Fractal electronic samples slice through layers of extraterrestrial drones, manifesting an immersive experience defying the boundaries of the conventional black metal genre. Vocal transmissions, like whispers from the outer reaches, seamlessly interwoven in the chilling mix, add a haunting dimension to the 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.

DARKSPACE was founded by Wroth, Zorgh and Zhaaral in 1999 in Berne (Switzerland). In two decades four albums and an EP were released: Dark Space -I to Dark Space III I. The band rarely appeared live. In 2019 Zorgh quit while the band was awarded the Music Prize of the Canton of Berne for the creation of their soundscapes and their atmospheric performances. In 2022 Yhs joined Wroth and Zhaaral to complete the three again. Far on the horizon outlines of a new release are emerging.
