Swedish alt rock/post punk band Darkplace have aired their new single “This Is Loud” and its accompanying video.
The track features on the band’s upcoming debut album, About The End Of The World, set to arrive in October via Icons Creating Evil Art. Get it here.
DARKPLACE is an anonymous band that has recently emerged on the music scene. Rooted in post punk, Their music also incorporates elements of experimental rock, alternative, and a variety of other genres. The concept behind the album is centered around a grim future, or perhaps present, where the world is depicted through digital paintings in the accompanying music videos. The imagery is inspired by the bleak landscape of Stockholm’s Västerort, but with a unique and imaginative twist.
With “This Is Loud”, the artist gives us a sneak peek into the new chapter with this cryptic message:
“I Couldn’t go out anymore, I didn’t feel safe. It was all connected, I don’t know how but we all knew it was part of something bigger. In secret forums we discussed. We knew what it ment, the world was ending. Is it possible to survive this? Will we all go mad? Nowhere is safe.”
Most of the instrumental songs on ‘About the End of the World’, were written with a specific dramaturgy and story in mind, which shows in the cinematic short movie-like music videos. Darkplace gives us an intriguing insight to their creative process.

Darkplace is not only about music, is an art project that seeks to explore and comment on the state of the world through their music and visuals.
