Chasing the Dark

Independent Alternative Prog Rock with a Steamgoth twist. Something dark and a bit different. Started in 2017, Chasing the Dark is a new self generated music project by former Metropolis front man and Caamora artist Chris Longman. Building on the foundations so popular in Metropolis, Chasing the Dark looks to forge the music forward in new and exciting directions. With a steady stream of digital single releases on a 2-3 month basis, Chasing the Dark looks to inspire music lovers looking for something a bit more interesting than the norm, and hopes to recapture in them that sense of dark wonder and melodic awe that music used to have. Chris Longman “one of the definitive voices of the international Steampunk scene” Atticus Oldman, Steampunk Almanac

Huge and massive MASSIVE thanks to Stephen Foster for featuring my new Chasing the Darkk single on both BBC Suffolk & Norfolk tonight between 6pm - 7pm. Foz has always been a supporter of Chasing the Dark, and we will miss him on our airwaves courtesy of Auntie Beeb, as he shortly moves on to pastures new. We wish you the very best with your new endeavours Foz, I hope you can keep supporting small local bands in the future. xx https://www.instagram.com/p/CH5xj1lHyjVhaB56K_HbpuNfJFJtAGgv41Job80/?igshid=atqm84jnvbpo

Was asked to colour a friend's old photo of their relative. In my research I actually managed to find the actual Street this was shot on. Anyone hazard a guess? Really enjoyed colouring the cars in the background. #colorizedphoto @colorizers_union #colouringhistory #colorizedhistory #colorizedhistoricalphotos #colorized #colourised #colourisedhistory #colorizedphotos https://www.instagram.com/p/CCNxlSinrwODzKHEiXQNxYbq3n255IV7s9hhFQ0/?igshid=1yakpppqzfuy
