"It's getting dark..."

If you've been waiting for Industrial Hardcore and Hard Techno to go dark again, then this is it.

Grinding, distorted kicks. Reverbing modular synths. Crushed percussion. Eerie atmospheres and haunted whispers. This sound will make you feel just the right kind of uncomfortable.

This is the first double-sided single from Blackbox: Kasamaan, the long-awaited new sequel to the Blackbox album from Ophidian.

The original Blackbox—released as five 7" vinyls—has earned cult status among fans, who’ve been asking for a sequel ever since. Now, the wait is over.

Mirroring the first album, Series 2 will unfold across five double releases, culminating in the full album on digital, 12" vinyl, and CD—complete with additional material.

With the release of his new double album Between the Candle and the Star Ophidian returns to his roots. Between the Candle and the Star is the third Ophidian-album. Previous albums featured sidesteps to other genres, but this time the conscious decision was made to stick to the pure, raw hardcore with which he made his name in the past decennium.

The album title refers to the place humans inhabit in the universe. Ophidian: "The candle is a tiny light, the star the largest we know. We exist somewhere in between." For this album he has teamed up with known acts like Ruffneck, Tapage and The Outside Agency, but also spent quality studio time with new collaborators like Tha Playah and Minckz. 

Also featured are remixes of his tracks by among others Rude Awakening and The Viper. He himself worked on remixes for DJ Promo, Angel and Miss Hysteria.  On the album, disc 1 features mainly the brand new songs and collabs, and disc 2 is a collection of the remixes and tracks recently released on other labels.

Silver .22 (The Name Of The Wolf)

This mix is a tribute to my love of early 2000’s Darkcore, combined with the drive of modern day Hard Techno.
In my mind this just sounded like a combination that would work. In practice, it was still quite a bit of work to get the completely different sounds aligned, but I think the end result was well worth the effort. Enjoy!

Hard Techno x Darkcore Mix

Theory Of Nothing

Theory of Nothing

"It's getting dark..."

If you've been waiting for Industrial Hardcore and Hard Techno to go dark again, then this is it.

Grinding, distorted kicks. Reverbing modular synths. Crushed percussion. Eerie atmospheres and haunted whispers. This sound will make you feel just the right kind of uncomfortable.

This is the first double-sided single from Blackbox: Kasamaan, the long-awaited new sequel to the Blackbox album from Ophidian.

The original Blackbox—released as five 7" vinyls—has earned cult status among fans, who’ve been asking for a sequel ever since. Now, the wait is over.

Mirroring the first album, Series 2 will unfold across five double releases, culminating in the full album on digital, 12" vinyl, and CD—complete with additional material.

Getting Dark

Hide and Seek

Manipulated and crushed audio feedback, noisy rhythms and big kicks.

Ophidian ft. EJ Grob & William F. DeVault - Nightfall Angel VIP [Preview]

Two creatures from the dark corners of folklore, summoned by distortion and feedback. Or are they summoning me? This place is not safe.

This is the third double-sided single from Blackbox: Kasamaan, the long-awaited new album from Ophidian.

Blackbox Series 2, Pt. 3

Tiyanak

Tikbalang

Part 4 of Blackbox Series 2 is here.
Balete Drive is an Industrial stomper with big kicks and drops, while Manananggal is one of the faster tracks of the series. This one has more of a linear build, whipping you up into a jungle fever infected trance.

Mirroring the first album, Series 2 will unfold across five double releases, culminating in the full album called "Blackbox: Kasamaan" on digital, 12" vinyl, and CD, complete with additional material.

Buy Blackbox: Kasamaan

Balete Drive

Manananggal

"The Stars" is the fastest song on the "Blackbox: Kasamaan" album and is the most evolving and melodic. Fans of the "Call of the Void" album will probably really get into this one.
