THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON Enters the World of League Of Legends with Fifth Single, “Legends Never Die”

Debut Album, 'Metamorphosis',

Out May 12, 2023 | Pre-Order NOW

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON enter the world of League Of Legends and present their epic fifth single, entitled “Legends Never Die”! The band transforms the song - which gained hundreds of millions of streams with its original version, sung by the incredible Against The Current - into a metal delight, bringing it back to life with the incredible vocal lines of Melissa Bonny.

It’s the next step in their journey that takes them from the depths of Moria up to the Iron Throne, showcasing the metal side of well known songs from video games, TV shows and big movies. The multi-talented quartet that consists of members of Feuerschwanz, Amaranthe, and Ad Infinitum will release their highly anticipated debut album, 'Metamorphosis', on May 12, 2023 via Napalm Records.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON on "Legends Never Die": 

“‘Legends Never Die’ - exactly one month until the release of our debut album 'Metamorphosis'! To shorten the waiting time we present you today our version of the mega hit from Against the Current and invite you into the gaming world of 'League of Legends'! Can you hear us screaming out your name?”

Watch the Official Music Video for “Legends Never Die”

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON started with a bet between AD INFINITUM singer Melissa Bonny and Hans Platz, the guitarist of FEUERSCHWANZ. Whoever lost owed the other a "dare". Hans won and challenged Melissa to record a metal version of their first ever single, "Jenny Of Oldstones", and the rest is history! Exploring the fantastical lives of famous pop culture heroes since their childhood, the multitalented musicians transform soundtracks of internationally recognized movies, TV shows and video games into powerful metal tracks on the debut album 'Metamorphosis'. 

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON don’t just limit themselves to cover versions, but also include new, original songs dedicated to their favorite warriors. Marching into the great worlds of The Lord of the Rings, the band paints the Grammy-nominated soundtrack "May It Be", featuring Charlotte Wessels (ex-DELAIN), in a new light, while the mystic song, "Misty Mountains" (feat. EVERGREY’s Tom S. Englund) of The Hobbitfilm trilogy underlines the tragic story through melodic folk vocal lines and rousing guitar riff choirs.

Like the seven untamed seas, the melodies appear in energetic and rousing waves, while others head towards the shore in an exciting, elegant and soulful rhythm. Exploring the untouched sides of these multifaceted selected songs, the multinational band shifts the world famous soundscapes into new adventures, taking listeners back to forgotten times. Just like the moon, every song has an unexplored side, now discovered by THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.

The album is an amazingly vivid and beautifully thought-provoking piece of art, which will thrill fans of bands like Leprous, Port Noir and Haken.

RING OF GYGES about the video:

"We spent a very cold couple of days out in the breathtaking landscapes and adorable little villages of South-Western Iceland with our fantastic director Gaui and a fantastic cast of actors, creating the video for our latest single 'Parasite'. Fun fact: one of the scenes is filmed inside the home of the local sheriff in Guðjón's hometown. We hope you enjoy it at least half as much as we enjoyed making it, although Gísli has insisted on a warmer location for the next shoot".

“Double Trouble / Lumos! (Hedwig's Theme)”

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, the fantastic metal quartet formed by members of Feuerschwanz, Amaranthe and Ad Infinitum, love to explore unseen lands and dive into the adventures of worldwide heroic characters. Sharing their stories with a dedicated fanbase, they now announce their debut album, 'Metamorphosis', out May 12, 2023 via Napalm Records.

With this album, the unit around Ad Infinitum vocal queen Melissa Bonny and Feuerschwanz guitar virtuoso Hans Platz dip their soundscapes into mystical worlds, reinterpreting famous soundtrack themes and writing their own songs dedicated to their favorite characters.

Setting off to the fantastic universe of Harry Potter, the first single, “Double Trouble / Lumos! (Hedwig's Theme)” is an expertly metallized medley mix featuring the tune of “Hedwig’s Theme”, cut from the beloved movie theme song featured throughout the entire film series, and the bewitching “Double Trouble”, taken from the third movie. The song comes along with a lavish music video and shines with additional input from sensational violinist Rusanda Panfili, who complements the mystical and eerie atmosphere.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON on the new single:        

“We are happy to finally visit Hogwarts with you and to show you its dark side. When we first talked about transforming 'Double Trouble', we were not sure the song would allow us to do it. But strangely, combined with the classical violin and the heavy guitars, the explosive drums, the enchanting harp, and Melissa’s mesmerizing voice, the magic happens! We are thrilled to have Rusanda Panfili join us on this quest. Among other things, she is a violin soloist for Hans Zimmer, one of the most famous movie score composers. Together, we created a metal cover of this legendary movie score written by John Williams.”

