Tom's Reviews Come for the crushing riffs and atmosphere, stay for the sheer heaviness that comes from the two. This is a great album. Favorite track: CreepDeepSkull.

Darknight I really like this new album by Darqo, the sludgy riff on 'SomertonMan' is unbelievable, it grabs hold of you and doesn't let go until the end. The atmosphere through the whole album amazes me but the killer vocals and effects are so beautiful, excellent record. Favorite track: SomertonMan.

uwzakennie I am a huge fan of their 'Nights at the Scullery' and 'Tannhauser Gata', however did not get it the first 2 times I listened to this album. BUT I AM ADDICTED NOW! Their music is so layered and smart and emotionally compelling. I WANT MORE! Favorite track: UserEmpty.

about

This second full album by noise-doom-sludge monster Darqo sizzles and swirls like musical magma straight to your ears, leaving a scorching trail behind. A healthy combination of noise, gaze and sludge. The entire process of writing and recording took no less than 4 years! Abruptly interrupted by a pandemic, they managed to turn this negative news into something beautiful.
During this musical lockdown, they released an EP in 2021 under the name Tannhauser Gate. When freedom gradually came closer, the new record was slowly but steadily finished. Cisco recorded the guitars in his attic. Thomas went to Wannes in his home studio. Jelle recorded the drums with Brecht and Bjørn finished the vocals at home. All this was put together and eventually headed to Sweden at Redmount Studios to get the final stamp.
The result: a low and slow, but at times melodic and dreamy album that grabs you emotionally by the throat and doesn't let go until the last note.

credits

released September 23, 2022

Recorded at Creeptown by Cisco, Bass recorded by Wannes Breyne, Drums recorded by Brecht V. Mastered by Magnus Lindberg at Redmount Studios

Darqo Belgium

Darqo is a noise - doom - sludge monster from the West Flemish underbelly. Featuring members of MIAVA and Mindstab (RIP) they will send you on a path where catchy tunes and poppy beats do not exist. Darqo is ruff, spontaneous and organic…Dire, haunting music for a lost society. ... more
