birdistheword I lay on the beach of life and was blown away by Dark Suns "Everchild".
Of course I could mention the dozy demenear of Porcupine Tree and the dark-eros-appeal-gothic Kontinuum, but Dark Sun is way too unique & mighty to be confronted with pigeonhole thinking. This cinematic trip they offered me at the first listening sight has been extraordinary. And there's been no lack during this felicitous dramaturgy. All thumbs up fellows!

Stéphane Gallay On a donc, avec Everchild, un album qui tient bien la route, mais qui souffre d’un manque de personnalité propre. Il mérite cependant qu’on s’y intéresse.

Hardo I own all of there albums. Until now Existence was my favorite with 9 out of 10 points. This one is 8.5 out of 10!
A really great one!

about

The ideal synthesis of melancholy and progressive energy

When Dark Suns approach an album, they never do things by halves, but to realise their fifth full-length, the band rose above themselves: The fact that they spent their entire label advance to record in renowned Funkhaus Studio in Berlin, Germany, with producer Yensin Jahn (Alice Cooper, Mando Diao) testifies the musicians' conviction of and belief in the quality of their work. Eventually, the prog/art rock institution financed a top-class mix with producer Peter Junge in London via crowdfunding in order to give their new material the final touch.

After embracing the world with arms wide open on their "everything goes"-record "Orange", the Leipzig-based group delves into the realm of sleep with "Everchild", searching for eternal childhood - escapism allegorised, one could say, a longing for the past as the allegedly best place to be … yet not merely in a nostalgic way: During their slightly wistful retrospective, which sees the group revisiting thoughts and stylistic elements from "Existence" (2006), they are rather exploring possibilities to satisfy their lasting hunger for innovation and pursue their ideal by synthesising melancholy with progressive energy.

An intense fusion, to be sure, thanks to abundant musicality: Evgeny Ring (saxophone) and Govinda Abbott (trumpet) have become full members besides former live-only drummer Dominique "Gaga" Ehlert, whereas original skinsman Niko Knappe focuses solely on singing - a brave step just like Dark Suns' reinterpretation of Tori Amos' "Yes, Anastasia", its message at once summarising the core of what "Everchild" is about: "If you're really looking for a challenge, put up with yourself."

about

Dark Suns Leipzig, Germany

Diversity always was a matter of concern to Dark Suns. "Grave Human Genuine" for example, released to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the group, shows the band's more experimental side and flirts with electronic music, while "Orange" from 2011 not only goes back to Krautrock and Psychedelic, but also comes close to progressive Alternative Rock à la The Mars Volta. ... more

What a brilliant band. So heavy but also pure and enthralling. I only discovered them with their latest album "Ayam" and going back in time I discovered this other MASTERPIECE by them. Disillusion just becomes better and better with every listen. hatbanger_ollie
