In the years since their formation, DYNAZTY have walked a path unlike other bands. With their Napalm Records debut, Dark Arts, coming March 5, 2027, the Swedish masters of melodies invite listeners on a journey of their own. Reaching far beyond what they have crafted before and evolving as musicians and songwriters as well as people, DYNAZTY explore the darkness of the human condition. Throughout twelve new songs, Dark Arts takes us by the hand and guides us into the deepest depth of our psyche – and safely back out again.

“Lay Down The Law” kicks off the first of two acts and starts the descent with a melody equally powerful and catchy. DYNAZTY are marching towards the abyss, and they’re doing it quickly, hammering in every note and elusively joyful keyboard line on their way. The title track is reached early: “Dark Arts” is, just like its lyrics say, “striking at the speed of the light” and especially charming with its nostalgic melodies. “Valkyrie” picks up on the earworm qualities of its predecessors with ease while also mirroring the steady path further into inner darkness through its instrumentals. Merely the heroic feeling assures listeners that Dark Arts will offer a way out. Following, “Red Herring” lures with prominent drum beats and instantly catchy singalong passages right from the start. Also featuring dizzyingly high vocals by frontman Nils Molin, its catchiness is not at all a red herring, but a herald of Dark Arts’ mesmerizing power. DYNAZTY slow down with “Call On Me” while losing none of their impact. From its gentle intro to soaring chorus, the song takes listeners “to the edge of the waterfall of the human soul”, the music a reassuring companion. Fully committing to an emotional waltz time, “The Unraveling” is just as encouraging as “Mirror of the Soul” right after, whose strong climaxing structure marks the start of the album’s second act, the ascent. “The Mission” serves heroic bombast, successfully designed to stay in your head for a long time. “Shadow of the Abyss” adds a rave vibe and dark riffs to DYNAZTY’s gripping new album, yet again molding it into a convincing track by pairing it with Molin’s equally dynamic voice. “Candlelight Mysteria” feels like a warm embrace in its fantastical storytelling, whereas “Broken Enigma” unfolds as a sweepingly infectious and fun track. Wrapping up the album is “Dark Matter”, which grows from a slow symphonic opening into grand storytelling. Everything falls into place as DYNAZTY connect the previous compositions into one all-encompassing epic.

With their tenth full-length, DYNAZTY have melodic metal and power metal shake hands in a suspenseful opus. Twelve songs, masterfully diverse and focused in their separate goals, unveil the darkest parts of the human soul and contrast them with a certain sense of hope in our humanity. Dark Arts expands the band’s mighty reach in two equally vast acts, showing DYNAZTY at the top of their game.
