Portable Darkness

Scene legend/guitar genius Toby Knapp (Onward, Waxen) unveils his latest diabolical creation: Where Evil Follows and their debut, "Portable Darkness". In contrast to Knapp's latest Waxen album, WeF returns the six-string sorcerer to his '80s speed metal roots. However, "Portable Darkness" is far more than some trendy "retro" retread, as Knapp and vocalist/bassist Dean Sternberg (Ashes of Ares, ex-Into Eternity) take these winding-yet-headbanging anthems down far darker and more potently evil paths, turbo-charged with no small amount of power metal. In many ways, the album is the sinister counterpart to Onward, Knapp's most celebrated band.
