Darkc3ll

Darkc3ll is an industrial rock/metal band from Brisbane, Australia.[1][2] Their music portrays themes of horror, evil and death.[3]

History

Darkc3ll was formed in November 2010 by Postmortem Matt and J. Dracman. They released their debut album REBOOT : REPEAT in February 2012 through RTD Records/Rocket Distribution.[4]

In September 2013, Darkc3ll released its second album, Dark Verses via RTD Records/Rocket Distribution.[5][6] Before its release, two singles were released separately from the forthcoming album; "Six Hundred & Six Six"[7] and "Exorcist".[8]

When Darkc3ll released their album cover, it was met with some opposition by a Melbourne promoter, who took exception to the theme and cancelled their show.[9][10]

Darkc3ll toured Australia in October and November 2013 in support of their album, Dark Verses. The single, Exorcist, reached number 4 on the iTunes Metal charts on 5 July 2013. The official video for the album was released for their second single, Exorcist.[11] The video was released on 21 August 2013 and filmed by Darklight Studios. The single reached number 4 on the iTunes Metal Chart.[12]

In 2014 Darkc3ll released "Hollywood Scars", a single from their soon-to-be released third album.[13] The band also performed at the Soundwave Festival[14] and took part in the follow-up tour.[15] They also performed at the Big Sound Music Festival.[16]
