With music based on intense riffing and focused song structures, whilst reviving the “shred” component of much of the 80's thrash movement, Australian Thrash/Melodic Death/Power Metal band Enlightened by Darkness (EBD) create a fast, melodic and unique blend of TRUE METAL. This coupled with deep and deliberate lyrics and a vocal approach varying from tortured screams to soaring power metal vocal styles, has EBD aiming their sights towards forging a sound different to the norm, yet with an appeal that spans a multitude of genres.

Drawing from a diverse range of influences such as Nevermore, Dissection, Carcass, Slayer, Pantera, Judas Priest, At the Gates, and Iron Maiden; EBD are creating a brand of music that pays homage to their metal peers whilst breathing a new life into it and creating something new.

The years 2005 and 2006 saw EBD release their debut Demo and sell out the ENTIRE first pressing around the state of Queensland (Australia). 2007 will prove to be a big year for Enlightened By Darkness with the release of their highly anticipated release “Buried Beneath” and scheduled appearances in many major cities and at some of the country's leading festivals as well as embarking on several self-funded tours to promote their release.
