Dark Passages Vol. II is the second curated compilation by Lee Dorrian and Rise Above Records. Released in 1996, this compilation features doom, stoner and sludge bands spanning from the 1980s to the present, five of the tracks exclusive to the compilation at the time and four of the bands signed to Rise Above at time of release. Unlike the previous Dark Passages, the second edition was only issued on CD and is long out-of-print.
Dark Passages Vol. II was the 12th release on Rise Above Records and in an intentional move to save the 13th catalog spot for RISE 13 - Magick Rock Vol. 1 in 1999 the next catalog number was skipped to 14 for the next release a few months later in Come My Fanatics... by Electric Wizard.
