We kick off the New Year with some hard-hitting “dark'n'roll” music from Italy's My Darkest Red. Their latest album, Midnight Supremacy, takes listeners on a sonic journey through a variety of moods and genres. I had the chance to chat with Andrea Verginella, the band’s bassist, to dive into the creative process behind this powerful release. From heavy riffs to atmospheric moments, Midnight Supremacy blends aggression, introspection, and triumph. Andrea shares how the album reflects both personal struggles and strength, making it a must-listen for fans of dark, genre-defying rock music. Don't miss out on this dark yet empowering journey. Andrea Verginella, and My Darkest Red is Someone You Should Know.
