Darius

Three guitars – what do they use them for ? Crushing sonic waves of instrumental grandeur. Darius manage orchestral songs without pompousness. Raw riffs. Simple and repetitive chords you wanna play with too much excitation. Riffs that hurt your wrist and cover your guitar with blood. Riffs that once layered form an atypical, choral and fairly violent heavy instrumental rock. Like a big cake, made of real and healthy ingredients, nutritive, fat as fuck and surprisingly digest. 

They shared the stage with bands like Meshuggah, Deftones, Wang Wen, Toundra, Long Distance Calling, Jambinai and… Henri Dès at festivals like Rock Oz’Arènes, Rock Altitude, Hummus Fest, etc. This led them to record GRAIN (Hummus Records, 2015), CLÔTURE (Cold Smoke Records & Czar of Revelations, 2018) and their very new album VOIR (Hummus Records, 2020) produced by Amaury Sauvé (Birds in Row, Death Engine, The Prestige). They’re obviously a live and down-to-earth band. No wonder then if they sound on record like they are in real-life: warm and frank, loud and fun.
