(0) is a Danish band that breaks down the boundaries between black, progressive, drone, and post-metal, completing its unique sound with Danish lyrics and growl vocals. All of this comes to life when (0)  in a dark sphere fuses intense, raw sound with a massive use of lighting and impressive visual elements to create a spectacle of a live performance. After a four-year release hiatus, (0) is now back with its second full-length album, KNÆK.MØRKE.MOD.LYS (Danish for BREAK.DARKNESS.AGAINST.LIGHT), adding further dimensions to the enigmatic band’s artistic work.

KNÆK.MØRKE.MOD.LYS features nine compositions, recorded with producer Lasse Ballade (Konvent, Solbrud, Strychnos, etc.) over three weeks in the summer of 2023. As is characteristic of (0)’s sound, the album features an organic, analog feel that comes across as vibrant and alive in all its raw, untamed performance.

Melancholy is the feeling that permeates (0)’s sound and lyrics, and also the new album. The lyrics focus on the darker aspects of life, such as grief, depression, guilt and shame, frustration, and anger. The themes operate both on a deeply personal level and on a broader scale, with the title track addressing climate change and the frustration that comes with it. But light always plays a role for (0), and light becomes more evident when one has first been enveloped in darkness
