DARKSPACE III I

After years of radio silence, contact is once again established with the good ship Darkspace, its crew emerging from their stasis pods to plot a new course for atmospheric black metal once again. This time around, we seem to have caught them in a comparatively calm region of space, without the ripping and tearing of black holes or jostling of solar storms we've been used to on previous tours of duty with them. Not that this is a dull affair, mind - just that it's a bit more melodic, a bit more ambient and distant, and a bit less outright abrasive than some previous releases by the group. May make a good entry point for those not used to atmospheric black metal.
