The Australian melodic power metal band DARKER HALF has signed with Massacre Records, and will release its new album "If You Only Knew" in late March 2020!

Consisting of vocalist/guitarist Vo Simpson, guitarist Daniel Packovski, bassist Simon Hamilton and drummer Dom Simpson, DARKER HALF's sound is rooted in traditional metal drawing on only the heaviest, most face-melting forms of steel!

But wait there's more, DARKER HALF also revealed the front coverof their upcoming new masterpiece - check it out below!

It was designed by Karim König, and is based on the painting "StaÅ„czyk" by the Polish artist Jan Matejko.

"If You Only Knew" was mixed by Chris Themelco at the Monolith Studios, and mastered by Thomas "Plec" Johansson at The Panic Room Studio.

European fans of the band are in for a treat, because DARKER HALF will support Geoff Tate live on selected dates (available below) in April, along with Demonhead.

Further album details as well as the new digital single will be revealed soon.