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON don’t limit themselves to cover versions, but also include their own songs dedicated to their favorite warriors.

Calling for solidarity, the harmonic “The Gates of Time” tells the story of the time traveling portals in the famous The Legend of Zelda series. Marching into the great worlds of Lord Of The Rings, the band paints the Grammy-nominated soundtrack "May It Be", featuring Charlotte Wessels (ex-Delain,), in a new light, while the mystic song "Misty Mountains" (feat. EVERGREY’s Tom S. Englund) of The Hobbit film trilogy underlines the tragic story through melodic folk vocal lines and rousing guitar riff choirs.

The multi-million streamed League of Legends soundtrack theme, “Legends Never Die”, comes back to life through a stunning makeover due to the incredible vocal lines of Melissa Bonny. Just like the moon, every song has an unexplored side, now discovered by THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.

The band adds:

“We are excited to finally announce our debut album 'Metamorphosis'! At the time, we just had one song (‘Jenny of Oldstones’) and were asked to make a full album, we had to start from scratch a journey which led us from the depth of Moria all the way up to the top of the Misty Mountains. We are beyond proud to also present you three original songs on the album! It goes without saying that we cannot wait to hear your response to what we have been preparing for more than a year. Welcome to the dark side!”

London's GRACE SOLERO presents powerful 'Love and Addiction' single from new 'Metamorphosis' LP.

"Bitter-sweet Jeff Buckley-esque" ~ Time Out London

"Raw, intense, evocative" ~ Noddy Holder (SLADE)

"Simplistic allure, rhythmically succulent and vocally brazen" ~ Powerplay Magazine

"Top-notch performance, passion, talent and energy... distinguished style and stage presence that demands your attention... seriously bad-ass songwriting and song-structures" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

London-based alt-rock / metal artist Grace Solero presents 'Love and Addiction', featured on their new 'Metamorphosis, a power-packed labour of love that is raw, grungy, dreamy and atmospheric all at the same time.

"Love and Addiction is a powerful representation of love in all forms and across all genres. It's an intense journey bridging unruly passion and the yearning for clarity and stability," says Grace Solero.

"When I came up with the first few lines of the melody and a few lyrics of the verse it was clear enough that a dark broody Pandora's box had been opened. I felt like a surge of thick honey was running through my throat."

High energy and highly dynamic, Solero's mercurial voice is of astounding range and a powerful stage presence. Conveying deep emotions with alternating darkness and light, her songwriting shies away from the ordinary. Sonically, apart from their guitar-based sound, the band also uses less conventional instruments, such as the cello, Hammond B3 organ, psaltery and even singing bowls.

Mixed by Chris Brown (Radiohead, Muse, Ride, INXS, Gary Moore, The Waterboys) and, this 9-track offering was mastered by Andy 'Hippy' Baldwin (The Who, Interpol, Oasis, Blur, UB40, Stormzy) at London's Metropolis Studio.

Recorded and engineered by Jon Clayton (The Monochrome Set, Vic Godard And Subway Sect) at One Cat Studio in London, the band members themselves arranged and produced this collection. Solero is accompanied by Californian lead guitarist / vocalist Dan Beaulaurier, Swedish bassist Bjorn Zetterlund and Welsh multi-instrumentalist Dave Guy on drums and percussion.

Not long ago, the band previewed the title track 'Metamorphosis' on the trail of super-charged melodic singles 'Orange Sky', 'Awake' and 'Lucid Dream', the latter of which has recently gained support via BBC 6 Music.

"This album represents a turning point, the need to break free from things that kept us stuck in the past. It’s a deep journey through the transformative power of love leading to emotional freedom. Each song’s emotion feeds the next song and creates a beautiful soundscape. From yearning to change, from unhealthy passion to mystical love, from emotional apocalypse to taking risks, from melancholy to healing and being reborn," says Grace Solero.

