The Darkness (Twiztid album)

In early/mid 2014 Twiztid released a promo video, and it was said that Twiztid's next album would be called The Darkness. Twiztid was asked if the album would have any features and Monoxide had said "No. This is just me and Jamie from start to finish, no features". It was in contrast to the duo's previous release A New Nightmare in 2013, which had a large array of guest features.

Twiztid stated in a later 2014 interview that they would release short promo videos from December 2014 until January 2015 to help promotion for the album. They said that some of the videos they are in, and some of them they aren't. On November 26, 2014, Twiztid released the album cover art, and the track list for The Darkness. Two of the three bonus tracks ("Breakdown" and "Mind Goes Mad") were featured on their Get Twiztid EP (which was previously released on April 15, 2014, and on the Bootleg Banner Tour with Blaze Ya Dead Homie), albeit slightly edited in length. The third bonus track "A Place in the Woods" was previously released as a limited edition VIP single, with a slightly different mix.{{Cite web|url=https://theboombox.com/twiztid-the-darkness-album-cover/|title=Twiztid Debut 'The Darkness' Album Cover|date=November 26, 2014|website=The Boombox|language=en|access-date=May 13, 2019}}
