DARKDARK

NOTE: This page is about a metal band. Not to be confused with a pop band of the same name!

This page is in the process of being updated - thanks to WS for all the help with this page so far!





BAND NAME: Darkdark
GENRE: Raw Black Metal, Ambient (early), Black Metal (later)
STATUS: Changed name
(Split-up under new name, Light Shall Prevail)
LOCATION: USA (Illinois)

This artist no longer identifies as Christian.

About this band, Wavy has said:
"Darkdark started more as a black metal band that made fun of the shtick of the whole black metal scene, but to still make great music on top of that. We (DD was a 3-piece band for a while) felt as though we succeeded, regardless of others opinions."[1]

Despite some Christian releases being done under the name "Darkdark", WS still considers those to be "LSP releases".[2]

Lineup:
Wavy Svendersuhn / "W.S." - Unknown (early), Everything (later)

Past members:
Lava - Vocals
Zuulfahkar Grav - Vocals, Bass

Defeat the Reign of the Horned One Through the Light of Christ (NOT SURE IF RELEASED)

This album was 100% definitely released after the project changed its name to Light Shall Prevail. However, it was recorded under the Darkdark name, and this artwork was shared online. I checked with WS about this. He's pretty sure this went unreleased until the name change, but even he's not entirely certain.

1) There were several things released in the same year, but I don't know if they're listed in the right order. 2) The missing track length for "Anti - Evil / Anti Satan". 3) Anyone have lyrics? 4) Apparently there are several versions of the artwork for "Goatcrush". Anyone have more info on this? 5) Are we missing any compilations that Overwhelming Grimness appears on? 6) Several formats are missing. 7) Was the "Defeat the Reign . . ." album released under the name Darkdark?
