Darkspace cram their third album with more ambient black metal compositions more or less in a similar vein to those on their second album, though they tend to be uniformly 10 minutes or so in length with the exception of a shorter track and a couple of longer pieces at the end. A lot of the time when bands put out CDs crammed to capacity like this the end result can be disappointing, with a lack of editing resulting in an album which is overlong and guilty of containing filler. Not so Dark Space III; the band maintain a tremendously consistent quality across the entire album, and whilst their schtick does at points threaten to get a little samey, on the whole this is another fascinating journey through the black metal void.

Maybe, or possibly deliberately setting course for a black hole and cranking up the speed as I go, like at the end of Cygnus X-1. I find each Darkspace album is a different starship journey every time I listen. :)

I must know, from the 8:30 mark till the end of "Dark 3.11", did you feel like you were being pulled into the sun and that it was an awesome feeling?
