Some of the most common words used to describe Dark Theory are sinister, creepy, twisted, filthy, noisy, interesting, crazy and original. Addtionally we have been compared to bands as varied as Black Funeral, Burzum, My Dying Bride, Cannibal Corpse, Mr Bungle, Nirvana, Pendulum and Super Mario.

Dark Theory is a Black Metal/Doom Metal/Industrial Metal band taking influences from a wide variety of genres. Originally formed in September 2006 as a regular 4-piece with a more alternative metal and metalcore influence, the band went through many changes before all members where either fired or quit until there was just one left to continue the project alone in late 2007. The genre shifted from Metalcore to a more Thrashy style and on April the 25th 2008 a 5 track CD named 'First Blood EP' was completed. A second CD was later made that expands greatly on the Black Metal and Doom Metal style that was started off in previous recordings. A third CD (named Every Kind of Filth) was finished and is by far the best one as by now the songs have been greatly refined into a pure but experimental mix of Black Metal and Doom Metal, Email or add spriter_rifle@hotmail.com or leave a message here if you want a copy or to trade (also avaliable is the equally as good and similary styled 'Disgust for Humanity' demo). In reaction to the increasingly Gothic direction of both Black Metal and Doom Metal, as well as Industrial Metal becoming more commercial, Dark Theory strives to be extreme and unique, mixing all three genres into one truly original sound. As of December 12th the band added Callum Wilkinson on Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals, Oliva Kennet on Rythem Guitar and Backing Vocals and Ben Cooper on Drums. Dark Theory also took a Black Metal approach in rejection of the local Deathcore and Metalcore overload because they all sound the fucking same. If you're from England and play in a Black Metal band (or any other type of rock or metal band I like it all really) or know of one please tell me, I'd love to trade demos with you or something.
I'd like to credit A43, irrlicht, sapht, blahbahdeeboda, jace, acclivity, ERH, starpause, VEXST and markystar for creating the samples used in my songs.
"i really enjoyed "Every Kind Of Filth" this album is the shit man, very cool, the way that you use such good timing to and create many different styles of evil, very cool, i like the music even better now that i have the albums. i will let you know when i listen to the new one. this has got to be one of the most interesting and experimental black metal i have gotten to listen too in a while." ~ Rotting in an Open Field
"received the CD yesterday, played it in the car on the way to work today. As ever, it's a fantastic headfuck -- track 3 is possibly the most disturbing track I've ever heard (I hope to God that isn't you in the background...!). Great stuff. >:-)=" ~ John Wood (Balbulus and Church Ruins)
"Listened to the CD. It has a pretty grim sound, which I like, and plenty of atmosphere, although the intro was faily strange!" ~ Baba Yaga
It appears that in my absence (while at uni) the old folks have been and cleared out my room. I cant find any copies of either of those releases, which is severely pissing me off. I can, however, instead, offer you:
1x Magick Rituals I: The Magick Seal (Intra Tenebrae/Moon/Mystified) 1x "In Darkest Night, In Darkest Hour" (Demo limited to 10) 1X "Alone And Insignificant" (EP through TWWLF Records, in my top friends) 1x special handmade (by me, Anti) ultralimited to 1 version of the forthcoming EP through Thorn Lacerations.
Will that make up for the lack of what you wanted? Just to clarify, i'm very sorry about this - I dont usually go back on my word once something has been agreed.
Shit yeah I want the 2nd demo. Send me everything and anything. I'm a total WHORE for UKBM dude. Hell, BM in general I guess I should say. And that goes for any band that reads this comment too: If you've got a demo, ep, album, download, merchandise :), and you want it reviewed, get in contact with me. Any genre, from anywhere.
And now that I'm done whoring myself off, have a good one. Subscribe to the blog and you'll know instantly when the disc you sent me is reviewed.
It wasn't here last night. But tonight? Maybe... Again, I think I told you yesterday but in case I didn't, I'll let you know when it arrives. Thanks again, incidentally.
Hails yeah man, and i like it all. i think my personal favorite is "Every Kind Of Filth" i really enjoyed "Funeral Fire" i think it was. 3rd song on this is so out of my realm. it is a great album bro. much respect and thanks for the trade. people i let listen to this stuff have never heard anything quite like it. very interesting and cool creations you make man.

It's fucking boring dude. Some days are so long it's unreal. But hey, that's why we make music, right? And why I started doing this stuff here too. It helps to fill in a day, and then you soon realize that, when you're actually busy, it's hard to do everything you want to do.
Needless to say, I'm not busy today. It seems that a lot of bands are just not interested in having their music reviewed.
Don't most bands revolve mostly revolve around someone's massive ego though? There's always a little bit of ego involved in art, as it is the ego that pushes creativity and the individuality within creativity. Whether it's music or painting or something altogether different, there's always going to be a little bit of ego. And when only one person writes the music, such as with 30STM, there's only one ego contributing to the art.
