WHEN DARKNESS FALLS
Acoma Pueblo is home to the oldest continuously inhabited village in the US. Now it gives something to carry the warrior spirit of the Native peoples to the world, When Darkness Falls.
Theses Native sons were drawn together in October 2004 and first went by the name Tormented Soul. They drew upon musical inspiration by playing covers from some of their favorite bands like; Metallica, Pantera (RIP Brother Dime), OZZY, Rob Zombie, Killswitch Engage, and others from this genre.
Patrick “Bucky” Vallo- drums, Rollin Valdo-guitar, and Larson “Dutch” Valdo were drawn together and were the catalyst that would spawn When Darkness Falls. They were soon joined by Brandon “Turtle” Valdo- vocals, Lawrence “Jay” Garcia- Bass, and Zachary Garcia- additional vocals.
The Spirit flowed through them and inspired them to begin writing their own original material. They drew upon life experiences and their Native culture and have written over 20 original songs. They have played many local shows. One of their most memorable was a benefit show in December 2005 for the victims of Hurricane Katrina in front of 1,100 people.
When Darkness Falls continued to grow and develop as a band and develop their own unique style and proving that Native Americans can rock.
In 2008 When Darkness Falls signed to an independent label named Mysteria Records. They went into the studio and laid down some of their best tracks. These tracks were then sent to LA to be mixed and mastered by Rob Tarango who has worked with artists such as; Tiffany, George Lynch, Souls of We and many others. With the tracks mastered, When Darkness Falls prepared to unleash “A New Defense” on an unsuspecting public.
Friday, June 13th 2008 saw the release of their sonic assault at the El Rey theatre. It was a success and the CD continues to sell well.
The future is wide open for When Darkness Falls. They have become role models for young music loving Natives and have proven that Natives can hold their own amongst their metal counterparts. They also continue to carry on the proud warrior spirit of their people.
