Marcela, Ruben and Jord

—-

Hey there! My name is Marcela Bovio, singer, songwriter and vocal coach. You might know me from my solo work, or my work with bands like Stream of Passion, MaYaN, Ayreon and The Gentle Storm.

Dark Horse White Horse is a new symphonic/progressive metal project I’ve started together the amazing Jord Otto (ex-Revamp, ex-VUUR, My Propane) and Ruben Wijga (ex-Revamp, Blackbriar). The three of us have worked together in several bands and projects throughout the years, and recently saw the opportunity to join forces and combine our influences in some new tracks.

The result is hectic, heavy and progressive, but also very melodic and catchy. We’re extremely proud of how these songs came out!

The self-titled EP

Our self-titled debut EP contains five songs, mixed by producer extraordinaire Joost van den Broek and mastered by Jos Driessen at Sandlane Recording Facilities.

To record the demanding drum and bass parts of these tracks we’ve recruited two amazing musicians: drummer extraordinaire Ariën van Weesenbeek (Epica, MaYaN, ex-God Dethroned) and bass prodigy Siebe Sol Sijpkens (Phantom Elite, Destiny Potato, Sordid Pink). We asked quite a lot from both of them, and they DELIVERED. Ariën’s performance is as loud and inhumanly tight as can be, and Siebe’s bass sound and skilful performance compliment Jord’s technical riffs just perfectly!

What we need and what you get

The songs have already been recorded, and we’re incredibly happy with the results! Now we just need your help to press the album and give it as much exposure as possible. By contributing to this campaign you’ll be able to get the EP before it’s officially released, you’ll get the chance to get your hands on some exclusive goodies, and even have your name printed in the booklet of the album as a testimony of your contribution!

Other ways you can help

If you can’t contribute to the campaign you can still make a huge difference and help us make it a success! Here’s how:

• Share the campaign link on your social media channels, you’ll find a lot of links for that on the top of this page.
• Tell your friends about us, and ask them to spread the word too!

We thank you in advance for your help!
