The Darkness Peering originally formed as ‘Penance’ in early 2002 in the small New York town of Manorville. They are a metal band with many genres influencing their musical style. With the help of an ambitious playlist of music from around the world, and spanning genres, they wrote their first rough copy of the (now defunct) song ‘Vengeance.’ Eventually, things became more serious, everything was fine tuned, and more songs were written. The Darkness Peering was chosen to reflect those very changes because it seems to describe the enigmatic nature of each of its members and their ambitions and outlooks on life itself. The famous Ouroboros was chosen for the symbol of the band mostly because it is interpreted to mean infinity. Infinite nature is a staple concept in our society and reality. Everything is an infinite cycle; life and death, love and heartbreak, hunger and thirst, the cycle will always continue.
