It is from this same perspective that Kemic-Al created The Dark Journal.
Inspired by the true story of Vlad The Impaler, whose life was also the inspiration behind the legend of Dracula, Kemic-Al researched his
subject quite deeply, picking up elements that punctuated his perception of Vlad's tragic and darkly brutal life story. Bearing all this in mind then, it is
hardly surprising that The Dark Journal has a strong cinematic twist to it. With each track running into the next, the continuous thread maintains a steady
pace most of the time, while the carefully implemented string arrangements and interludes give the music a more defined portrayal of Vlad's bloodied and
tortured existence.
It is no secret that Kemic-Al is deeply influenced by film, and his latest certainly brings out this characteristic to the fore. Enhancing this cinematic
perspective, which at times even reveals more than a hint of Gothic influence, is the inclusion of a 6-page booklet outlining the story behind the record, an
effort that helps The Dark Journal come even closer than its predecessor to Kemic-Al's pronounced dictum that 'Sound is the art of seeing invisible things'.
