Switzerland (1999 – present)
Darkspace is an ambient black metal band from Switzerland formed in 1999, comprising three humans who call themselves Wroth, Zhaaral and Zorgh. Space-age names for an equally space-age project. True to its name what Darkspace’ music describes is the nothingness of space.
Their style is characterized by an ambient surrounding, hazy production and monotonic sounds, but which is somewhat uniquely melodic and variable. Mute guitar passages with blastbeats take turns with milder passages and sometimes even completely electronic passages, providing a fitting tribute to the cold, dark and void like atmosphere which fills their work. Unlike most pure black metal bands, Darkspace also uses some rhythmic, death-metal-oriented parts. This is evident in their first full-length-album “Dark Space I”.
Darkspace borrows a great deal of influence from electronic music, eerie, ambient synthlines which flow from the guitars. Passage with clear electronic clubkicks or total voidlike ambience are incorporated into vocal samples alongside the unnaturally lyricless and very alien sounding screams.
Their first demo, “Dark Space -I” is available for free download here: http://www.darkcyberspace.com/dark_space-i.html.

How does a band like Darkspace even translate to ringtones? Has anyone else noticed that the spambot messages always feature the top played track for the previous link as the spambot's alleged "favourite"? I doubt they even have ringtones for half the artists whose shoutboxes they spam. It's pretty pathetic.

Muliilator; Indeed, and if Last Fm ever integrates the 'normalised' sorted-by-time charts WE WILL REAP THE REWARDS. Actually, Opeth have a crazy amount of plays/listeners for their style.
