After more than two decades of silence, Finnish cult black/epic metallers and pioneers of the scene Darkwoods My Betrothed carve their long-awaited comeback in stone by signing a worldwide record deal with Napalm Records!
In 2020, the old horde from the original line-up rejoined forces, now augmented by former session keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen as a full member of the band, bringing a significant contribution to the creative process, and Kai Hahto (both Nightwish) as session drummer.
Founded in 1993 in Kitee, Finland, Darkwoods My Betrothed quickly gained a cult status in the black metal underground. In 1995, they released their debut album, “Heirs of the Northstar”, followed by sophomore album, “Autumn Roars Thunder” (1996), and “Witch-Hunts” (1998). Shortly after, the pagan flame of Darkwoods My Betrothed became but a fleeting glimpse in the nocturnal darkness of Eastern Finland. But it never faded away completely.
Be prepared for an onslaught of melodic black metal and epic majesty!
Line-up:
Pasi Kankkunen - Vocals, guitar
Jouni Mikkonen - Guitar
Teemu Kautonen - Bass, backing vocals
Tuomas Holopainen - Keyboards
Kai Hahto - Drums (session)
