About
Dark Roots started back in the year 2012, when Christian Larsson had grown tired of writing metal music. He began to immerse himself more in blues and discovered that it was both more fun and creative, but above all it was more challenging to combine the two genres into one sound. While his voice still remained partially in the metal world, the music certainly had taken on a new, much darker tone.
During the summer of 2014, Christian moved from the southern part of Sweden, and settled in the northern part instead, in the city Umeå. In the course of two years, he had written a bunch of new songs that finally started to fit well together. All he needed now was a creative counterpart. He spoke with his friend Christoffer Lindmark who began to produce the music, but also write a lot of it. Together, they became Dark Roots, a band with a unique sound that touches on metal, rock and country – but still with a firmly rooted identity in the dark soil of blues, both musically and lyrically.