Earlier albums ‘New Moon’ (2009), ‘Hundred Years Apart’ (2013) and 'Awake’ (2018) garnered support from BBC Radio 6, XFM, BBC London, and magazines such as Classic Rock, Guitar Techniques, Powerplay Magazine, Sonic Shocks, and Sonic Cathedral.

Solero's performances are highly dynamic and energetic, both sonically and visually. They've performed everywhere from intimate clubs to large stages in Europe, USA and Canada, supporting the likes of Motorhead's Phil Campbell, Alan Merrill (famed songwriter of the Joan Jett hit ‘I Love Rock ’n’ Roll’) , Bernie Torme and Arthur Brown.

Grace collaborates on The Twilight Zone, a new project with Dan Beaulaurier and legendary pedal steel player BJ Cole (Elton John, Cat Stevens, Bjork, R.E.M). She also co-writes and performs with The Vibrators’ Knox and Mariangela Demurtas (Tristania), and has performed alongside Slade’s Noddy Holder, co-starring in a musical production of Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’ at London's Union Chapel.

The ‘Metamorphosis’ LP is out now and is available on CD from the artist's store or digitally via Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music.

London's Grace Solero offers first adrenaline-filled taster of 'Metamorphosis' LP

‘Bitter-sweet Jeff Buckley-esque’ ~ Time Out London

‘Simplistic allure, rhythmically succulent and vocally brazen’ ~ Powerplay Magazine

‘Raw, intense, evocative’ ~ Noddy Holder, Slade

"Top-notch performance, passion, talent and energy... Grace Solero has a distinguished style and stage presence that demands your attention, with some seriously bad-ass songwriting and song-structures" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

‘Bewitching’ ~ Ginger Broderick, New York TV Show

London-based alternative rock artist Grace Solero presents 'Metamorphosis', the lead track from the forthcoming album by the same name. Raw, grungy, dreamy and atmospheric rock, this follows earlier singles 'Orange Sky', 'Awake' and 'Lucid Dream' with the latter recently played on BBC 6 Music.

This 9-track offering was mixed by Chris Brown (Radiohead, Muse, Ride, INXS, Gary Moore, The Waterboys) and mastered by Andy 'Hippy' Baldwin (The Who, Interpol, Oasis, Blur, UB40, Stormzy) at London's Metropolis Studio.

Recorded and engineered by Jon Clayton (The Monochrome Set, Vic Godard And Subway Sect) at One Cat Studio in London, these songs were arranged and produced by the band members themselves.

"The album's title track 'Metamorphosis' was initially a guitar riff played by our drummer and multi-instrumentalist Dave. The whole band joined in and I added melody and lyrics. The verses are more introspective with the choruses turning into anthem-like explosive energy. It's about being bold in order to move forward," says Grace Solero.

"Metamorphosis break free... For it's easy not to see... You gotta run run run run run... Burn the bridges of despair... Now it's time to dare"

Between their previous albums ‘New Moon’ (2009), ‘Hundred Years Apart’ (2013) and 'Awake’ (2018), the band has received BBC Radio 6, XFM and BBC London support and has been featured in magazines such as Classic Rock, Guitar Techniques, Powerplay Magazine, Sonic Shocks, as well as in Sonic Cathedral Webzine.

High energy and high on dynamism, Solero is a one-of-a-kind artist. With a mercurial voice of astounding range, her powerful stage presence points to dance, acting and gymnastics training. Conveying deep emotions, darkness and light combined, she shies away from the ordinary in her songwriting.

Solero's talent is matched by that of Californian lead guitarist / singer/songwriter Dan Beaulaurier, whose style displays a rare mix of technical mastery and real soul. Innovative Swedish bassist Bjorn Zetterlund and Welsh multi-instrumentalist Dave Guy on drums and percussion round out the band.

Solero's performances are highly dynamic and energetic, both sonically and visually. They've performed everywhere from intimate clubs to large stages in Europe, USA and Canada, supporting the likes of Motorhead's Phil Campbell, Alan Merrill (famed songwriter of the Joan Jett hit ‘I Love Rock ’n’ Roll’) , Bernie Torme and Arthur Brown.
