After spending most of 2023 working on their side-project ENDEMIC – whose debut The Church Of Destruction was unleashed upon mankind via Awakening Records in January 2024 – Pako Deimler and his two faithful companion drummer Naemoth (DANTALION) and bass player Xas (ILTUR) are back as DEIMLER with another ambitious sci-fi tinged death metal masterpiece, Darkness Falls.
Four years ago, the guitarist and vocalist had chosen to take the listeners back to space where no one could hear you scream with Immortalized, a concept album based on Ridley Scott highly influential Alien : The 8th Passenger movie from 1979. This time around, Pako has decided to pay tribute to one of the 90's most revered series and personal favorite of his, The X-Files. “I really like to explore science-fiction with my writing. To me, reality always surpasses fiction, this is why I love that genre so much. The X-Files series greatly influenced me at a certain point in my life so I've always wanted to bring it into the DEIMLER world.” Actually, if you pay attention close enough, you'll even be able to spot few notes stolen from the show famous theme in the song, ‘Darkness Falls'…
As the cover artwork, once again handled by José Antonio Vives who's been working with them ever since debut their EP Zero One in 2020, the album is actually entirely based on one specific episode and fans' favorites. Curled from the first season, it was titled, you've guessed it, Darkness Falls. A stand-alone story not exactly tied up with the whole X-Files mythology, which was still in the making by then, with agents Mulder and Scully looking for a group of loggers missing in Olympic National Forest in Washington State, only to be confronted by a deadly form of mutant insects. Pako admits he loves that episode in particular because of its “atmosphere” but also because it's “one of the few episodes where the main characters have a hard time and are truly in great danger.”
Musically speaking, the music could once again be described as old-school death metal pushed to the limit, a return to a different and unexpected world ruled by Pako impressively guttural growl and spider-web riffing, although the man himself easily cites in term of influences as much new acts like PHOBOPHILIC, TOMB MOLD or BLOOD INCANTATION than old masters like DEATH or DEMILICH, while saluting the guitar wizardry of Marty Friedman (MEGADETH), Stevie Ray Vaughan, Andy LaRocque (KING DIAMOND) or jazz six-strings master Greg Howe.
