Bio:The inception of Clad in Darkness began in the winter of 1999 for guitarists John Benter and Coy Scottberg. Meeting in high school the two shared a common passion for music in general and metal especially. The idea was always to create epic far reaching soundscapes that transgressed the conventions of metal. Soon after the band would be complete with the addition of ex-Sapphist drummer Brian Rendina, with fellow members Casey Hogan handling the vocals and Chris Shive playing bass.
Mission Statement: Clad in Darkness is first and foremost a metal band, however, the conventions that tie one down to a specific mould of doom, black, post, death, or any other type of metal are not of interest to our members. Nor is metal something we strictly adhere to; our listening habits are eclectic and an influence on us: from post-rock to jazz, electronic to the blues, ethnic music, classical of all periods, and anything in between. We are fans of the avant-garde, experimental, and intelligent music and we draw inspiration from several artistic mediums and emotions. It is easier to define what we are not than what we are; we are not subjects of the close-minded confines of the average music world. It is our desire to create music that inspires us and our listeners; to create open ended music without self-inflicted limitation. Our quest is boundless.

Well I will buy your full length when you finish up. I help manage my brothers/bf band "Vintenar"... they decided to record the full length before any touring as well. I think its a good idea... its always an advantage to have a finished project for the fans. Good luck on your recording. I know how frustrating it can be! My brother recorded his drums tracks 4 separate times before he actually got the sound he wanted. Well worth the wait though!
I don't listen to them much anymore. They bring me back to when I was young and my brother was a big fan. I can definitely hear there influence. I hope to see you guys playing in Michigan sometime... I am always interested in seeing good local live metal!
Hey! Thanks a lot for your kind words... they are greatly appreciated.. :) Let me know if you guys ever want some photos done! I'll be more than glad to do it!

Throughout recent history, your planet has seen an increase of severe weather and tectonic anomalies that threaten your very existence. The Galactic Alignment is inevitable and its force will have devastating effects over the entire surface of your Earth. There is NO place to run, nor hide. Some structures will survive but No humans will. The very forces that created the Himalayan mountains are your proof. When India crashed into China is all thats necessary to demonstrate this Power. Having the perspective of observing these changes to your planet over eons has enabled us to accept this as part of the natural evolutionary process Giai goes through every 26,000 yrs. A benefit you cannot appreciate nor perceive. Heed this with the intensity reserved for all the science you can prove .. this will play out.
