Two more songs, Colt 44 and DOS Kapital, have been added to Dark Company‘s Benign Inquisition page. These two recently upgraded mixes share a dark, evocative feel.

Both Colt 44 and DOS Kapital are fully upgraded to alpha status, meaning they are beginning to sound something like the way they will be when finished, even though they are still in the early stages of finalisation. All of the strings and some of the vocals need to be recorded properly as the tracks you can hear are merely guides to hang the synths and drums upon. Much of the synth and drum parts will need to be finely adjusted, edited, mixed and mastered properly before these songs are finished and release-ready.

If you would like to listen to Colt 44 or DOS Kapital, or indeed the whole Benign Inquisition album by Dark Company as it stands at the moment, you can do so by clicking here.

If you would like to hear an early demo version of Colt 44 recorded during the last days of DC3 in the spring of 2000, there is one to listen to on Dark Company‘s Demos page, which you can reach by clicking here.

More Benign Inquisition upgrades will be following on soon.

Pok has announced two new events at which he will be performing live.

First come the Gnomic Gladiatorial Games. These take place at the Green Gathering next to Chepstow Racecourse, behind the Speakers’ Forum. The games start on Saturday 2nd August and continue until Sunday 3rd August. Anyone can come along and join in the fun, so if you are in the area please stop by and take part.

The second event will take place at The Beehive, Dowell Street, Honiton, EX14 1LZ. The show begins at 8pm. It will be “a soiree of Bardic ballade, conveyed upon instruments various with voice muse-honeyed to invoke myth, mystery and history of this realm and beyond.” Tickets are £5 and can be purchased from the box office (01404 384050).

The alpha mixes of Damaged and Care in the Community have been uploaded to Dark Company‘s Benign Inquisition album page. Damaged is track #3 and Care in the Community is track #5.

There is still a lot of work to be done by Dark Company to complete these tracks in terms of performance and production. The bass and guitar were recorded just as guide tracks and are rather shoddy and the drums are not right yet. These mixes give a mere impression of the how the songs will be and they can be considered as being in the early stages of finalisation.

If you would like to listen to these two newly uploaded songs, simply click here and press the ‘play’ button in the Flamplayer when the new Benign Inquisition tab opens.

Bright Monsters and Heavy Touch have been upgraded and added to the Benign Inquisition album by Dark Company, replacing the previous versions. These are only alpha mixes so need much work doing in terms of the guitars to be recorded properly using amplifiers, the drums to be fixed, mixing tweaks and mastering.

All of the old versions of songs on the Benign Inquisition album have been removed and new versions will be added in the coming days.

Bright Monsters is the opener to the album and is a darkly humourous heavy rock song with a killer chorus to incite mighty moshing.

Heavy Touch is track two and keeps up the rocking tempo with its feedback guitar (that, somewhat comically, wouldn’t feed back properly through the studio monitors) and its singalong earworm chorus.

To listen to these two splendid songs right now, simply click here and press ‘play’ on the Flamplayer in the new tab that opens. Enjoy!

If you would like to hear the original demo versions of Bright Monsters and Heavy Touch, they are on Dark Company’s Demos page, which will open if you click here.
