DARK DREAMS is the amalgamation of 2 solo projects Darkness Eternal and . Both members are committed to constant improvement, in terms of songwriting and recording techniques.
The music on offer is a rare blend of Traditional British Metal, taking the influences of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, and adding a unique style of its own. The songs range from Soft Rock to Speed Metal, with each one offering something different.
The music is recorded and mixed at home, using synth drums and guitar effects pedals. A great deal of multi-tracking gives these songs a well produced sound, considering that fairly inexpensive equipment is used in their construction. Vocals are complimentary rather than being the dominant feature.

DARK DREAMS as an idea began when the two of us began creating music together for the first time, instead of separately as it had been done before. This occurred sometime in late 2002, but the new band name was not coined until mid 2003.
