Darsombra is a trans-apocalyptic galaxy rock duo from Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Known internationally for walking the line between glam-prog-psych-stoner metal and site-specific installation performance art, their hallucinogenic live shows are often met with the following responses: “I didn’t know what to expect, but that was awesome”, “I’ve never seen anything like that before”, and “it was like tripping on acid, without the acid.”

The band has a committed DIY cottage industry ethic, self-producing their music and videos and booking their own tours globally. They bring a stadium show in a cargo van or a handful of suitcases, and have performed in 48 states and 23 countries worldwide since their inception in 2005.

Bruce Lamont wears many hats, he has been a member of the long running experi-metal band Yakuza, also a member of Bloodiest, Brain Tentacles Corrections House, Circle of Animals and dozens of other projects, large and small, collaborating with an ever-growing network of like minds.

William Covert has been immersed in Chicago’s experimental music scene for over 15+ years, playing drums in math rock, post-rock, and post-hardcore punk bands such as Space Blood, Droughts, The Eradicator, Rust Ring, Wet Tropics, and Tum. Heavily influenced by the innovative and forward-thinking experimental rock and jazz underground communities rooted in Chicago since the 80’s, Covert started experimenting with combining live-looped synths with acoustic and electronic drums resulting in a solo project venture of the past several years. Inspired by the raw energy and dazzling technicality of bands like Don Caballero, Zombi, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra as well as the cinematic compositional prowess of John Carpenter and John Zorn, Covert began recording and performing full-band post-rock synth and drums pieces as an experimental solo artist.

With the release of Covert’s 3rd solo album, Dream Vessel, released on October 17th, he has taken the music in a more avant-garde rock direction with the addition of Jack McKevitt on guitar, and Nathan Schenck on bass along with Covert on drums for half of the tracks on the album as an expanded William Covert Trio. The tracks on Dream Vessel featuring the trio lean heavily into improvised minimalist noise-jazz incorporating elements of slowcore, noise rock, and free jazz.
