Northwestern (USA) ragers DARKBLACK have just put the final touches on their bruising new collection of traditional metal, in the form of the Midnight Wraith EP!

Following 2009’s blazing Sellsword full-length, and constructed by the band’s revamped band lineup since that recording, DARKBLACK prove they’re at their finest hour yet on the freshly completed Midnight Wraith. Composed of five unrelenting heavy metal anthems realized in the murky gloom of the band’s hometown of Portland, Oregon and recorded at Revolver Studios by Nalin Silva, the Midnight Wraith tells tales of death, betrayal, unholy spirits and fantastic battles. Check out the opening track “Doom Herald” at DARKBLACK’s Myspace page now!

Midnight Wraith EP Track Listing:

1. Doom Herald
2. Power Monger
3. Golden Idol
4. Midnight Wraith
5. Broken Oath

Midnight Wraith will be released on December 1st, 2010 via San Jose, California-based Stormspell Records, who also handled the Sellsword album. Check out the record’s ominous cover artwork by illustrator Richard Smith at this location.

In celebration of the EP’s release, DARKBLACK will kick off a triumphant eight-show West Coast tour on the exact day Midnight Wraith will be available to the public. With shows confirmed in Washington, Oregon and California, they’ll be rocking alongside killer acts like Christian Mistress, Walken, Huntress, Gypsyhawk and more throughout the brief but brutal trek, including a FREE hometown record release show on December 3rd.
