W.E.B. - Dragona (Live @ Gagarin 205)

Buy here: http://www.metalblade.com/web W.E.B.’s music has earned high praise for its “drama, extremity and bloodthirst in equal parts… energetic and unhinged.” The formidable symphonic extreme metal lineup is best experienced at one of their many crushing live gigs. Enter Darkness Alive, their first-ever live album, recorded in the quartet’s hometown of Athens on September 22nd, 2024. “We shared the stage that night with Dark Funeral, and since we were making changes within the band, that had us excited. We made the decision to mark this day with a special release, hence our first official live album,"says vocalist/guitarist Sakis Prekas. Choosing the nine songs for Darkness Alive was simple. “We can tell almost immediately which songs work for a concert and we always keep the audience in mind,” Prekas explains. “We want the people who come to see W.E.B. perform to have a good time, to get our message, to grasp them and make a damn memorable metal show, as it should be.” Darkness Alive truly captures the band at the top of their game. Standout tracks include “Dragona,” blasting black metal with an epic finale that forever will be a staple in W.E.B.’s live setlist, “Into Hell Fire We Burn,” which Prekas describes as a, “thunderous marriage of black and heavy metal with a chorus that literally orders you to sing along,” and today’s single, “Dark Web,” an intense melodic death and modern metal onslaught off their 2021 Colosseum LP. “Dark Web” spits out the way people with power and money treat others: in the most brutal manner. Darkness Alive Track Listing: 1. Crimson Dawn (Live) 2. Pentalpha (Live) 3. Dark Web (Live) 4. Into Hell Fire We Burn (Live) 5. Murder Of Crows (Live) 6. Necrology (Live) 7.

Eligos (Live) W.E.B. is currently composing material for their next full-length album that will see them hitting the road once again. “It is by far the best material we;ve ever had on a record. I intend to keep the promise to myself regarding W.E.B. that all new material must be better material, otherwise there is no reason to release it,” Prekas concludes. “Stay Dark.” W.E.B.: Sakis Prekas – vocals, guitar Hel Pyre – vocals, bass, keys Alex Despotidis – guitar Babis Kapageridis – bass Vasilis Nanos – drums https://webmetalband.com https://www.facebook.com/webdarkness https://www.instagram.com/webdarkmetal https://www.youtube.com/@WEBbandOfficial https://x.com/webdarkmetal https://www.metalblade.com https://www.facebook.com/metalbladerecords https://www.instagram.com/metalbladerecords https://x.com/MetalBlade https://www.metalblade.com/museum
