‘I used to look at the world with blue eyes. I used to love with an open heart, but I was naïve. The world needed to show that to me. I got angry for my weakness and angry with the world. In the darkest swirls of my mind I got stronger and meaner and started to change. I worked with my fear and I became Dark Sarah I´m not bitter; I´m just bitter sweet.’
The debut album called “Behind the Black Veil” leads you through the psychological adventure of Sarah, who is hovering between her two personalities. Sarah´s thoughts are at best depicted in the dialogues (duets) with the guests – ‘The Fate’: Manuela Kraller (ex Xandria), ‘The Queen of No Good’: Inga Scharf (Van Canto) and ‘The Moon’: Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica).
The album was funded through crowd funding on IndieGoGo in three parts – Three Episodes- and they all reached full funding. Dark Sarah has also released as many as four music videos for the “Behind The Black Veil” album and the fourth and latest video was filmed in wintery Finland in February for the duet ‘Light in You’ with Tony Kakko. It will be released in April 2015.
