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.
Violet Hour Transmissions is deeply honored to present VHT18: “A Sad Thought Made Dance” by Attic Frost (Bremen, Germany). ❄️ ⚔️ The album opens with somber, reverb-drenched bass and guitar whose melancholia is subtly reinforced by thoughtful electronic drum beats. These opening notes mutate into a wall of cold sound that teleports me to another time: tastes of New Order, a dash of Clan of Xymox, a hefty helping of The Cure. When the musical river calms and settles expansively between its banks, it is joined by the vocal tributary; deep, powerful, and as reverb-soaked as the rest. It is hard to put my finger on exactly what Attic Frost reminds me of, but it is an effective combination of elements that is very much coldwave executed flawlessly. |
