This song will let you choose how it makes you feel. ANGEL OF MERCY is a song to center yourself, chill out or just a good song to get depressed to.

Short and sweet, but with some really cool flangering effect. It always adds "strange" or "spacey" atmosphere! Written and performed by Darkest Side.

THE LIE, the sound is so free, yet you can feel some kind of passion when you listen to the lyrics, but this is not a I love this song! A nice surprise for most. This track is beautiful hands down. Mix of Classic Rock and Indie.

This song was quite appealing to our band. Usually we compose Metal and Grunge music. So obviously we wanted this to be pure without electric guitars, and that Metal core sound. Written and performed by Darkest Side. Piano by: Tina Kirkland. Produced by: Master BIG (Travie Allen).

DEMOTIVATOR, the influence for this song is singer-songwriter Mark Lanegan. He rose to fame as the singer of Seattle's Screaming Trees. The vocals of Rick Beaman sound kinda like Mark Lanegan, good stuff. Absolutely grunge from start to finish!

If you like grunge, this song is awesome. Guitars are crazy off the heezy number 4 sheezy. Vocals are damn good if you like Mark Lanegan vocal style. DEMOTIVATOR is a sweet ass song. Grunge isn't dead! It's alive in this song. Written and performed by Darkest Side.]]> Fri, 30 May 2008 15:50:08 -0700 http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Three-New-Songs-Released-By-DARKEST-SIDE-For-ANGEL-OF-MERCY http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/New-Track-Uploaded-73-SATELLITE-just-released-by-Darkest-Side http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/New-Track-Uploaded-73-SATELLITE-just-released-by-Darkest-Side#comments 73 SATELLITE, the song, and the lyrics are like a great-exaggerated tribute to 90's grunge! Like the song NAME OF CHRIST, its like Alice in Chains with some decent metal guitars, and drums with the weird vox thing going on.

Solo guitar by lead singer Rick Beaman, great riffs that kick ass, and a sweet bass that licks by Tina Kirkland. 73 SATELLITE totally rocks, very Alice in Chains. Awesome IN EVERY WAY for those metal heads whom love that Gritty Bassey Sound! Final track for the Gothic Nights digital album theme.

Written and performed by Darkest Side]]> Fri, 09 May 2008 14:46:11 -0700 http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/New-Track-Uploaded-73-SATELLITE-just-released-by-Darkest-Side http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/New-Track-Uploaded-NAME-OF-CHRIST-just-released-by-Darkest-Side http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/New-Track-Uploaded-NAME-OF-CHRIST-just-released-by-Darkest-Side#comments NAME OF CHRIST, you will love the heavy, sludgy riffs, catchy chorus and verses that give off a creepy ambiance in this tribute to Alice in Chains. This song will remind you of Alice in Chains to the point of thinking Layne is still alive, rest his soul.

During the recording of NAME OF CHRIST, the grunge vocals of lead singer Rick Beaman will sound like Axl Rose a bit. A real jam that is awesome!

Lyrics......

It's Ok
Im feelin real strange
Brains gone blurted and deranged
(people can't ya listen to me whinge)
Can't ask god
Can ask satan
Gotta get rid of this love and hatred
(people's can't ya see.....)

You hate homo's
You hate gays's
Well you'll hate me when I say
Your a Homophobe
Ears are bleeding
Truth is singing
Well you'll hate me when I say
Your a Homophobe.......Yeah?

Where do I begin?
My whole life's a big sin
All because I can't win
(God ya like to listen to me whinge)
You're royal disiples
You're royal followers
Are now low down sin dwollerwers
(People can't ya see...)

You hate homo's
You hate gays's
Well you'll hate me when I say
Your a Homophobe
Ears are bleeding
Truth is singing
Well you'll hate me when I say
Your a Homophobe.......Yeah?

*guitar solo Rick Beaman*

Hate me
God you hate me...? X god knows how much

You hate homo's
You hate gays's
Well you'll hate me when I say
Your a Homophobe
Ears are bleeding
Truth is singing
Well you'll hate me when I say
Your a Homophobe
Homophobe
Homophobe
Homophobe
Your a Homophobe............

“HOMOPHOBE” is a pure Grunge tune, and is not pointed at any one group!]]> Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:10:11 -0700 http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Lyrics-to-HOMOPHOBE-It-seems-the-song-has-turned-into-a-bitter-song http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/New-Track-Uploaded-HIDE-just-released-by-Darkest-Side http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/New-Track-Uploaded-HIDE-just-released-by-Darkest-Side#comments "HIDE", lets have some fun, its our attempt at a pop-punk rock sound. HIDE is different, but cool. This element of pop-punk rock added the bit of speed to our music that our band looks for sometimes. For many of our fans, you may not like it as well as the other songs, but the band thinks it is an awesome song!

