So, one of the biggest ambient black metal bands released their new album this year. Time to lose some words on that. Darkspace from Switzerland continue their journey through the dark space (no pun intended as it's the actual name of their albums) with Dark Space III I. And not only that but even the songs are simply called "Dark 4.18", "Dark 4.19" and "Dark 4.20". Looks like the band is quite out of ideas, doesn't it? However, the important point is the music, so let's have a closer look at that.

I didn't enjoy it. Darkspace has an interesting sound indeed, but (to me, of course) much of the potential is wasted on this album. While listening, this thought kept appearing in my head: "yes, i know that space is scary, but what the fuck else can you tell me?". Thus III I goes to my shit list.

Finally decided that III is the better album. Funny, since this is my #1 of 2014 while III isn't even in my top 3 of its respective year.

Well, I didn't because that keyboard bit on track 2 made me believe this was better than sex each time I heard it.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand still fucking amazing. I'm putting my tent in the "III is still the best" camp though. But like Lit. said, It does put up a good fight.

I also have to echo everyone who commented on the second track. Those keys are one of the greatest highlights in their entire discography, that's for damn sure.

Wow. The keys are amazing (never heard this before).

Also, why is this thread so long? Can someone tell me so I don't have to scroll through 3 year old arguments forever?

Ehm. We were expecting Darkspace IV and not III I. That's about it.

Really? That's the reason there are 6 pages of arguing? Kind of stupid if you ask me.

Wow. I took a nap earlier and I dreamt I was listening to Darkspace for some reason. Which is weird because I don't listen to Darkspace since about the release date of this one.

The song in the dream didn't even sound like any of it

Really? I took a fast look yesterday and I thought there was plenty of discussion actually revolving the music. I was even surprised at how non-stupid it was considering other long threads.

Well, I was mostly joking but there has to be at least one page of comments related to the title.

I'm probably not going to go through it, at least not today. I just didn't believe what Zaph said about it being about the title.

Hey I'm still around. I was looking around the new posts concerning Warrel Dane's death ( :/ ), when Paz and Karlito brought some warmth back into my heart.

No but seriously VIG, amongst the ton of nonsense we poured on this forum, I'm sure we had some pretty lively discussions around the music. I remember how passionate I was about being very indifferent about this album. If it wasn't for the time I had spent reading these comments back then, I wouldn't even remember listening to this album.

You hurt ym feelings. I loved this one. III is still the best one though hands down.

I'm just sittin waiting for a complete works box set. Don't worry. I've already moaned to b0ss about it.

The way I've viewed Darkspace was everything always collectively together as a journey. The way they dealt with the final few minutes so well on that quote to me solidified the end of it all.
