about:

DARK DONOVAN RETURNS AGAIN! For their third outing, Dark Donovan strikes back with their rawest, leanest effort, EMBRACE! This time Tom (guitars, vocals) and Dennis (drums) are joined by long time collaborator Ali Abolghasemi (bass) and Jared Falquecee (guitars) who was featured on the band's first full recording, BRAINSTORM (2022). Together they bring forth the metal in what was already a moody, atmospheric ensemble. EMBRACE, which lyrically studies the dual nature of humanity and its shadow self, lulls you into a false sense of security with DREAMSHINE before taking you on a hellaciously musical tractor ride through a haunted, mirrored funhouse. Produced once again at Powderkeg Studio in Long Island, NY it is definitely their most complete statement up to now. Buckle up, buttercup! You're in for a ride!
