Description
DARKNESS ON DEMAND returns with their 4th studio album, “Panic In Reserve”, delivering another electrifying chapter in their dystopian saga. Once again, the German dark elektro pioneers transport us to a desolate, post-apocalyptic future – where humanity has transformed Earth from a paradise into a barren wasteland. Lobotomized wanderers drift through life, fed only by hypnotic distractions and endless streams of disinformation.
Just when this bleak existence seems to have no escape, a sudden alien invasion upends the dull monotony. Is it the end of the world, or the second coming? The line between salvation and destruction blurs in a haze of chaos and confusion.
Wagner and Falgalas, the minds behind this sonic assault, aren’t afraid to confront the harsh realities of politics, religion, and society. Their razor-sharp critiques resonate through every track, reminding us how disturbingly close their dystopian universe is to the one we see on TV every day. In a world gone mad, the question becomes: what will you have left in reserve besides panic?
As former members of the iconic ’80s act DANE OR DIE, the Berlin band continues to thrive under the DARKNESS ON DEMAND banner. Since 2017, they’ve expertly fused moody, melodic electronics with aggressive EBM industrial beats, balancing noir-like atmosphere with relentless, dancefloor-ready energy. “Panic In Reserve” is a masterclass in blending styles: dark wave melancholy meets high-octane industrial power, all in perfect sync.
Prepare yourself for an alien invasion, a sonic apocalypse, and the unmistakable sound of DARKNESS IN DEMAND.
