Signs of Darkness stands for: MELODIC BLACK METAL and this since 1994. The lyrical concept is a rebellion against the human way of living these days.
In early 1995 a demo was recorded "IN MORPHEUS ARMS" and contained 5 black metal tracks. It was the first assault against the flock and the followers of weakness. The demo "ODES TO OUR BRUMAL KINGDOM" was recorded in 1996. The keyboard parts and some guest screams were performed by 2 members of the band Infernal Beauty (RIP).
In 1998 3 songs were recorded: "The last shivering moon ... beyond the autumn leaves", "Stars in the nocturnal sky are like a thousand screams in the ruined rosegarden" and "Embraced by dreams". This 3-track tape was called "Solemn Tears". With these tape SIGNS OF DARKNESS cought the attention of a new Belgian record-label THE LSP-COMPANY and recorded their first full length album entiteld "BEYOND THE AUTUMN LEAVES".
With this album they ended the storyline of a great warrior who fought for respect, honour and pride. These albums where the foundation of a lyrical concept that still can be found in the songs up until now: rebellion against the human way of living these days!
In 2005 they signed a deal with TRINITY RECORDS HK (TRHK) and the second full length album "THE 17th FLOOR" was released worldwide. In 2007 the cooperation with TRHK ended.
In November 2007 a new album was recorded entitled "THE FALL OF AMEN". In april 2009 the search for a new label ended and a cooperation with Shiver records was signed. "THE FALL OF AMEN" was officialy released on the 10th of October 2009.
Soon after this release W. and R. leave the band. W. is replaced by JS (Natan/Nidhogg Ivaldir). T. is replaced by O. (Celebrant/Nidhogg Ivaldir).
A new EP entitled "APOSTATE" was recorded in July 2011 and released in August 2011.
We shared the stage with following bands: Natan, Saille, Aeternus, Cirrith Gorgor, Occult, Kathaarsys, Onheil, Melechesh ...

Unity And Humidity
Signs Of Darkness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch out for the crimson glory, your number at the back of my hand
Critically we swim away as we laugh the tears away
The ambient air filled with particles of illusions
Your black-brow eyes, not knowing the past-"Do not take this elevator"
Seven songs unsung, hear all the radioshows craving for your voice
Marked in grey essence, the evidence is fading
Overtures in red dresses, the soprano pointing at the undressed lady
She knows, definitely she knows
Vascular malformations-possession of the devil inside the ebony cage
This is the moment to use the gel
Get inside from behind
From behind, get inside
The lyrics of Signs of Darkness's song "Unity and Humidity" describe a surreal and dreamlike experience. The singer seems to be leaving behind a message for someone, writing "I'll see you on the other side" on a piece of paper. There is a sense of urgency in their words, with the warning to "watch out for the crimson glory" and the mention of a number on the back of their hand. The second verse speaks to the complexities of human emotion, with the mention of laughter and tears, and the presence of "particles of illusions" in the air.
The third verse takes on a more ominous tone, with references to a devil and "vascular malformations". The line "get inside from behind" feels both threatening and unsettling. The final stanza talks of "overtures in red dresses" and a "soprano pointing at the undressed lady", adding to the disorienting imagery of the song. Overall, the lyrics of "Unity and Humidity" create a mysterious and intriguing atmosphere, leaving listeners to decipher their meaning for themselves.
Line by Line Meaning
I write it on a piece of paper; 'I'll see you on the other side'
I leave a message for you that we will meet again beyond this life
Watch out for the crimson glory, your number at the back of my hand
Beware of danger and know that I am ready to protect you with my life
Critically we swim away as we laugh the tears away
We escape danger with a sense of urgency, relying on humor to cope with our emotions
The ambient air filled with particles of illusions
Our surroundings are distorted with deceptive elements
Your black-brow eyes, not knowing the past- 'Do not take this elevator'
Though ignorant of the history of this place, you sense danger and take precautions
Seven songs unsung, hear all the radioshows craving for your voice
You have untapped potential that many seek to discover and showcase
Marked in grey essence, the evidence is fading
The proof of something that once existed is disappearing
Overtures in red dresses, the soprano pointing at the undressed lady
There are contrived performances and intentional manipulation of a vulnerable woman
She knows, definitely she knows
The woman is fully aware of the situation and its implications
Vascular malformations-possession of the devil inside the ebony cage
There is a medical condition and possibly demonic possession at play
This is the moment to use the gel
Now is the time to take action and use the necessary solution
From behind, get inside
Take an unexpected approach and infiltrate from the rear
