"Blood On Canvas" is the most ferocious album to date from the thrashers
DARKNESS from Essen, Germany. The songs are more aggressive and
heavier than anything else in the DARKNESS discography to date.
Although it is not a concept album, "Blood On Canvas" is not a mere
collection of nine songs created in one period, but a multi-faceted sound
painting, painted with the colors of wrath.
Musically, DARKNESS deliver the uncompromising and fast thrash metal
they have been known for since their debut album "Death Squad" (1987).
However, the compositions on this album are more complex and detailed
than usual, without losing any of the aggression, heaviness and
authenticity.
The lyrics are no longer just a description of the madness that determines
the course of this world, but get to the heart of the matter in a
straightforward and uncompromising manner.