Many bands, including Darkest Side try to evolve over the years to suit the changing tastes of their audience while forgetting what made them great. HIDE is just one song and sometimes it is good to explore.]]> Thu, 10 Apr 2008 07:33:08 -0700 http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/New-Track-Uploaded-HIDE-just-released-by-Darkest-Side http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Experimental-Track-Upload-HOMOPHOBE-just-released-by-Darkest-Side-Vocals-by-Tina-Kirkland http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Experimental-Track-Upload-HOMOPHOBE-just-released-by-Darkest-Side-Vocals-by-Tina-Kirkland#comments
Again, this experimental track is a little different. But Darkest Side is always writing new music, and developing new sounds. “HOMOPHOBE” is a pure Grunge tune!

This track is located on our Darkest Side Free Jams – Experimental songs, we think you are going to dig it! Check it out, download if you like.

Don't forget to check out the song uploaded this morning "SOME PEOPLE" performed live last night by lead singer Rick Beaman.

With his own band not attending the party, the band playing the gig did a great job following the singer with just bass, drums, and Rick at lead guitar.

This experimental track was a little different for us. But we are always writing new music, and developing new sounds. BUY MYSELF is real light grunge, and a light metal tune.

The song DISTRACTED definitely speaks for itself! The achievements that Darkest Side, and lead singer Rick Beaman have made are one of perfection.

Kick ASS with DISTRACTED by Darkest Side, with lead singer and frontman Rick Beaman!]]> Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:39:07 -0700 http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/New-Track-Uploaded-DISTRACTED-just-released-by-Darkest-Side http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Rick-Beaman-Says-His-Music-Makes-People-Feel-Like-Theyre-Not-Alone http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Rick-Beaman-Says-His-Music-Makes-People-Feel-Like-Theyre-Not-Alone#comments
But now Beaman has a more upbeat view of life, he's thrilled to hear suicidal fans have chosen life over death after listening to his songs.

He explains, "I'm all about making people feel like they're not alone. One fan wrote, they were seriously contemplating suicide, but that night they were searching the Internet using the keywords (darkest side) on Yahoo, and came across the Darkest Side band site on FUZZ -- http://darkestside.fuzz.com/ . After listening to a few of my songs, something pulled them back from the edge. I know how it feels to be completely alone and helpless, and the last thing you want to hear in that situation is, 'It's going to be OK.' The only thing that seems to really help is that someone else who has felt that low expressing those feelings to you."]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:09:40 -0700 http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Rick-Beaman-Says-His-Music-Makes-People-Feel-Like-Theyre-Not-Alone http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/New-Track-Uploaded-MY-ADVICE-just-released-by-Darkest-Side http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/New-Track-Uploaded-MY-ADVICE-just-released-by-Darkest-Side#comments

If you have good taste in music, you will dig I KNOW. The 90's Grunge rock scene has returned, I KNOW is packed with deep emotion, meaning, and purpose!

Darkest Side alternative grunge/hard rock sound has positioned the band among some of the most popular, and provocative bands to emerge during the post-grunge era.

Also released, the very last recording of the bands late drummer Debbie Beaman, also the wife of lead singer Rick Beaman. Debbie performed the song ONLY YOU before her death just sex (6) weeks later. This was the softer side of her, Debbie Beaman on vocals, Rick Beaman on guitar.]]> Tue, 26 Feb 2008 08:37:55 -0800 http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/DARKEST-SIDE-Experimental-Jams-Released http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Darkest-Side-Who-Is-Elizabeth-Johnson http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Darkest-Side-Who-Is-Elizabeth-Johnson#comments
Like a movie actress, Elizabeth portrays a Gothic Princess. Moving from cemetery to cemetery, seeking out evil, horror, and little children to eat! But this Gothic Princess may look horrifying, fashion and fetish collide to make her naughty!

Elizabeth is one of the hottest new girls on the net! Described as a good girl----gone bad, she really is an evil girl. But she can also be your sweetest dream!]]> Sun, 24 Feb 2008 09:33:11 -0800 http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Darkest-Side-Who-Is-Elizabeth-Johnson http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Darkest-Side-single-REMAINING http://DarkestSide.fuzz.com/blog/entry/Darkest-Side-single-REMAINING#comments
Darkest Side, along with Rick Beaman are just one of a few artists who writes, plays, and produces everything on their music. This can be a good thing, saving at least three to six percent on the bottom line immediately, but all too often it means there’s nobody to tell you when what you're doing just doesn't cut it.

Some may read into the title REMAINING as ironic being the featured song REMAINS is on the single! But the heavy grunge, and hard rock sounds is what makes Darkest Side, they are hardly known for their genre-bending musical breakthroughs.

For those who love heavy grunge, more convincing sounds, and solid riffs. Darkest Side is hi-octane, ass-kicking grunge at its best…

Elizabeth Johnson will be entering my fantasies in the near future! Ok, we all know that isn’t the case, but one can always dream? Actually, just click on the multimedia button above and check out the latest photos of Elizabeth Johnson.

PS: Elizabeth Johnson is taken, sorry guys. She is the girlfriend of lead singer Rick Beaman of the band Darkest Side. So fantasies only!
