Posted on Saturday, September 18 @ 22:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Darkwater, who will be playing at ProgPower Europe on Saturday, October 2, will be releasing through Ulterium Records their latest, Where Stories End [according to a press release; however, the Ulterium Records website states a November 12 European release date (November 23 for the US, as we noted on Sept 5) -ed.].

"Darkwater was formed late 2003 in the western parts of Sweden," continues the press release. "During the first years of existence they only did a few selected shows in Sweden while working on the material for their debut album. During summer and fall 2006, Darkwater recorded and mixed the album, and early 2007 a deal was inked with the Swedish label Ulterium Records.



"Calling The Earth To Witness was released in May 2007 and received extremely good reviews from all around the world. Darkwater's perfect blend of melodic and progressive metal was something the scene was craving for, and while taking inspiration from bands like Symphony X, Dream Theater and Evergrey, Darkwater have for sure created a sound of their own.

"In May 2008 Darkwater recorded and released a music video for the track 'The Play II' and in June they went did their first show in the US, at the Bay Area Rock Fest together with Liquid Tension Experiment [and] Jeff Scott Soto among others.

"During 2009 the band parted ways with their bass player Karl Wassholm, and stepping in as bass player for the band is Simon Andersson [ex. Pain of Salvation].

"In April 2010 Darkwater started to record their new album Where Stories End. The famous Studio Fredman was chosen for the mix and mastering of the album, and during summer the album was completed. The band also recorded a music video for the opening track of the album, 'Breathe'.

"With all the great reviews and response for their debut album, Darkwater surely felt some pressure to produce a great follow-up album, which they managed to do without any doubts. Where Stories End is a masterpiece of melodic progressive metal, and will not leave any fans of the band or the genre disappointed."
