Metal Anarchy

Time for the next edition of Metal Anarchy’s “new music showcase,” the feature where I introduce you to artists that readers of this site may find interesting. This time I have a Q&A with DarkFlow singer Sean Horror.

METAL ANARCHY: Tell me a little about your band:

SEAN HORROR: DarkFlow is a band with many interesting things, we do heavy/thrash metal with many other styles, mixing gothic, symphonic, some would say we also are progressive and we use the element of theatre and drama. A combination of reality and fiction. DarkFlow is a band that has very dark and intense music, sound, style and lyrics. We do Shock Metal as a matter of fact, because we decided to give shows mixed with a strong stage performance and also that me as a frontman I do a really theatrical and dramatical performance. DarkFlow is a band that if you see onstage you’ll always have a show to say “damn this is intense”.

METAL ANARCHY: Who are your main influences?

SEAN HORROR: King Diamond, Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, Blue Öyster Cult and Pink Floyd. There are some Ozzy Osbourne vibes too. But we respect our influences but we’re no copy cats, also we respect how music was done in the 80’s metal scene so we do music with solos and details that some new bands are not doing anymore.

METAL ANARCHY: What is your latest release and why should readers of this site check it out?

SEAN HORROR: Our latest release is “Imminent End”, a very strong album that talks about the end of the human race, the apocalypse and the fight between good and evil. Giving evil the win. It is a very well produced and composed album with amazing orchestrations, compositions done by Flow, our lead guitar player and a very well constructed narrative. Now, the sound is amazing and it was all produced with Andy LaRocque (King Diamond), who recorded, mixed and also mastered the whole piece. We won an award for the best self produced album.

METAL ANARCHY: What can people expect when they go to your live shows?

SEAN HORROR: Intensity, well done shows and have some great rock and roll metal fun !

METAL ANARCHY: Where do you see your band heading in 5 years?

SEAN HORROR: I Hope with two new albums, signed with a very good major label and touring all over the world. At least we have that standard and we will do everything to get there.
