Serene Dark

**Serene Dark** is a Canadian melodic black/death metal band that emerged from Ottawa after rebranding from their previous name, Endemise, in 2016. Known for blending blistering riffs, atmospheric keyboards, and guttural vocals, they carve out a niche with their intense yet melodic soundscapes. Their 2020 album *Enantiodromia* showcases their signature mix of aggression and introspection, exploring themes of duality and existential philosophy. Recent releases like the remastered *Far from the Light* and the punchy *Serene Dark - EP* highlight their evolution, while *Anathema* leans into haunting atmospheres and lyrical depth. The band’s work often dwells in dark, cosmic themes, appealing to fans of acts like Behemoth or Dimmu Borgir, but with a distinct melodic edge.
