DARKLIGHT

DARKLIGHT is the new project Frank Caruso,
from an idea of Paola
The idea came from the combination of Metal / Gothic and medieval music.
In the songs is always a melodic vein that It expresses his maximum potential in songs like Enchanted Night, a real Medieval "ballad", but the sound spins around a very heavy Metal sound halfway between Trash and Death, that for the male voice, always embellished with a guitar virtuoso and magnificent choral parts.
Alongside Frank, on guitar and vocals, we have Paola with his wonderful voice, tells this story enchanted ....

“… She’s escaping from her world and… like for magic…
in a magic night she is found againin a magical kingdom…
she realize to be observed, to feel a heartbeat that is not her…
of being listened in the deep of her heart… and… like for magic…
the two worlds meets together and intersected between them
and between the two something of magical is born…something magic…
a fantastic alliance in which they encouraged and supported each other
drawing strength one from the other, in a perpetual tension, grazing itself…”

‘It’s the expression of the pure guitar entertainment, without a commercial business and chosen dictated from the tendencies of market, a joyful following of notes only for the pure taste of music”. This “properly artistic” position has carried to a new contact with the label and to a distribution choices addressed to new shapes of commercialization like Internet.
