Happy release day to SILVER TEARS for their much anticipated debut album drops today!

The new joint venture by Curses and Skelesys has been working hard for the past two years and here are eight new cuts rich with deep bass lines, crystal clear guitars and baritone vocals over captivating mechanical drums, capable of proving how dark/goth music can still be relevant some many years after it first bursted out.

The sophomore album by CRUSH OF SOULS Lézire has been out for two months and your feedback so far has exceeded our expectations.

To thank you for your passion Charles Rowell and his goth gang are offering a new official video for one of our fav tracks from the album.
The Pure Weapon is a spontaneous congregation over some old school Body Music beats, where angelical whispers, lush sax notes and eros charged lyrics are unravelled.
The providential clip by Joshua J. Hourigan and styled by hard rocking Ronald Pineau is up now at In Depth Music channel and it visually delivers all the vibes above.

Third and final single from SILVER TEARS upcoming debut album.

After two masterful examples of lush coldwave, No Retribution shows the most intimate side of the duo formed by Curses and Skelesys. Slow, cadenced electronic beats sustain winding bass lines and saturated guitars recalling 90's shoegaze/alternative rock or even some moody grunge.

Official video is up now at our YouTube (subscribe!) - https://youtu.be/hF6vwu0fqdE?si=TaEbS...

Eight years ago exactly, in April 2017, the Australian soon-to-be dark synth maestro BUZZ KULL released his first full-length album Chroma.

The seminal album is a mass of jagged synth lines and pounding drum machines, a testament to Marc Dwyer's personal sonic exploration over time. Each song on Chroma transcends the traditional archetype of darkwave by pushing pop sensibilities, focusing on different emotional states and boundaries.

With this dark gem being out of print for years now, it was time to bring it back to life!
Also we are repressing second and third album New Kind Of Cross and Fascination on color vinyl LP and CD again.
These all ship on or around May the 30, 2025. found.ee/6YDP99

Second single from the premier company of Curses and Skelesys here known as SILVER TEARS.

Enchanting guitar arpeggios loop over seductive mechanical beats and bass lines, while personal and intimate lyrics get crooned by Luca Venezia baritone vocals.
There is one addictive element to the music these two gents are capable of creating. Something that gets you hooked and makes you return to listen over and over again. It's some kind of magic?
Probably it's just because they are great at what they do.

CRUSH OF SOULS sophomore album Lézire is out for two weeks now and your feedback has been super good!

To thank you for your support we're releasing one more official video. 'Touch From A Heartbeat' has one early EBM beat and glowing synths that somehow connect mid 80's Depeche Mode and Death In June, while still delivering a personal vibe typical of the musical endeavour of Charles Rowell 🔮

SPLEEN Demos collection LP is here!

Featuring members of Béton Armé, Puffer and Conifère, this Montreal supergroup has been developing a unique sound not easily categorizable.
Clearly inspired by French bands like Camera Silens and La Souris Déglinguée, but also taking on influences from psych garage rock , they fill the missing link between neo-psychedelia and real punk - as crazy as it may sound.

Oi! It's a Space Oddity 🕸️🚀 https://youtu.be/7Fkl1ehrDUM?si=JeNFA...
