“Life Force” moves with energy and aplomb, taking charge and forging the chaos.
“Breathe,” shimmers onto the grounds of time, tempting the land and brimming with confidence.
“One Foot In The Grave,” hits the hammer and brings the fury out on high.
“Quiet The Mind,” slathers through the temperature, brimming with intent and chaotic goodness.
“Tested The Water,” hits the hunger and brings the fury forward.
"Each song unfolds like a scene from a cinematic dream, blending symphonic arrangements, haunting melodies, and powerfully personal lyrics"
"Symphonic Metal band Darkyra mounted the open air stage one and proceeded to shake the rafters of the Universe.
Gina’s powerful vocals fronted a hardcore of some of Perth’s finest and hardest working musicians around town,
Their wall of sound slammed into the cosmos, bringing space and earth together in a musical creation of the finest pedigree.
"One of the best aspects of their sound is that Bafile doesn't depend upon, nor pigeon hole herself, into a certain style. She swings easily from the basic rock singer to the operatic diva."
NEW LYRIC VIDEO - LIFE FORCE
Darkyra initially began it's roots in 2012 as the solo project of Australian singer / songstress Gina Bafile, under the pseudonym 'Darkyra Black'. The project was in collaboration with European musicians, Garry King, Betovani Dinelli, Thiago Trinsi, Fab Jablonski and George Boussounis. The music had a strong cinematic vibe sometimes bordering on Progressive rock and Gothic Metal. After the successful release and rave reviews of two high production studio albums, Darkyra Black was thrown into the spotlight as a strong emerging artist within the world of female fronted metal and rock. As the demand for Live shows increased, Australian musicians were recruited for the very first performances in hometown Perth Western Australia, rebranding as 'Darkyra'.
Current collaborators are based throughout Europe, Brazil and Australia. They are, Garry King - drums/production (Jeff Beck, Joe Lynn Turner), Gus Mansor - Guitar, Fab Jablonski - Keyboard, Lucio Manca - Bass. Darkyra's Live Australian band consists of singer Gina Bafile (Anfitrite) and musicians, Dave Lyon - Guitar, Maaz Manik - Bass and Andrew Casella - Drums.
DARKYRA'S third solo album titled 'Life-Force' is expected for release May 2025.
