Announcing VHT62: Un Sombrio Heredero from Efigie (Santiago, Chile). This is a side project of one of the members of Parasomnia, and we’re delighted to take you on another rare dungeon synth adventure through the gloom of ruined, overgrown cathedral colonnades. Follow the story of our gloomy protagonist as they descend into the depths of haunted crypts, confronting liches, zombies, and maybe even a wayward necromancer, at last laying claim to forgotten esoteric secrets.
Two years after the previous edition, here comes the third (and probably last) volume of our glamorous compilation cassette series. 10 bands from 8 countries from Europe and North America, with exclusive songs, previously unreleased tracks and songs that were released online/digital only, now it’s the first time in physical format. A great selection from the contemporary international minimal synth / darkwave / coldwave / wave body music community. We have exclusive songs from the Dutch Staatseinde and Greek Paradox Obscur, previously unreleased tracks from the Austrian/Turkish Zack Zack Zack, the German Delta Komplex and Oliver Decrow and the French Poison Point, as well as previously online only songs by the Hungarian Synthetic Destiny and Separated Lamb, the American More Ephemerol and the Canadian No. 40 minutes of electronic wave pleasures again.
Nearly five years after the release of ‘Sci-Fi Sky’, Lebanon Hanover has produced your favorite soundtrack for a visit in a psychiatry clinic: ‘Asylum Lullabies’. This is the evolution of an even colder, more caustic sound by a band that has dominated the Post Punk landscape for over a decade. ‘Asylum Lullabies’ is a very heavy album about dealing with mental health struggles, a breakup and ongoing wars and the current horror in the world ultimately leaving one consumed with dread, fear and a constant feeling of being crushed. Everything falls apart at the same time.
The long awaited new album from Cawatana is finally released. Almost exactly 4 years after the previous album, Victory Of Regret, which contained 8 reworked songs from the band’s history, here are another 8 reworked tracks on the new album Beyond The Glory. This year there is the 25th anniversary of the first Cawatana EP, the 15th anniversary of the “returning” mini album Advocation For Privileges, the 10th anniversary of the EP/mini album Decline Of Privileges, and 5th anniversary of the first concert with the new setup. The new album is dedicated to all these events; it includes songs from all the three mentioned releases in new versions, with the same setup/equipment that was used on the concert. Musically it goes in the same direction as the previous album: analog minimal electronics with darkwave/coldwave/minimal wave influences, this time without acoustic guitars, just analog synths and drum machines (and vocals with vocoder).
SOFT VEIN releases FROM ANOTHER ROOM (EP), a six-track collection serving as an epilogue to the THROUGH BLINDS album cycle. The EP features two distinct perspectives on the band’s music. The first half presents three remixes. Twin Tribes offers their ethereal darkwave sensibility, while Qual contributes stark industrial energy with additional, blazing vocals. Chaos International rounds out this section with a more experimental synthpop approach to SOFT VEIN’s sound. The latter half of the EP sees SOFT VEIN interpreting three notable tracks from the new wave and synth-pop eras. They lend their melancholic style to songs by Eurythmics, The Human League, and The Blue Nile, offering fresh perspectives on these familiar tracks. FROM ANOTHER ROOM (EP) expands on SOFT VEIN’s artistic scope, providing both compelling reinterpretations and sincere homages. |
