British melodic hardcore band DARKO, consisting of Tom West (Vocals), Rob Piper (guitar), Chris Brown (guitar), Karl Sursham (bass) and Andy Borg (drums), returned with a new song “The Ladder” on March 15, 2022.
It is their first music in five years since the 2017 debut album “Bonsai Mammoth”.
Also, the track offers a first listen to the band with new vocalist Tom West, who is better known as British melodic hardcore act Almeida's frontman.
In addition, Manchester-based Follow Your Dreams' Katz Hinsley joined in the song as guest vocals.
The track was produced by Will Duff at Goliath Sound Studios. The accompanying music video was directed by Benny P.
The song will appear on their upcoming EP “SPARKLE”, which is expected to be released this summer via Lockjaw Records (EU) and Thousand Island Records (NA).- DARKO shared on social media, “After 5 years DARKO have new music for your ears. The new tracks have been in the making since BONSAI MAMMOTH and as most of you know we are fronted by a new vocalist since 2021, our old bud Tom West previously of Almeida. This has given it a new edge and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.”
The band continued, “Our first offering comes in form of The Ladder and its an EPIC one, there will be some classic Darko you recognise mixed with some new twists and turns. The music was recorded and produced by Will Duff at Goliath Sound Studios its been amazing having Will (ex.Trails) on board as he's been a great team member to help develop the tracks. Massive, massive thanks to Katz Hinsley of Follow Your Dreams for the awesome guest vocals.” - source : Apple Music
