About the bands new single: ‘We are Blind’
“Preoccupied by material things, glued to our devices, oblivious to some of the rotten things happening around us. If only we really opened our eyes and looked to see what was happening. Poverty, crime, pollution, the list goes on. What will we leave for the children of the future? A photograph.... a souvenir of our once beautiful world.”
The song is traditional akin to some of Darkyra’s earlier compositions, Symphonic and Cinematic with a Gothic Metal vibe.
The vocals, a beautiful blend of two very different but distinct voices, haunting at times, chanty and semi operatic with a rock edge thrown in for good measure.
Accentuated by the many beautiful orchestral elements surrounding their metal counterparts, the soaring melodic metal guitars, and bass and the steady but carefully thought-out drums meld it all together. Everything is in its place and the playing from each musician is always based on what is best for the song as a whole with each having their moment to shine.
The track, co-written by vocalist Gina Bafile and guitarist Krissy Sanfead (Parabelum), (Krissy performed as part of Darkyra 2024, the two of them have been friends and music colleagues for many years.) Beautifully arranged by George Boussounis (Athens).
The track runs for 5:30, there's also the instrumental version which excludes the vocals so you can hear the instruments with better detail.
