    Artist description
    Endarkened plays a unique style of death metal which combines the traditional heaviness with more technically intriguing instrumentation. Sounding like a fusion of Morbid Angel and Carcass with some Dream Theater musicianship mixed in, Endarkened has assumed the title of a Progressive Death/Black Metal band. Endarkened achieves a unique sound through the use of 7-string guitars, synthesizers, and the lack of a bass guitar. Believed to simply clutter the tightness of the songs, Endarkened decided to remove the bass guitar after the 2nd album. Endarkened also pursues the rather challenging method of studio recording. In order to maximize tightness between all three band members, the inital drum track, and both rhythm guitar tracks are played live during recording. Endarkened firmly believes this maximizes the quality of all recorded songs.

    Artist History
    Endarkened was formed by brothers Adam and Christopher in early 1997. Starting off under the assumed name 'Maximum Distortion', one album was released. The band wanted to assume a heavier style and Drew was brought into the band. Drew brought extremely firm death metal and thrash roots to the band, as well as incredible guitar talent. After the successful release of a second album, Endarkened has reached its stride, and has now began writing and recording the progressive yet heavy opus' that had always been in mind.
