Due to ongoing health issues, Michael Barnett \u2013 the original founder and editor of This is Darkness \u2013 has unfortunately had to take a step away from regular contributions to the site.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping that Michael\u2019s health will recover and allow him to return as an active contributor again at some point in the future, but in the meantime I will continue his good work.<\/p>\n

As part of this formal change in our Editorial Staffing, we have a new email address which should be used going forward to contact us or to submit albums for review: thisisdarkness01@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Stay dark!<\/p>\n
