Started in 2017, UK-based Chasing the Dark is a self-generated music project by former Metropolis vocalist Chris Longman. Featuring Independent Alternative Progressive Rock with a Steamgoth twist results in music that is dark and different. With a steady stream of digital single releases on a two- to three-month basis, Chasing the Dark inspires music lovers who are looking for something beyond the norm. Atticus Oldman describes Chris Longman as “One of the definitive voices of the international Steampunk scene."
Upbeat alternative rock song about seduction and addiction. Dark themes juxtaposed with a fast joyful beat with full blaxploitation brass section underpinned by rock guitars and synths. Good fun but covering deep psychological themes. Male Vocals, Gothic, Gothcore
Brooding yet philosophically positive track about change, modern life and an acceptance to move forward. Lyrically deep and internalising with psychological and gothic themes. Arranged to offer musical colour throughout while following an alternative progressive musical thread. Male Vocals, Gothic, Gothcore
Thoughtful modern alternative rock track about closeness, love, physicality, completeness and a relationship that is slowly dying. Gothic in form with interesting building arrangement including pizzicato strings, piano, synth, and heavy rock guitar. Lyrically honest with dark themes. Male Vocals, Gothic, Gothcore
