DYNASTY OF DARKNESS (formerly known as DEATH OF DESIRE), a brand new symphonic extreme metal band featuring members of MAYHEM, DIMMU BORGIR, ARCTURUS, THE KOVENANT, and EYES OF NOCTUM have released an album sampler from their upcoming opus Empire Of Pain.

The band was born in Bruchsal, Germany in 2008. First recordings and video footage were recorded in an abandoned military complex from the Second World War which used to be the Bundesnachrichtendienst Zentrale or the Secret Service for the Nazis, the compositions were created behind machine gun dented bulletproof doors and rusted barbwire cells creating an unmatchable atmosphere of obscure, cold and eerie material which was used for their first demos.

The album was recorded throughout Europe and America for the last years and has a full-length album that consists of 45 minutes of music with full production standards and quality ready to be released worldwide. The band has the double Grammy award winner mastermind Amund Svensson working on all our orchestrations and the double Grammy and golden record winner Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg (Mayhem, Dimmu Borgir, The Kovenant) working on all the drums on the album. The album was produced by Morbid and Steve Tucker (ex-MORBID ANGEL), and they worked at the studio with him for over 400 hours, and this is a major big metal production under his belt. As guest singers the band has Weston Coppola and the legendary Attila Csihar (Mayhem).

Dynasty Of Darkness is currently looking for a record deal and the album is ready to be shopped, it has been mixed and mastered under professional quality standards.
