"It's deathpop, baby" has been The Blackscreen's motto since it was founded four years ago. "The Space Between Us" is the third album of the Indierocker from Nuremberg, who recently toured in Eastern Europe and played on stages in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Riga, Tallinn and Poznan. This experience has paid off in several ways: Compared to the 2012 EP "The Ghosts That Haunt Us", the quad has developed significantly. It is now possible to recognize a clear handwriting of one's own. The throughout melodic pieces have increased in force and depth thanks to the heavy malochenden rhythm fraction. The imaginative, shimmering guitar riffs, the driving rhythms, the sometimes breathless, sometimes talking, sometimes angry vocals have a high recognition value. In addition, with Kurt Ebelshäuser from Blackmail a scene guru could be won as a producer. Thus nine songs were created, which are not only suitable for the next gigs, but which can also be heard on CD throughout. No matter if you call them Deathpop or just Indierock.
