That’s right, earthlings: Darkspace are gearing up for their long-awaited return. It’s been almost a decade since their last transmission. But next year, they’ll emerge from the void with Dark Space -II.
This new recording loosely deviates from the course set by Darkspace on their previous four albums. New member Yhs leads Wroth and Zharaal to experiment with different sonic textures. But while the mysterious trio still venture into uncharted aural territories, Dark Space -II never leaves their familiar realm of psychedelic, atmospheric, spatial black metal.
Dark Space -II comes out February 16, 2024. But you can hear a snippet of the supermassive black hole that is “Dark -2.-2” today over on our YouTube channel.

Fractal electronic samples slice through layers of extraterrestrial drones, manifesting an immersive experience that defies the boundaries of the conventional black metal genre. Vocal transmissions, like whispers from the outer reaches, seamlessly intertwine in the chilling mix, adding a haunting dimension to this celestial configuration.
DARKSPACE beckons you. Come explore the vast unknown.
Season of Mist reissued all of Darkspace’s catalogue on CD and vinyl this year. Listen from Dark Space -I to Dark Space III I and hear how their hypnotic and otherworldly sound has influenced the modern black metal of today.
