New Album, The Dark Enlightenment, Coming Nov 3
One of Australia’s most exciting and enigmatic extreme metal outfits, Deadspace, have released the second single from their upcoming full length The Dark Enlightenment. which will be released on November 3.
Fanged Noumena is another pummelling and vitriolic track, setting the stage for the horror to come.
Driven by blast beats and hissing guitars, “Fanged Noumena” demonstrates Deadspace’s tortured raw black metal misanthropy. An influx of chaotic fury drags the listener by the throat for most of the track, only to break into a sinister dirge of creepy dissonance that is accompanied by tribal and ominous percussion.
There are hints that suggest that there is something more sophisticated interwoven into a classic black metal approach on this record and leaves room for fans to wonder what the greater picture will entail.

Vocalist Chris Gebauer pushes both his lower vocal range and production skills as the entire album is completely engineered and mixed by himself in his home studio Oblivion Studio.
Fanged Noumena and first single Culminating Chaos are a glimpse into the punchy production of the record, featuring the destructive drumming of Herb Bennetts, unique guitar approach by Thomas Major and newest addition Aiden Vestgaard, and distorted bass slaughterhouse of Dez Sogutluoglu.
Deadspace’s new musical, lyrical and philosophical trajectory has entered into the realm of masterful and unrelenting chaos – taking another step away from the melodic depressive elements of past eras, re-asserting their place amongst heavy and experimental black metal hard-hitters.

With a substantial near decade long career behind them, Deadspace tow the line between black metal and the avant-garde. Drawing influence from both musical and philosophical abstract thinkers, the band exists in a unique vacuum that transcends the boundaries of coherency. Embracing dissonant pandemonium, Deadspace deliver an onslaught which is both raw and texturally rich.
With an extensive and ever-evolving musical catalogue, Deadspace have graced the global live arena with grand velocity. Notably, touring Australia with Satyricon (NOR), Japan with Marduk (SWE), Merrimack (FR), Abigail Williams (USA), Fleshgod Apocalypse (IT), and Shining (SWE). In 2019 DEADSPACE embarked on a 3-week European tour spanning over 10 countries with Psychonout 4 (GE), Vanhelga (SWE), Eyelesssight (IT), Lebenssucht (GER/BEL), and Afraid of Destiny (IT).
Deadspace first emerged into the global spotlight with their debut record “The Promise of Oblivion” (2015) as a depressive black metal entity, and have since evolved into their own unique brand of apocalyptic and filthy chaos.
