Beware of Darkness made their first live tv debut on Conan performing “Howl” in 2013. Their hit single, “Howl” has been featured in various movies and video games over the years. In August 2013, the band was nominated for “Best New Band” by UK’s Classic Rock Magazine. Beware of Darkness has played side by side with bands like Soundgarden, AWOLNATION, and Thirty Seconds to Mars at various festivals. After the release of the album, Beware of Darkness toured the United Kingdom and Europe supporting rock band Smashing Pumpkins. Their debut album, Orthodox, was released May 2013 in the United States. Using George Harrisons beautiful song (but Leon Russells version of it) as a take-off point, the band uses a full-blown choir, thundering guitars, and Neal Morses growling vocal to create another valid and moving version of the tune. The music video was released on music channel Fuse later in the year. Beware of Darkness, the follow-up to California prog unit Spocks Beards underground hit debut, The Light, is a complete exercise in MORE. Beware of Darkness released their debut single “Howl” in April 2012. First releasing the 2012 EP Howl, a year later, they dropped the highly impressive debut album Orthodox. Things started to look up for the group when they were asked to play at the famous SXSW festival in 2012. Soon adding Bassist Daniel Curcio, within no time, Beware of Darkness caught the attention of Indie label Bright Antenna who locked the band up to a record deal. The band signed a record deal with Bright Antenna the same year and opened for various artists. The duo met Daniel Curcio a little later and played their first show at the Roxy in Los Angeles. In 2002, it was additionally covered by Eric Clapton as part of his contributions to the Concert for George tribute.Beware of Darkness was formed in 2010 after a meeting between Kyle Nicolaides and Tony Cupito.
Russell's version was available on his concurrent Leon Russell and the Shelter People release, while Marianne Faithfull, Concrete Blonde, and Spock's Beard are among those to have also reworked the tune.
It would resurface on the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh benefit soundtrack album with Leon Russell trading lead vocals with Harrison. Klein Company - a firm whose owner was the Beatles' recently acquired manager.
Interestingly, that title copped its name from an off-the-cuff ad lib that Harrison sings at the conclusion of the demo, and the acronym stands for Allan B. This intimate and stripped-down reading can be heard on the highly recommended Beware of ABKCO bootleg CD issued in 1998. The song was initially pitched in an acoustic form to producer Phil Spector during the spring of 1970 for possible inclusion on the artist's first post- Beatles outing, the following year's All Things Must Pass. There are some obvious social references such as "Beware of falling swingers/Dropping all around you" and "Beware of soft shoe shufflers/Dancing down the sidewalks." Likewise, the thinly veiled political commentaries warn "Beware of greedy leaders/They take you where you should not go." Deeper still is the introspective admonition to "Beware of the thoughts that linger/Winding up inside your head/While hopelessness surrounds you/In the dead of night." Tellingly, Harrison tucks the resolution "It can hit you/It can hurt you/Make you sore and what is more/That is not what you are here for" between the verses. "Beware of Darkness" is a foreboding ballad lyrically couched in George Harrison's trademark sense of dense, if not cerebrally opaque, imagery.
