Now, what's very interesting and captivating about Darkspace's music is the fact that every album is just simply titled Darkspace- I,II,III in roman numerals. It indicates that each album is a Sequential contiuum of the last and each song is simply titled Dark 3.10, 3.11, 3.12 etc etc. Now what this means to me is that each record and track is an experience. A deep cosmic journey into the black infinite void of space and all of its intense alien mystery and wonder.

This album is NO exception to the rule as it is easily one of their heaviest and darkest albums with a strong emphasis on keyboard driven atmospheres, pulse pounding insane drumming, guitar work and bass along with a bone chilling vocal performance that sounds like an insane cry from deep space that is completely trapped in cosmic nothingness and isolation.

The layers upon layers of insturmentation and complex atmosphere here almost defy all sense of reason and logic as each texture and emotion that's being conveyed here all exist simultaneously in it's own parallel universe if you will and it sounds like it could all collapse into its own black hole where it would devour itself, much like space itself where all matter is nothing but black and cold.

Cosmic black metal has always been a fascinating sub genre of black metal to me because you always get bands that have immense depth, substance and passion. Darkspace are in my opinion the elite of cosmic black metal and the devotion and integrity to their extreme uncompromising approach to black metal is untouchable and often times unfathomable to the listener.

Each track is an experience in of itself and the atmosphere and layers of complexity as each track pulls you deeper into its cosmic void of complete hopeless nothingness. This is obviously the goal of the band and the music itself.

The keyboard work is nothing short of absolute brilliant and really serves to bring you further and further into its atmosphere of total darkness and oblivion along with the guitar, drumming, bass and vocals where all time stops and you are forced to comprehend the infinite nothingness that surrounds you, yet nothing surrounds you at the same time and that's the emotions that this album conjures up. It is truly fucking remarkable on every aspect.

Doing a track by track review would be futile with a band like Darkspace because each song is a continuation of the last in terms of direction, atmosphere and it's overall goal, yet there is tons of variation here that allow this kind of approach to work so well that it never becomes predictable or boring.
The production is also raw but it's its also clear enough that you can hear each insturment perfectly and the walls of guitar driven noise help the riffs reach a level of overwhelming emotion and atmosphere that builds and builds until you are absolutely englufed in it's intensity and black void of nothingness.

Alright so let's check out some of "Dark 3.13" right here on music of destruction.......... and guys we are back, and yes this is an absolute monster of a cosmic black metal album that every fucking fan of black metal should have in their collection along with every other Darkspace album. The final verdict for Darkspace-III is a 10/10. An absolute masterpiece.
