Jonathan Starling is a very unlucky and shy teen. He doesn’t really have a social life and lives by himself due to his dad’s strange illness. Or, at least that was his happy life in “Lightside”. He had nearly been kidnapped by a bounty hunter and taken to the very mysterious place known as Darkside. Since he has been attacked by a werewolf, been close to being stabbed with a knife and swam in the “pool of pain”. Meanwhile back in Lightside, Detectives are trying to put the puzzle pieces together and find the kidnapper of Jonathan. Also, Ricky Thomas has been taken there and has been demanded to fight Jackyl's. Just what is the real reason that they are in Darkside? Grimshaw and Vendetta may have something to say about that. But is it that obvious?
Darkside (often stylized as DARKSIDE) is the collaboration of electronic musician Nicolas Jaar and Brooklyn multi-instrumentalist Dave Harrington.
Jaar and Harrington first met while they were both students at Brown University. Harrington was recommended to Jaar by frequent collaborator Will Epstein when he was looking for a third musician for his live band, with the three subsequently touring together to support Jaar's 2011 album Space Is Only Noise. Darkside first formed during a Berlin stop on this tour. Jaar and Harrington were writing in their hotel room together when their converter plug popped, filling their room with smoke and forcing them to finish the song in the hallway on a laptop. Upon returning to New York, they continued to write together, developing their sound in their Brooklyn studio.
Their first release as Darkside, the three-song Darkside EP, was released on November 17, 2011 via Clown & Sunset. It was well received critically, receiving positive reviews from several publications including The Fader and Resident Advisor, as well as an 8.0 from Pitchfork. Jaar has described the project as blues-oriented and more guitar influenced than his previous work, stating in an interview with i-D magazine that Darkside is "the closest thing to rock & roll I've ever done."Stereogum has described the duo's sound as "dubbed-out jazzbo junkyard fuzz."
Satan take my soul!
Darkness spreads around me
Black is all I see
Awaiting the final silence
To which I'll bound forever be
A will to fall deeper within
My dark subconscious tells me so
I'm longing for eternity
In his nocturnal domain
I call upon the dark Lord
His glowing eyes will show me the way
Lead me through the gates of Hell
Far beyond all weaker life
His evil words are possessing me
Forcing me to release my blood
I feel my life slowly fading
Soon I'll be with you
From the visions of my dreams
Rise the demons from below
I vanish into afterlife
Where the damned will cleanse my soul
Embraced by darkness
The burning kingdom welcomes me
I hear it whisper my name
From the darker side
Darkside - heal me
Darkside - heal me
When entering the darkside
There is no return
The horned master we obey
In the fire where we burn
Darkside - heal me
Darkside - heal me
Down the depths of Hell
By the throne of blasphemy
I lust for the unholy flame
I'm one with the dark eternally
On the darkside I am healed
By the flowing river of blood
Now I belong to the evil below
