Swedish melo-death quintet DARKANE have unveiled live footage from their recent European tour with Soilwork, which Metal-Discovery described as "aural epicness... a mesmerizing and riveting experience." You can watch along as the band performs the track "Ostracized" from their acclaimed 2013 release "The Sinister Supremacy" filmed by Philipp Koch & Oliver Laux (Drumtalk) at the Biblelot in Dordrecht, Netherlands below!
Says the band, "We recently completed a European tour with Soilwork that took us through Spain, Italy, France, Luxembourg, Holland and the UK. The tour went great and, with the two bands having previously toured together, everything went smoothly – apart from Soilwork's drummer Dirk Verbeuren getting injured and having to sit out a few shows. Luckily our drummer Peter (Wildoer) isn't one to back down from a challenge, so he took over the drum throne for Soilwork's remaining gigs. Closing in on the end of the tour, Dirk felt good enough to play again, so he played the final show of the tour in Dordrecht. Spirits were high, and to make it even better, Phillip from Drumtalk showed up and asked if we wanted him to film the show. Of course we did! And he did a really nice job. Darkane 100% live and raw. As it should be."

Featuring the return of vocalist Lawrence Mackrory (last heard on DARKANE's 1999's debut "Rusted Angel" ) and the first new music from the band in over five years, the vigorous "The Sinister Supremacy" expands the boundaries of extreme metal, showcasing a new, darker and heavier sound, while remaining true to DARKANE's roots in melodic death and technical thrash!
