A Light in the Dark is a depressive black metal / post black metal music project founded in 2012 by the Russian metal musician Bogdan "BM" Makarow from Podolsk .
history
The Russian metal musician Bogdan "BM" Makarow started the music project in 2012. Makarov is known for his numerous music projects, including Skyforest , Blurry Lights and Hiki .
In the first two years BM produced two EPs and studio albums for this project, all of which were financed out of pocket and published by themselves. In 2015, A Light in the Dark released a self-titled compilation on a digital level that includes pieces from previous releases. The album Vanished was released digitally through the Ukrainian label Spirits of the Air Records in 2016 , a CD release was made possible by Depressive Illusions Records , a small label also from Ukraine.
The following year, a split was released with four other music projects. This was also brought onto the market as an in-house production. In the same year, the album A Long Way Home was released via Nekkomix , with a vinyl edition limited to 100 copies being available via Viridian Flame Records . The Chinese underground label Pest Productions released Colors of the Mind, a split CD with contributions from Marunata , Dreamshift , Ghâsh and A Light in the Dark. In 2020 BM announced it had signed a contract with Flowing Downward, a subsidiary of the Italian independent record company Avantgarde Music . The album Insomnia is released through this label .
music
A Light in the Dark is a Depressive / Post-Black-Metal -Project, which is musically close to Skyforest . There are also influences from shoegazing . On the first publications, electronic elements dominated, which Vanish completely cut back. There BM only played electric guitar and electric bass. A drum computer was used for the drums .
Although the music project can be assigned to Depressive Black Metal, the music does not arouse a depressing melancholy mood.
