The Dark Side is Gregorian's sixth album, released between Masters of Chant Chapter IV and Masters of Chant Chapter V. Technically, it was followed by The Masterpieces, however, The Masterpieces is only a collection of previously released songs.

In some areas, the limited edition of The Dark Side was released as Masters of Chant Chapter V leading to some confusion when that title was used for the subsequent album.
