Dark Sky - Living & Dying
Some of you out there will remember that I was ‘charmed’ by “Edge Of Time”, the second album from German melodic rock band Dark Sky, which was released by GoodLife Records in the autumn of 2002. The follow-up, called “Living & Dying”, is the first for new label AOR Heaven and it marks another huge step forward for this sympathetic fivesome from the south of Germany. 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. Some will call Dark Sky a typical German band, but a fat lot I care. As long as the quality is so high as what we get here, it doesn’t matter of which origin the band is. Guys, I’d like to welcome you to the first league of German melodic rock bands, already populated by such great bands as Bonfire, Jaded Heart and a whole lot more.
