Dark Sarah - "Illuminate" (video)

Οι Dark Sarah μας έρχονται από την Φινλανδία. Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από οκτώ χρόνια από την Heidi Parviainen (η οποία είχε μόλις αποχωρήσει από τους Amberian Dawn) κι αποκαλούν την μουσική τους Cinematic Metal. Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τρεις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (συν ένα ep και τέσσερα singles) και μας παρουσιάζονται κάπως έτσι:

«Dark Sarah is a cinematic metal band from Finland. It is lead by Heidi Parviainen, a classically trained singer, songwriter and a story teller. Musically Dark Sarah combines elements of film music, metal music, music theater and opera. Dark Sarah's music is built around continuing dark fantasy stories.»

Το νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα και τέταρτο συνολικά full length album τιτλοφορείται "Grim" κι αναμένεται στα μέσα του τρέχοντος μήνα...

Heidi Parviainen: «"Illuminate" is the name of the second ’orb’ that the protagonist Luna finds. It is a magical purple orb to summon the powers of wind and the moon. Luna asks the moon to illuminate her and to revive her magic powers to fight against the darkness upon the city of Grim.»
