Ex-Dance Or Die members Darkness On Demand back with brand new album ‘Panic In Reserve’ – Out now
Darkness On Demand
Darkness On Demand are back with their 4th studio album, “Panic In Reserve”. The album was preceded by the free (pay as you wish) single “Panic” on Bandcamp. This digital single also includes the exclusive 7 min long extended mix of this new song and an official video clip.
The new album holds 10 tracks on which Wagner and Falgalas tackle the harsh realities of politics, religion, and society. As former members of the iconic ’80s act Dance Or Die, the Berlin band continues to work under the Darkness On Demand banner fusing moody, melodic electronics with aggressive EBM industrial beats.
The new album can already be ordered from the Alfa Matrix webstore on CD or as download via Bandcamp.
About Darkness On Demand
Darkness On Demand (DoD) is a German dark electro and industrial project formed in 2017 by three members of the iconic band Dance or Die – Gary Wagner, Falgalas (Heiko Duus), and Chris L. Although Chris L. left in 2018 and was replaced by Seba, the band retained its commitment to blending old-school electro with contemporary dark electronic sounds.
DoD’s music merges elements of EBM, industrial, and futuristic themes, often reflecting dystopian and apocalyptic visions. Their lyrics are highly engaged, focusing on societal critiques, digitalization, and the relationship between humans and technology, as seen in albums like “Post Stone Age Technology” and “Digital Outcast”. Their sound has evolved from their earlier works, with a strong emphasis on catchy, danceable grooves designed for dark dancefloors.
The band has continued to explore complex themes in their music, from the psychological impact of urban life to broader societal issues, delivering a unique blend of retro and future-oriented electro soundscapes.
