Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.” You may recognize this passage from Edgar Allan Poe’s iconic poem, The Raven. Darkness has a certain divine power over us. It can instill uncertainty and fear while simultaneously enamoring us with a romanticized feeling of mystery and despair. It is a force that we are undeniably drawn to. Whether it be a horror movie, a haunted house, or a song that captures its sinister essence, darkness has a way of pulling us in and Dark Divine has mastered the art of capturing that essence. Hailing from Orlando, FL this Hard Rock act shows us a side of darkness that brings a sentiment of anguish mixed with a sincere notion of understanding. They are having a moment right now from the Motionless In White open verse TikTok challenge, being up to 1.2 million views, 150k likes and 8,000 comments. Their video has more views than MIW and also the #1 tiktok video for the sound. The band’s recently released singles “Circles” and “Run Away” showcases Dark Divine’s horror-driven atmosphere in a theatrical way. Conceptual ideology aside, the band brings hard hitting instrumentation and a vocal power that stands to cement the act as a fresh mainstay of the hard rock and metal genres for years to come.

The name OUTLIER came years before Joey Arena realized he’d been describing himself all along.

As the founder, songwriter, and architect behind the project, Arena has built one of independent music’s most respected careers. With millions of streams, support from SiriusXM Octane, Billboard and Top 40 success, and collaborations with artists including Chris Motionless, JD of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Leal, Hyro the Hero, and Sen Dog, OUUTLIER has become known for music that pairs emotional weight with modern heaviness.

Arena remains deeply involved in every aspect of the project, from songwriting and arrangements to visual concepts and creative direction, continuing to shape OUTLIER with the same uncompromising vision that inspired it from the beginning.
