Darkspace
Darkspace is a Swiss ambient black metal band from Bern, considered to be a pioneer of the cosmic subset therein.
Their lyrical themes revolve around space, darkness and cosmic mysticism, and their music features sporadic isolated samples from space-themed films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Event Horizon and Alien.The band does not title their works; each album is titled Dark Space, differentiated only by a subsequent Roman numeral indicating order of release—and likewise, each track is titled "Dark" followed by two digits that represent the album number and discography-wise track number respectively, which are separated by a decimal point. As an example, "Dark 3.16" is from their third album and is their sixteenth overall piece. For reasons unknown, their fourth album is titled Dark Space III I rather than Dark Space IV.
The band's album covers follow a consistent pattern as well in that their sole features are the band's logo on the top-center, a rectangle near the bottom-right (which varies in size, shape and position) containing vague and ethereal grayscale artwork which differs with each release, and a black background.
