The Darkness Forever is the second cover album by Collide, released on July 16, 2024, by Noiseplus Music.
Reception
A Model of Control reviewed The Darkness Forever positively, impressed by the successful cover of Björk, and noting that all of the tracks were respectful of the source material. Regen Magazine compared the album to Collide's previous cover album These Eyes Before, stating that they "[manage] to create a fuller experience" of each track they cover. They found the Muse and Peter Gabriel covers jarring, though. Regen Magazine also praised the music, indicating the instrumental version of the album can be enjoyed on its own. Buzzslayers were impressed with how tracks from "different decades [and] genres" were made to sound as a cohesive album. They also singled out kaRIN's vocal work on the Björk cover for managing to assume the character from the original.
