We´ll also hear a long time Dark Sarah guest JP Leppäluoto returning in the role of Dragon. Kasperi Heikkinen of Beast In Black will also contribute his talent on the album in a brilliant guitar solo. Attack Of Orym flourishes with its full magnitude, unfolding its potential with every second.
Dark Sarah’s 5th album “Attack Of Orym” will be released on January 27th. via Riena Productions/ Blood Blast Distribution.
New album, New story: After Mörk was killed: Malevolent – the evil orb – needed a new host. It cast a spell over Luna with the ancient sleeping thorns, Svefnthorns, and Luna fell into a sleep-like state. For years Darkness dwelled upon Grim. When word of the passing of the monster reached Orym, the king of the forest folk, he started his attack. Orym and his troops started to roam into the city – destroying everything on their way. Will Luna and the Grim citizens overcome the new enemy? You will find the answers to all this and more along with the new exciting Dark Sarah album. Join the epic battle! Choose your weapons!
The band already has released one single and video in advance for the track ‘Warning Sign’ which you can watch below:
‘Warning Sign’ is a powerful song with a message to fight back the ones who wish to harm you. In the album storyline the protagonist Luna chooses a powerful weapon of bewitched flowers to fight against Orym, the villain of the story.”.

Dark Sarah is formed by vocalist Heidi Parviainen. She began work on Dark Sarah’s debut album Behind the Black Veil after making the decision to leave her old band, Amberian Dawn, in 2012. Dark Sarah’s style can be described as melodic and cinematic metal. The albums are concept albums that tell a continuous story. The first three albums Behind The Black Veil, The Puzzle and The Golden Moth make up The Chronicles trilogy. A short book was also written to accompany each album to support the immersive experience.
Dark Sarah has now released four studio albums (Behind The Black Veil, The Puzzle, The Golden Moth, Grim) and each one has been crowdfunded on Indiegogo with full fan support. Dark Sarah will release their fifth studio album Attack Of Orym, also fully funded through Indiegogo, on January 27th, 2023.
