Itâs been said, if you look hard enough you will find something worthwhile. âPure Evilâ by Darkstar is that rare find! Combining raw energy with lush textures Darkstar forges a new era in modern music. Hailing from the twin cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul references to Prince are common, but the only similarities they share are the fact they both write, arrange, produce and play their own music.

âPure Evilâ Darkstars 2nd release on Darkface Records begins innocently enough with âand in the beginningâ. An instrumental look into a tormented soul.

The next track âno no noâ is an interestingly quirky track with lush yet dark synth textures and enough hooks to fill a tackle box.

âi knew this girlâ is next, a song of lost love and deceit. Chock full of smooth piano and laced with guitar hooks.

The next selection âwe areâ is European pop at itâs finest. Audio imagery reminiscent of Gary Numan, Ultra Vox and Depeche Mode. It has dark guitar lying under a chilling piano.

âPure Evilâ now begins to change pace with âCanât Take Awayâ. Gritty guitars and a nasty funky bass help weave a story of one womanâs penchant for drama.

The music makes a u-turn with âthe boxâ; a rock track in the classic vibe. No keyboards here! Just straight driving hard rock!

With âGodless Jezebelâ you can really begin to see the diversity of Darkstarâs writing style. Dark, lush synth tracks interwoven with metal guitar and dark brooding piano make this an industrial metal classic.

âDo You Still Care?â is the radio friendly pop track. Raw guitars, raw vocals, raw emotion! Itâs all tied together with a piano hook that defies you to tap your feet. We at Darkface Records like to call this Slash nâ Dash.

That brings the listener to âDown and Dirtyâ. Do you like guitars? Well, theyâre here, and theyâre nasty. And as Darkstar says, âall of my life iâve been waiting for someone like you, someone who tastes and feels the same way i do.â

A story of mistaken identity is explored with âAnd then I met Youâ; more slash nâ dash. In the track âSay Goodbyeâ, Darkstar shows more of his guitar chops. Full of raucous guitar, pounding bass, and tantalizing hooks this will soon be one of your favorites.

And in the blink of an eye comes a track reminiscent of his first release on Darkface Records. âYour tasteâ begins with a hypnotic piano and bass duet, with chant of âyour taste, my tongueâ and the opening verse of âI want your taste on the tip of my tongue, some say that your loves too strong.â It makes a statement and leaves you wondering.

âAnti-Socialâ is an alternative track explaining that just because heâs not out in the clubs, heâs not anti-social.

âthe end of all thingsâ is just thatââ¬"a wrap of the CD with bits and pieces of every track from âPure Evilâ. So there you have it; a sometimes complex story woven into music for your ears.

âPure Evilâââ¬"Whatever your preference of music you will find something to grab at your soul and make you tap your feet.
