LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY PROJECT CALLED DARK SARAH.....
![]()
The ones who don´t know me yet
my name is
Heidi Parviainen, I´m a classical singer from Finland.
You may know me better from by previous band, Amberian Dawn. In 2012 our path together came to its´ end. Back then I already knew I wanted to make
something different, something that would not maybe be so "radio
friendly" but would create a whole new world around the music, genuine
music that would combine elements of film music and metal music and even some music theater too. And so I started a very ambitious project,
DARK SARAH,
where all the elements: music, story, lyrics, music videos, photos etc.
would support each other like in a good movie.
LISTEN TO THE EPISODE 1 HERE![]()
DARK SARAH´s DEBUT ALBUM CALLED "BEHIND THE BLACK VEIL..."
....is a concept album. It follows a certain story line and tells a story of Sarah who after a personal trauma changes to her meaner side persona Dark Sarah. The album will be published digitally in 3 episodes and at the moment only for the Indie GoGo supporters. The EPISODE I got full funding here on Indie GoGo and has already been published for the contributors. Now Dark Sarah is ready for the second round! Are you?

EPISODE II will bring you...
...the darker and heavier sound of Dark Sarah. Where the EPISODE I presented the more solitude and melancholic side of Sarah the EPISODE II will welcome the remorseless and cruel Dark Sarah. We said goodbye to sorrowful Sarah and saluted Dark Sarah the first time in a duet "Memories Fall" with Manuela Kraller (ex-Xandria). The EPISODE II will be featured by Inga Scharf of Van Canto in a duet with me. EPISODE II will include 4 NEW cinematic metal songs!
