Darker/Cut is a compilation album by C-Tec, released on 5 September 2018 by Armalyte Industries.

Reception

Flux awarded Darker/Cut a nine out of ten and said "every track has a story and a meaning, and we have no fillers or dull moments" and that the album represents "an important page in the history of electronic music, showing different facets and graced by great artists." Regen said Darker "has De Meyer's vocals, which are a hallmark of '80s era industrial, as well as Heal's own chainsaw of a voice, and blasts of heavily processed guitars" and "felt more experimental than the next album, Cut, which seems to shift musical styles more, as well as a greater employment of empty space throughout the album."

All lyrics are written by Jean-Luc de Meyer, except "Epitaph" written by Dorothy Parker.
