Dark Essence Records have never been afraid to venture into the outskirts of the metal
scene and work with bands and artists that are doing something different and special but
still have a strong link to metal music.
From the mountains of Madrid, ANTINOË emerges as a one-woman project that crafts
haunting, piano-driven music with ethereal vocals, weaving neoclassical elegance,
symphonic rock and the dark atmospheres of black metal into deeply melancholic
soundscapes that explore themes of loss, yearning, and self-reflection.
Since its inception in 2021, ANTINOË — led by Teresa Marraco — has embraced a personal
approach to darkness through piano compositions that intertwine with a rich, resonant
voice. Her collaborations include black metal acts such as Coldborn, Elffor, Balmog, and
Empty. She also recorded the piano/keyboards for Dimmu Borgir’s live performance of “Det
Nye Riket” at Beyond the Gates Festival. In 2023, she debuted with “Whispers from the Dark
Past”, a celebrated acoustic reimagining of 90s Norwegian black metal classics that helped
define her unique style.

ANTINOË had this to say about joining the Dark Essence Records roster:
I’m excited to share the news that ANTINOË has joined the Norwegian label Dark Essence
Records. Their vision and understanding of music resonate strongly with mine, and I couldn’t
feel more supported and inspired to embark on this journey together. It’s a privilege to share
a roster with bands I deeply admire. The future shines bright—so let the shadows unfold.
