““This is where the Connecticut bands started hitting the stage, first up was an outfit called As Darkness Dies. These guys were good, with a solid turnout by some of their most ardent supporters. A solid heavy metal band that has influences in their music of New Wave of British Heavy Metal.””

“The progressive metal outfit from The Constitution State has toured with such dignitaries as Anthrax, Testament, and Queensryche. Guitarist Paul Coleman formed the group in 2011 but its current lineup—Coleman, Harry Blackwell (drums), Andrew Purchia (bass), Martin O'Brien (vocals), and Scott Allen Williams (guitars)—coalesced in 2013. When it comes to heavy metal in Connecticut, As Darkness Dies is the alpha and omega.”

““Hey to all the “As Darkness Dies” fans.. Just listened to the much anticipated new album soon to be released and let me first say, NO fan of our genre of music will be disappointed. From the onset you can sense that my friends have worked like hungry dogs creating this album. I say that because of the passion and delivery that can be felt with the inspirational lyrics and fantastic melody lines in each song. Everyone shines here, and the vocal delivery of Martin is just over the top. I hope you all have the same experience I had on the first listen.. this is an album you will want to hear again and again. Congrats guys, Well done!””
