The True Faith Announce New LP 'Go to Ground', Stream "Minimal Change"

Boston coldwave/post punk/darkwave band True Faith have announced the release of their second studio album 'Go to Ground'.

The follow-up to their 2021's debut LP 'They Can Always Hurt You More', was produced by Ryan Santos Phillips and the band and will be out on January 20th through A La Carte Records. Pre-order your copy here.

Sapeking about the record and their new single, the band's Travis Benson says: “‘Minimal Change’ is the first single from our sophomore album, titled Go to Ground. We tapped Ryan Santos Phillips (Spirits of Leo – Lux Perpetua NYC studios in Brooklyn, NY) to produce and engineer a new album after we played a show together in Brooklyn. I was captivated by his abilities with respect to his work with Spirits of Leo and felt that he had both the vision and know-how to help us create an album that serves as a testament to our development as a group. For us, They Can Always Hurt You More documents the band at a point where we are eager and still trying to find our footing in the subcultural microcosm. Having some time to sit on the first album and reflecting on what resonated the most with us, we began writing another album with a greater sense of purpose for our sound.

“We chose this song as the first single because we felt it serves as the best bridge between our first album and our new songs. I think it showcases our growth as musicians and songwriters and takes things beyond the familiarity of the recent wave of post-punk artists. Writing the song, and the album for that matter, I found greater influence in artists like The Pixies, Comsat Angels, and Big Country while still attempting to stay rooted in the sound crafted by artists like The Chameleons, The Sound, and Lowlife.

“Lyrically, ‘Minimal Change’ came at a time where we were all going through some major life changes. We are all transitioning into new points in our lives and the new roles and expectations that come with them. Often, these new expectations of us are at odds with what we truly want or believe in. So this song was an attempt at reconciling these changes in our lives, even when they go against what our expectations were.”

Buzz Kull Releases "Rise From Your Grave" Music Video

Sydney darkwave/synth pop producer Buzz Kull (AKA Marc Dwyer) has released the video for his newest single "Rise From Your Grave".

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from his forthcoming new album 'Fascination', set to arrive on November 25 through Avant! (EU). Pre-order your copy here.

"Rise From Your Grave", a phrase gleaned from the 1998 SEGA game, Altered Beast, is a throbbing, thoroughly danceable song underpinned by a sepulchral fog.

Directed by Joel Burrows, the video was filmed through layers of glass and broken television sets — spliced with macro shots of entwined, serpentine cables - It’s almost a metaphor of an audio death, a funeral pyre. Marc’s body is filmed so many times that it becomes destroyed and turned into ghost-like images.

Buzz Kull Announces New LP 'Fascination', Airs "Rise From Your Grave"

Sydney darkwave/synth pop producer Buzz Kull (AKA Marc Dwyer) has announced the release of his new studio album 'Fascination'.

The follow-up to 2018's  New Kind Of Cross, will be out on November 25 through Avant! (EU). Pre-order your copy here.

The Australian master of the dark synth arts is back and - boy - he is out for blood. We've been missing Marc Dwyer solo project Buzz Kull since his latest single Last In The Club from late 2019 and since back then we knew he was up to something.

At first glimpse, the minimal wave early days seem far away now that Marc has gone full Body Music with his upcoming new album, but there is a thread that binds Buzz Kull hits from the past with these ten new cuts: a thread of darkness proper to the most handsome man in the game and that’s here to stay.

First single "Rise From Your Grave", a phrase gleaned from the 1998 SEGA game, Altered Beast, is a throbbing, thoroughly danceable song underpinned by a sepulchral fog.

Echoes of 90’s era Front 242 and Front Line Assembly will resonate from tracks like Fascination and Dead Inside; elements of early body music flirting with the dark side of British synthpop will rave from the grooves of Dancing with Machines and Man on the Beat, while late 80’s Belgian new beat cellar-like vibes rise from Do You See and Burn it to the Ground.

But Buzz Kull's third full-length is not just about music subgenres we all know and love, it’s about a feeling that comes alive only with the dark and drives you through the small hours just to leave you drained and filled at once.

The creature of the night is on the loose, the sticky dancefloor its natural habitat, its lust for the upside-down world of the club can't be cured.

Check out the album's tracklist and listen to "Rise From Your Grave" below.

Fascination Tracklisting:

1. Rise From Your Grave

2. Do You See

3. Last In The Club

4.  Man On The Beat

5. Beyond The Ceiling

6. Fascination

7. Dead Inside

8. Dancing With Machines

9. Burn It To The Ground

10. Heaven Will Find Me

NIGHT TERRORS Airs New Single/Video "The Red Room"

German darkwave/post punk/synthwave artist NIGHT TERRORS has aired the video for his new single "The Red Room".

The song is taken from his upcoming EP 'Death Pop From The Black Lodge', set to be released on August 26 through isolation Records. Pre-order your copy here.

With Death Pop from The Black Lodge, Night Terrors opens the gates that conceal the irreversible void: a world of sadness, a place without hope. Revealing the harsh truth that some stories end well while others do not, Night Terrors pleads to face the inevitable: All will end eventually.

Influenced by Grave Wave and Synth Pop contemporaries, Death Pop from The Black Lodge bears a complex structure of penetrating drums and gut-wrenching bass lines. Matched to create a foundation for multiple layers of gloomy synths, Night Terrors does not shy away from delivering a melodic, at times even morbidly playful, contrast. Enticing the listener further into the void, a distinctive, cold and merciless voice unleashes lyrics that put a finger into the endlessly suppurating wound that is blind optimism.

For fans of Cold Cave, Kontravoid, The Soft Moon and Boy Harsher.

The nine-track record was composed, produced & mixed by Poison Pints and will be out on September 2. Pre-order your copy here.

Poison Points words:  This is kind of a special one for me as I’m going back to work alone on this project. As many things happened music wise on the road from the creation of Poison Point, from Post-Punk / minimal wave to Ebm and technoish vibes this one is I guess deeply close to all my influences and very personal as you might noticed if you pay attention to the lyrics or just read it as I’ll share every words for once.

Apart from the emotional talk, I’ve decided to do it as a very limited box set of screen printed items.

First reason, the vinyl situation with the pressing plant is going crazy regarding money and delay, so I’ve chosen to do something way more personal and unique.
