Darkness Incarnate

Originally formed in early 2007 under the name B.L.C. (short for Bloodthirsty Little Children ). B.L.C. recorded a 3-song demo and a 6-song EP that was an advance promo for their forthcoming self-titled album. However, very shortly after the "Pre-Release" Promo CD, Mike Ray recruited 2nd singer Matt Newman, and they changed names to Darkness Incarnate , also scrapping the artwork and title for their upcoming album. All the six songs from the B.L.C. "Pre-Release" CD, and 1 from the earlier "B.L.C." demo, were combined with 4 newer songs to create the Darkness Incarnate debut CD "Eternal Underworld Darkness". For this release Mike had professional CDs manufactured by the same internet-based company that he used to make No Way Out 's "Annihilation" album, Horns of Belial 's "Vita Per Diabolus" album, and others over the years. In 2008 Mike and Matt completed the recording of their 2nd album, "A Journey Through the Hellrotten and Frostbitten". Mike made a batch of advance copies on CD-r with handwritten covers and discs, but before the artwork and layout for the album could be completed Darkness Incarnate would split up. Many of the songs from this album where later released on the full-length Corpse King album "Hate is a Warzone", which was still only distributed on handwritten CD-r's, but with a much higher quantity of copies made of this album then of the original Darkness Incarnate "A Journey...." advance CD-r. The band has plans to reissue both albums through Infernal Trinity Records in 2021, with newly recreated, restored and expanded artwork for "Eternal Underworld Darkness" and with "A Journey..." getting completed artwork for the first time ever.
