Dark Anthems Praised by the Artists Who Inspired Us
Since its release, Dark Anthems has been climbing the charts and finding its way into the hearts of listeners around the world — including some incredible musicians who’ve inspired us along the way.
Here’s what some of our heroes have said about the track:
🎙️ Nat Gray (Boysetsfire, The Iron Roses)
“I love the creativity – really impressed! Absolutely epic tune!”
We’re deeply moved to receive this from Nat — especially as Boysetsfire’s The Misery Index: Notes from the Plague Years is directly referenced in Dark Anthems. Thank you, @natashanat72 — your support means the world.
🎙️ Iain Baker (Jesus Jones)
“Yes, there’s a direct reference to ‘Idiot Stare,’ but the very DNA of ‘Dark Anthems’ has the same intensity. So cool!”
@jesusjonesband’s Iain Baker picked up on the homage buried right in the first verse.
Did you catch it too? Give the track another spin and see if you can spot it.
🎙️ CJ (The Wildhearts)
“Beautifully put together, with a chorus dressed in the finest melody. I really like this.”
Massive thanks to @cjwildheart — knowing you heard the influence we actually name-check in the lyrics makes your feedback hit even harder.
🎙️ Chris Aiken (Strung Out)
Ben has been a Strung Out fan since age 18, and few bands match their dark, melodic brilliance.
“Strung Out and I’m Too Close to See…”
Not only are they mentioned by name in the lyrics, but we also reference one of their tracks. Huge thanks to @chrisaikenmusic for the kind words and for decades of inspiration.
🔥 Dark Anthems is currently sitting at #4 in the German Alternative Charts — thank you for every stream, spin, and share.

‘Dark Anthems’ – New Single Out Now
Our brand new single “Dark Anthems” is out now — a track that dives deeper into what we do best: cinematic darkness, emotional weight, and heavy beauty.
This is a song for the outsiders, the dreamers, the fighters — and for everyone who finds strength in the shadows.
“Dark Anthems is about embracing your demons instead of running from them. It’s about pain becoming purpose, and darkness becoming power.”
— Ben Christo
