You typically haven’t heard much in the way of metal coming out of Russia in the past. Actually, I can’t think of any bands I’ve ever seen that are from the great land of perma-frost and vodka. I have a feeling that’s about to change though. Russian metal band September in the Dark is trying their hardest to get signed to Roadrunner Records, where they currently hold the #1 metal spot in the “sign me to Roadrunner” deal. The band’s sound is a combination of death metal and hardcore groove metal, that of the likes of Sepultura or Skinlab. Check out the song “My Queen and 23 Black Roses“.

SEPTEMBER IN THE DARK, the side-project of STARDOWN guitarist/vocalist ARDENTIS, presents a first single “My Queen and 23 Black Roses” which has been recorded specially to the 09.09.09 date – the presentation of the project will take place on this date as well. There are several guest appearances on the record: Pavel Lokhnin (ex-Perimeter) – drums; Konstantin Kashtalap (Icon In Me) – bass
