‘Through the Misery’ is Diamond Black's 5th single: a bold yet brooding cry to confront our toxic relationship with social media, interrogating its dangerous impact on our mental health.

Dynamic, dramatic guitars entwine with ethereal electronica, compulsive bass and thunderous drums, whilst Christo and Hart’s impassioned voices urge us to empower ourselves and carve our own positive path. Hook-laden, haunting and surging with emotional energy, ‘Through the Misery’ is a rousing, cutting-edge rock anthem for today.

Through the Misery

In Venom (Feat. Chris Harms)

Intense, sensual and arcane, Diamond Black are a dark-rock quartet from Camden, London. Founded by Ben Christo (guitarist of The Sisters of Mercy). 

‘If You Kill My Demons’ is Diamond Black's sophomore release with Cargo records, blasting back with an incisive and urgent incantation. Razor riffs wrestle with ethereal electronica and blistering beats, as JI’s intoxicating voice recounts a high-speed tale of desire, decadence and despair. At just over 3 minutes, this savage slice of hook-laden rock never relents, leaving you breathless in its wake.

If You Kill My Demons (Clip)

Intense, sensual and arcane, Diamond Black are a dark-rock quartet from London, England. Founded by Ben Christo (guitarist of The Sisters of Mercy) and Finnish singer J.I. Turunen, Diamond Black bring you crushing riffs, mesmerizing electronica and cinematic choruses, fuelled by a rich cocktail of irreverence, intrigue and glamour.

Inspired by the heaviness of Katatonia, the passion of Depeche Mode, the haunting soundscapes of Type O Negative and the soaring melody of The Cult, Diamond Black weave tangled tales of desire, decadence and devotion.

Turunen’s powerful vocal has shades of sombre Jim Morrison, venomous Blackie Lawless and piercing Robert Plant, all delivered with distinctly Scandinavian melancholy, whilst Christo’s unforgiving riffs and emotive lead-lines provide a dramatic backdrop. Add a thunderous, dynamic rhythm section, courtesy of premier UK rockers Moyano de Diego and Adam Harris and encase it all in the unique, cutting-edge production of Finnish visionary Jaani Peuhu (The Rasmus, Swallow the Sun), and you’ve got the explosive and evocative sound of Diamond Black.    

With debut EP Ghost in the Glass scheduled for release autumn 2015 and full album to follow early 2016, the band is primed and ready to strike on a global scale. Prepare to be electrified and enchanted by Diamond Black. 

"Powerfully dark atmospheres, riffs straight from the old school of rock, and songs with choruses that burrow into your brain, never to re-emerge." Joel McIver, Metal Hammer
