Dark Mother's Child marks the third full-length release by the female-fronted melodic metal band Lankester Merrin. Following their successful previous album, Dark Mother Rises (2023), the band presents nine tracks combining dynamic melodies and powerful riffs. The album showcases a mix of anthemic tracks, mid-tempo rockers, intense double bass numbers, and emotive power ballads, all demonstrating their refined and mature style. With the razor-sharp solos and the driving guitar riffs, the album offers a dynamic listening experience.

Frontwoman Cat Rogers plays a significant role in shaping the band's sound with her multi-faceted vocals, which have become a defining element of the band. Recorded and produced at the Institut für Wohlklangforschung in Hanover by Hannes Huke (known for his work with Drone and Grailknights), the album avoids the typical symphonic clichés often associated with female-fronted bands, opting for a more powerful and straightforward metal approach.

  • Cat Rogers - Vocals
