Innocent Darkness – “The Dark Fungus”

Innocent Darkness from Belgium put out “The Dark Fungus” on April 11, 2026, and it completely nails a dark, eerie vibe. The art on the cover catches your eye right away, featuring a cloaked figure standing in a moody, mist-filled forest behind glowing purple mushrooms growing off a log.

This project mixes Witch house and Drone Wave into four distinct tracks: “The Infected’s Trance” at 03:20, “The Mycelial Call” at 03:20, “The Last Rave (of the Living)” at 03:09, and “Spores of War” at 03:20. “The Mycelial Call” is definitely a personal favorite out of the bunch. The whole release builds a heavy, underground electronic world that feels completely distinct from standard club tracks.

Knowing this was recorded entirely at home with hardware gear like the Yamaha Seqtrak, Novation Circuit Tracks, and Roland MC-707 gives it a really cool, hands-on energy. You can tell it was built purely out of a passion for experimenting with sound rather than trying to fit into a commercial mold. The tracks carry a shadowy, hypnotic style that keeps you locked in from start to finish without getting stale and the raw edge from the hardware setup brings a physical quality to the listening experience that works so well for this type of underground music. Every track fits together logically, making the entire run time feel cohesive and deeply engaging. It gives off a sense of genuine freedom in the creative process, where making something strange and dark was the only real goal. That unpolished, authentic grit is exactly what makes this whole collection stand out so strongly.

If you dig underground electronic music that dares to be a bit dark and experimental, definitely check out the artist’s previous releases. Be sure to follow Innocent Darkness to stay updated about new releases for the rest of this year!
