Packing intense energy and fiery, potent vocals, ‘Light At The End Of The Tunnel’ showcases Irian Darkwood’s limitless charisma and energy, all wrapped into a sharp and striking heavy metal livery, the perfect match for Darkwood’s evocative, fierce vocals. Hailing from Halifax, Canada, the talented songwriter and artist boasts a long experience in the music industry, previously benefiting from success as a country vocalist. Last year, Irian debuted with her current project, focusing on heavier distortion and a nostalgic, yet familiar and wholesome metal outlook.
Striving to bring the genre back into mainstream territories, Darkwood packs ‘Light At The End Of The Tunnel’ with exactly what we’d expect from her: 80s-flavoured guitar solos, massive drums and inspiring, empowering vocals. While the record’s sonic component is euphoric and grand, the subject matter is rather deep and meaningful, delving into addiction and the challenges faced when trying to overcome it.
Speaking about the song and its important premise, the Canadian artist explains: “I wanted to make a song that sent a message that no matter what is going on in life, recovery is possible, that things can get better. My original target was people with addictions or people who were recovering from mental health issues.”
