The fire of thrash metal burns brighter than ever as Return to Darkness emerges from the shadows with their full-length album, “Eternal”, released July 2025 via Divebomb Records. For fans of Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera, this record delivers a punishing blend of technical riffing, melodic hooks, and relentless metal aggression.

Formed from the remnants of the early ’90s thrash outfit Out of Darkness, the band’s original members—guitarists Jon Ciorciari and Greg Paravati, drummer Forrest Leighton, bassist Sean Weiss, and vocalist Ron Roshong—reunited over twenty years later to finally bring their vision to life. With decades of experience and a renewed creative drive, Return to Darkness revives the band’s classic sound while injecting it with a modern edge.

“When we were young, we would put our trust in others to bring our music to life, and the results were always far from what we had hoped for. I got into doing this for a living because of those experiences,” says founding guitarist Jon “J Rod” Ciorciari.

Eternal was produced and engineered by Jon Ciorciari, with mastering handled by Jamie King at Jamie King Audio. The project was overseen by Mathew H. Rudzinski for Tribunal Records, Inc.

Thrash fans can expect a record that balances hard-hitting crunch with technical prowess, paying homage to the classic sound of early Metallica and Slayer while carving its own identity in today’s metal landscape. With Return to Darkness, the past meets the present—and the result is eternal.
