Take old school My Dying Bride and add more melody and more brilliance and you have this epic track. This could have fit somewhere on Turn Loose The Swans. There was no other choice to open the album with, this is Long Since Dark!

Artist picture
A doomy, emotional, dark, and melodic metal band.
Long Since Dark is a band of many faces. This band was created to combine the elements of Doom and Gothic metal with those of more popular metal bands of the time. The purpose of Long Since Dark is to blend underground elements in with the mainstream to create something emotional and real. Melody is the key and emotion is the driving force of this band. Long Since Dark choose to go beyond the traditional doom metal sound and add elements of many other forms of music to create something original and inspiring. The purpose of the band is to create emotion and to tell stories using music as well as words. Our intention is to not only make you enjoy the song but to take you within the song as if you were there. We are not afraid to try and recreate the genre that was set in stone years ago by the likes of My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost and bring back the original feelings that made it so great. We aspire to create masterpieces that will live up to albums like "Turn Loose The Swans" and "Icon". That is what sets us apart from many is the fact that we are not afraid to write as we please and to create the music we want. We have no restrictions and no guidelines. Our influences are many and you will hear them all. We feel variety is what keeps listeners interested.

Story behind the song
This song is about pain, fear, and memories. Things we do wrong but never seem to make right. These shadows are remnants of the past that haunt us forever. This song is about how the darkness can consume you.
