UPC 602547129314

Between II Worlds is the second studio album by the British electronic music group Nero. Like its predecessor Welcome Reality, the album is a concept album and was released on 11 September 2015 by Virgin EMI, MTA and Interscope Records.

Nero began the campaign for their second studio album in November 2013, announcing it by posting an ambient piece looped for a duration of 28:08 on their SoundCloud.

In February 2015, the band's record label, MTA Records, posted a picture of a tweet by Stuart Hawkes stating that he had just started mastering the new album by Nero. On 19 March 2015, Nero announced they had finished the album, and premiered its second single, "The Thrill".

On 10 April it was announced that the album would be called Between II Worlds and it would be released on 28 August 2015 (coinciding with their recurring use of the number '2808') but the release date was later delayed to 11 September. The album was made available to pre-order on the same day, with "Satisfy" and the title track offered as an instant download for those who pre-order a copy (thus being a promotional single.) The album features a reworked version of "Into the Past", from The Great Gatsby soundtrack.

Over the weekend of 24 May 2015, Nero launched the promotional single "Dark Skies" on Spotify. The only way to listen to the stream was to add the album Between II Worlds to one's playlist and the track would then reveal itself. Though the song has previously been played at many live events, it had not been released until this date.
