Darktribe

DarkTribe is a kickass power metal band hailing from Nantes, France, formed back in 2009 by a group of metal enthusiasts ready to crank out some high-energy tunes. Led by vocalist Anthony Agnello, with his brother Julien on drums, Loïc Manuello shredding on guitar, and Bruno Caprani holding down the bass, they've built a reputation for blending melodic hooks with symphonic elements and themes inspired by nature, history, and human struggles. Their debut album, Mysticeti Victoria, dropped in 2012 and set the stage with its epic, whale-themed vibes (yeah, mysticeti refers to baleen whales), quickly earning them fans in the European metal scene.

Over the years, DarkTribe has kept the momentum going with releases like The Modern Age in 2015, which amped up the modern production and catchy choruses, and Voici l'Homme in 2020, exploring deeper philosophical territory while staying true to their power metal roots. Tracks like "I Walk Alone," "Ghost Memories," and "From Star to Dust" showcase their knack for powerful riffs and soaring vocals. Though they've flown a bit under the radar compared to bigger names, their dedicated following appreciates their consistent output and live energy, making them a hidden gem for anyone into bands like Stratovarius or Sonata Arctica.
