Darkside Journey is the solo project of 22 year old guitarist/songwriter Scott Okarma, and plays heavy atmospheric instrumental music. Based out of Champaign, IL and Milwaukee, WI, Okarma created the band while living in the dorms at the University of Illinois, refining its sound throughout his tenure at the University. Okarma developed his professional work ethic while playing with various bands during his teens, including a season of touring in Veil of Maya that established his anytime, anyplace touring mentality. He used this do-it-yourself work ethic to write, record, and produce all of the uncompromising music featured on the debut, self-produced C.D. “Pervasive Solitary”: a 22-minute guitar-driven opus which was released April 5th and is available for free download at the artist’s official website.
Darkside Journey’s style combines 6, 7, and 8-string guitars to create a sound that blends instant accessibility with experimentation, convention with progression, and classic influences with a forward-thinking mentality.
Having self-released the debut C.D. and cultivating a diverse a grassroots fan-base Darkside Journey is in a position continue creating wildly creative music that captivates fans of Okarma’s unique vision. « hide |
