Ash Code - Synthome

SYNTHOME is not just an album, it’s the sound of a band surviving its own end.

After eight years since Perspektive LP, Ash Code were no longer the same, because the world wasn’t the same. They had danced through a digital void during the pandemic, playing for ghostly crowds on Gothicat Festivals streams, holding a fragile connection with an audience scattered and silenced. They had toured, created, collaborated with legends like Ellen Allien.

From the outside, things looked alive. But inside, something had already begun to die. 2024 was the breaking point. A sudden, devastating personal loss. A distance that turned emotional before it became physical. Long silences between people who once spoke through sound.

There was talk of stopping. There was no music left. Only a void. Six months of silence and then something unexpected. A new life, literally, arrived. And with it, a shockwave. The kind that reminds you you’re still breathing.From the rubble of what was, SYNTHOME emerged.

The Spoiled - Living Ghosts

The Spoiled is an Italian modern darkwave band based around the solo work of Giovanni Santolla, combining industrial-inspired metallic percussion, distorted synths, hazy guitars, and ethereal vocals drawing from darkwave and shoegaze influences.

Living Ghosts marks an important chapter in The Spoiled’s self-exploration, serving as a direct follow-up to its debut album, Parasite. It reflects a reconciliation with the eerie anguish that defined its predecessor. Each track tells the story of a “living ghost,” delving into themes of loss, guilt, and the longing for redemption through introspective lyrics and a razor-sharp sound.

Entirely produced, arranged, composed, and performed by Giovanni Santolla, The Spoiled’s sophomore album is a love letter to the gloomy, melancholic, yet gut-wrenching atmospheres of early Nine Inch Nails and later works of The Soft Moon, while also drawing inspiration from Killing Joke and Suicide.

Endeløs ‎- Dark Fields

Children of pandemic decadence, Endeløs translate provincial boredom with dark sounds inspired by the 80s dark wave powered with the post punk seminal attitude and the by the punk roots of his members.

Dark Fields is a trip around the decadence of this times, extremized by the pandemic crisis that showed the real face of this sick world. Madness, depression, fear of the future, but also a light that come from love with the last song that close the journey in a liberatory dance.
