Dark Matters is the second disc of Z2, the 2014 two-disc studio album by Devin Townsend, and is sequel to the 2007 album Ziltoid the Omniscient.The album is a concept album about an extraterrestrial being named Ziltoid, who has infiltrated Earth society, pretending to be a beloved rock star in a costume, until he is outed as an alien. Meanwhile, a poozer from the planet Titan in Ziltoid's custody escapes and returns home, attracting the attention of Queen Blataria the War Princess. Now the forces of Titan are gearing to invade Earth and Ziltoid must join with the humans in protecting it and its supply of coffee. | |

You Can't Thwart Stage One: Or stage two, for that matter. Stage three of Queen Blattaria's plan is so horrible, we never find out what, exactly, it even is. Fortunately the Planet Smasher puts a stop to it. | |

Evil Matriarch | |
| Dark Matters (Music) / int_81ae2774 | comment |
Evil Matriarch: Despite whatever she says, the War Princess clearly doesn't care about her poozer children. In-fact the narrator says that she is outright revolted by them. That said, she noticed when one of them happened to be missing (the one being held captive by Ziltoid). Considering that there's apparently millions of them, Blataria noticing the absence of just one is pretty impressive. | |

World of Ham | |
| Dark Matters (Music) / int_86ee8070 | comment |
World of Ham: Unlike the last album, this one has a much more campy, tongue in cheek feeling to it, making it seem more like a cheesy 50s sci-fi movie. Aside from Ziltoid himself we now have Captain Spectacular (unsurprising considering he's voiced by Chris Jericho), Blataria the war princess and even the narrator. | |

Spoken Word in Music | |
| Dark Matters (Music) / int_8c00118f | comment |
Spoken Word in Music: A lot of the songs are dominated by dialogue/narration, with "Ziltoid Goes Home" being the only aversion (though "Deathray", "March of the Poozers", and "Dimension Z" have their spoken parts tagged at their ends). "Through the Wormhole" was omitted from the "raw" version of the album due to it consisting almost solely of dialogue. | |

Ascended Extra: Captain Spectacular, on the original Ziltoid album, had two songs dedicated to him piloting the surviving humans to safety on another planet while briefly pursued by Ziltoid and his crew, and then then he disappeared for the rest of the story. Captain Spectacular has a much bigger role here. | |

Lighter and Softer: It's precursor is much more abrasive in production and overall atmosphere, though this album still has its fair share of heavy moments. Story-wise, it counts as well. On the original Ziltoid album, Ziltoid destroys the world relatively early, whereas this story ends with the world being saved. The album also plays up the Camp that was present on the original album. | |

Limited Lyrics Song: Zig-zagged with half the songs - "Z2", "From Sleep Awake", "Ziltoidian Empire", "Wandering Eye", and "Earth" - as most of them are very dialogue/narration heavy, but the "raw" version of the album shows that they only have a handful of lyrics without the spoken parts. | |
