Dark_Matter

roast

Hi all, finally a proper introduction. We'll keep future updates here.
We're Dark_Matter, an Instrumental Post-Metal band from Limerick, combining elements of Progressive, Ambient, Gothic and Atmospheric metal. F.F.O. God Is An Astronaut, Pelican and Anathema, to name but a few.

We re-released our debut E.P. a few months back entitled _adrift_2.0_, which you can download for free on our Bandcamp page below. We'll also give you a physical copy for free if you hassle us at gigs.

Over the last few years, we've been gigging relentlessly around the country, including playing support for A Pale Horse Named Death (USA) and Mythological Cold Towers (Brazil)
Currently, we're recording our first full-length in Lakeland Studios, Athlone, which will be released later this year. More details on that soon!

We also have a bunch of tee's available at gigs and also on our online merch store, linked below.

And of course, you can find us on the usual haunts, facebook etc.
