Behind The Tracks: The Obsidian Resurrection - As Darkness Falls (Single) (2024)

Being the album's title track, we feel that this song encapsulates all major aspects of what this band represents musically. It has a bit of everything. From slick grooves to frantic riffing, all while keeping it tied together with gothic orchestration, As Darkness Falls is a perfect example of what this album stands for. This track at one point was titled, Written In Blood, but during the production of this album, and the writing of lyrics for it, it was ultimately changed to As Darkness Falls, which fits the overall feel of these compositions thematically. Since these songs are all from back in the day, around the time of our old demo, Enslaved By Nightmares, As Darkness Falls carries those themes over from the old demo to continue the audible nightmare that we started over two decades ago.
