high profile billing with the likes of Nazareth, Enuff Z'nuff, Geoff Tate's Operation:Mindcrime, Steve Grimmett's Grim Reaper, Leatherwolf, Tony Wright (Terrorvision), Eric Martin (Mr Big) and many many more.
An E.P in 2018 - Phoenix: Vol One - was a very welcome stop-gap (featuring the very popular "Spit" & "Natali") until album #3..."Seize The Day" (2019). The reaction was phenomenal, songs like "Carpe Diem" & "Still Alive" have garnered 10's of thousands of views and an amazingly positive response. Up there with "Dear Olivia" from No Superhero.
The band is songwriter Paul Stead - lead vocals and guitar. Mark Stephenson - lead guitar. Paul Hamilton - bass. Russ Barnett - drums.
Damaged Goods will be supporting and the boys do a mixture of covers and original songs. The last time they played they rocked our socks off even Ben pulled a hamstring dancing to the headline! They have two generations of one family in Bob and Ben Cullen so it really is a family affair!
