New York, NY (Top40 Charts) By definition, "horcrux" is rare dark magic, in which one takes a bit of their soul and hides it in an object to obtain immortality. Ottawa metal band does just that by creating meaningful music with their debut EP, "The Dark Mark," that will forever live on as the extraordinary beginning of Horcrux's story.
Featuring members of A Skylit Drive, Of Reverie and Here Comes Big Foot, Horcrux is ready to make a name for themselves by combining different musical elements intertwined into the traditional metalcore to create something that leaves listeners wanting more.
Taking a personal approach to the lyrics, Labelle used real-life experiences as inspiration when writing. Labelle shared, "These songs share so many memories and stories of a difficult time in my life over the past couple of years." Labelle's brutal vocals blend impeccably with the intensely technical guitar playing of Scott Norris and
Danny Boisvenu while Bassist Ryan Shields and Drummer Zach Bray provide the back bone of the band.
Ready to showcase their talents, "The Dark Mark" is the perfect introduction to what the future holds for Horcrux. Staying true to themselves while not being afraid to transcend genres, this band will keep you on your toes with every note.
"The Dark Mark" will be out on February 16th and pre orders of the record are available on Bandcamp and exclusive new merch at Big Cartel.
