Biography

Dark Embrace is a Spanish band influenced by the dark subgenres of Heavy Metal. The band was born in Galicia, northwest area of Spain, which may explain their creative obsession with everything dark-related.

Originally founded in June 2000, the band produced three demo works from 2000 to 2004. These works showed the spirit and potential of the band, getting good reviews from the Metal press.

In 2005 the band recorded their first album at Stage One Studio (Tankard, Rotting Christ, etc..) with Andy Classen (ex-Holy Moses).

After inking a deal with German label Armageddon Music (later Wacken Records), Dark Embrace saw their first official album, The Rebirth Of Darkness, launched through the Internet with digital distribution, but a physical album never was released.

From 2006 to 2008, the band increased their success with a good amount of shows and tours with different famed bands such as Sepultura, Amon Amarth, Destruction, Watain, etc...

After an hiatus of 6 years, the band started to work in their new album, The Call Of The Wolves, with the mighty Snowy Shaw behind the drum-kit (ex-member from bands such as King Diamond, Sabaton, Therion or Dimmu Borgir). The recording sessions took place through Sweden and Spain at Sound Industry Studios and Estudios Mafia. The mastering of the album was done by well-known Swedish producer Jens Bogren (Kreator, Opeth, Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Amorphis or Dark Tranquillity among others) at Fascination Street Studios.

The Call Of The Wolves is released in 2017 by 7 Hard Records with an awesome artwork created by master drawing Gustavo Sazes who already did works for Arch Enemy, Morbid Angel or Kamelot.

Dark Embrace and the new album, The Call Of The Wolves, are bringing power and freshness to the metal music scene.
