Torn from Black Space is Buckethead's sixth album under the anagram Death Cube K, released on October 15, 2009 through Rare Noise Records.^[1]

History

The first news about the album came from an interview with drum & bass producer Submerged:

“

"Torn from Black Space" by Death Cube K: "I always liked the project Bill Laswell and Buckethead and his band did called Death Cube K, which is an anagram of Buckethead. I told Bill when I was younger I used to listen to a Death Cube K album called Dreamatorium as I was going to sleep and it would give me the most beautiful nightmares. The last record they did was maybe 7 or 8 years ago. Bill remembers when you tell him things and I wound up on the new Death Cube K record doing strange turntable manipulations, like slowing them down with my hands, using effects and just creating ambience. It sounds like this vivid nightmare, staring into the void sort of thing, but it's sparse, not heavy, a lot of air and space. We were inspired by a lot of Sunn O))), four guys playing guitar riffs at about 5 beats per minute, and some of the new drift or drone projects happening."^[2]

”

Since then, fans have often confused the enigmatic DCK (released as a CD-R in a black digipak) with the delayed Torn from Black Space.

In October 2008, a Bill Laswell fan site talked about the release of a new label called "RareNoise Ltd." from Eraldo Bernocchi. Bernocchi has stated that amongst the planned releases will be Torn from Black Space:

“

Eraldo Bernocchi's new label should start in full swing in 2009. Amongst the projects being released will be a live Method of Defiance album, Death Cube K's Torn From Black Space (which contrary to popular belief is NOT the CD-R that TDRS released), a new Charged album and another live Somma gig.^[3]

”

In May 2009, the label's website went online, showing previews of some of its artists and including Death Cube K's track "Watchers".^[4] This is also included on an official promo disc of the label, besides another song called "Path of the Dead".

On June 23, 2009, samples of all the songs were added to the label's website.^[5]
