Chain Reaction
Date Released: 10/10/2010
Tracks: 9 In the next chapter of Dark World's music, Chain Reaction is what bassist Herman Brotherton says "the album Dark World has EVER worked hard on". Brotherton also claims that they went a little bit prog-ish for this album (examples include "Myself To Blame" and "Demonopia), but it doesn't matter. Dark World is finally back with a followup album for 'Respect All That Crank Up The Volume', and the album will definitely not disappoint the old fans and new fans. So, here we go, here's "Chain Reaction" |

4
Date Released: 5/2/2009
Tracks: 9 This is Dark World's new album 4. I'll give you two reasons why the album is kind of weird. 1: The Photoshop was closed, if you're wondering about the album cover, and 2: They couldn't think of a name. Anyway, this album includes songs like "Be Careful What you Wish For", "It's Life" and "I'm Not Ready". One of the songs, "Yestermach", actually tells a story of when Dustin Falen, the guitarist, had nightmares of a monster when he was younger. He'd always call the monster Yestermach. |
