Greek symphonic extreme metallers, W.E.B., will unveil Darkness Alive, their first ever live album, on February 20 via Metal Blade Records.
Captured in the quartet’s hometown of Athens on September 22, 2024, Darkness Alive truly displays the band at the top of their game. Standout tracks include “Into Hell Fire We Burn,” which vocalist/guitarist Sakis Prekas describes as a, “thunderous marriage of black and heavy metal with a chorus that literally orders you to sing along,” “Dark Web,” an intense melodic death and modern metal onslaught, and today’s single, “Dragona” from the band’s critically lauded 2017 Tartarus, full-length.
“Dragona” serves as a blasting black metal masterwork with an epic finale that will forever be a staple in W.E.B.’s live set. Lyrically, the track praises an ancient God with a funeral exodus and is considered by fans and critics alike among W.E.B.’s most revered tracks.
