Canada’s Serene Dark will be unleashing their new album “Enantiodromia” this coming Friday, July 17th.
“Enantiodromia” (pronounced en-an-ti-o-dromia) is dark, entrancing, and orchestral while maintaining the key elements of death and black metal. Overall, the album explores the confrontation between the shadow aspect of the personality and the integration of it into the self to create wholeness. Influenced by philosophy, stoicism, hermeticism, and the occult. The album, lyrically, is a journey towards individuation by the exploration of human darkness and transforming that pain into something tangible and meaningful. In essence- to lose one's self entirely to reach perfection.
Before the full length's official release, the band is streaming the album in full via BeheadingTheTraitor's YouTube channel HERE.
The band adds:
“This album will be received as a new but familiar sound for any previous fans of our last band (Endemise)… We want our fans to get lost in the music. We want to pique some interest in fans of this style of music… We have written a lot of songs and chosen our top ten favourites.”
Under the name Endemise, the band released Far From The Light (2013) and Anathema (2016), but now with the new name, Serene Dark has made a refreshing start with elements of the previous band still lingering, but taking the songs and style to a new level on this record and experimented with various instruments and vocal styles. This album sets a new caliber and standard for Serene Dark.

BIOGRAPHY/LOGO

Like a blackened metallic phoenix rising from the ashes of their previous band Endemise; Serene Dark intends to take their music to new heights. The very name Serene Dark is a powerful statement of intent; in the words of guitarist Dale Sauve “our music can be soothing and melodic at times, and dark and heavy at other times, so Serene Dark was a perfect fit.”
Morphing from Endemise to Serene Dark was a natural progression. “We have been making music with our current line-up for the past decade and decided a new name and fresh start was in order. Our former band Endemise formed over 15 years ago and it went through so many line-up changes and musical directions, we decided to put that band to rest and create Serene Dark as a fresh start.”
