The Seed of All Evil is the third full-length album from the German symphonic melodic death/black metal band Path of Destiny.

Welcome to the land of dreams where the forces of the underworld evoke a sinister future and where the boundaries between reality and mythology are about to burst.

While other bands put out albums in mass-production, melodic death metal outfit Path Of Destiny take their time to write new music. After their debut “Rise & Fall” in 2010, they worked out their complex concept album “Dreams In Splendid Black” with all its details and took only a short break to release their EP “Parasite God”.

To make sure that the album’s sound fit the clear vision of the five Germans, the recordings took place at FF-Music-Studio (Piesau, Germany) and Unholy Studio (Jena, Germany) at the same time while the mixing and mastering was done by Jaroslav Celujko in his studio Jarosound in Stockholm (Sweden). The result is a crystal-clear album-sound that does justice to the band’s versatile influences and is made round by the multisided artwork of Robert Büschel (Universe Design).

„Dreams In Splendid Black“ distinguishes itself through its two different kinds of narration. While the first part tells stories about dark powers and demons, the second part deals with an alchemist that seeks for eternity between life and death. Are you ready for this trip?
