Darkest Days - Museum of Fear

Daniel Miller and Bill McKeown began writing music together as members of the progressive metal band Apollo Ra. The initial release, ‘Ra Pariah’, became an underground success in the heavy metal community.

The group eventually morphed into the original lineup of Museum of Fear. This would mark a new direction, with a renewed focus on songwriting. The initial release, ‘Post-Hypnotic Suggestion Box’, on Conspiracy Records, illustrates this next phase in the evolution of the band’s sound.

The original lineup went their separate ways in 1995, with Dan and Bill continuing to write music as they’d always done. The product of this renewed focus was intended to be the logical next step for Museum of Fear. These 6 songs bring together some old and new friends to create a project that paves the way for the next era of Museum of Fear..

"Darkest Days" features the drumming and electronic percussion of original
Apollo Ra and MoF drummer Steve Albinak.

Longtime friend, and new Museum of Fear drummer Mike Shaw, contributed his skills on "Always Goodbye", "Afterthought", "Walking Wounded" and "Mindwheel".

Mike’s brother, Dave Shaw, rounded out the rhythm section on bass for the remake of ‘Mindwheel’. The track had originally appeared on the PHSB album.

Baltimore drummer, Darren Wallach, of Forwardhead lent his percussive talents to ‘Fade’. This track also featured close friend Tom Dvorak on piano.
