Band information
Darker Half is a band from Sydney playing thrash metal with a dominant technical aspect. The band formed around Simpson, Max Griffiths (vocals, bass), Alderton (guitar) and Jim on drums. They quickly began playing live despite being all too young to appear in licensed venues and featured at the first Metalstock festival at Easter 2005. Hamilton and Martino joined the band toward the end of 2005 and the group recorded a four-track CD while continuing to make their presence felt on the live circuit on the east coast throughout 2006. In 2008 the band was announced as the opening act on a tour by UFO, but the tour was cancelled before tickets even went on sale. Meanwhile, the band completed their full-length album. This was released in early 2009 and is being supported by a national tour that features gigs with bands like The Eternal and Universum.
