Melodic Black/Death Metal band originally formed in Serbia, currently based out of Montreal, Canada.
The debut album by the black metal band Bane, is a testament to the genre’s atmospheric essence. Originally released in 2010, this album has garnered a dedicated following over the years. Musically, “Chaos, Darkness & Emptiness” is a masterclass in blending aggression with melody. The band expertly weaves intricate guitar work, pummeling drums, and evocative vocals to create an atmosphere that is both oppressive and enthralling. Each track contributes to an overarching narrative of despair and nihilism, themes that are quintessential to black metal. Bane’s debut offers a familiar yet fresh exploration of the dark and mystical. The band’s ability to channel the icy, melodic essence of their influences while infusing their own stylistic nuances has cemented “Chaos, Darkness & Emptiness” as a significant release in the black metal canon.
Chaos, Darkness & Emptiness' was originally released in 2010 as a standard jewel case CD via Grom Records (sold out), then as a limited edition Tape edition via SDP (sold out), and finally re-released in 2011 on Digi-CD via Abyss Records, containing a bonus track.
The album artwork was done by Marcelo Vasco (Slayer, Machine Head, Kreator, Soulfly, Hatebreed, Dark Funeral, Testament, Dimmu Borgir, Obituary, Borknagar, Mayhem, Vader, Belphegor, Enslaved, Ragnarok, Absu, Satyricon, etc).
