WL//WH Weekly Post-Punk / Darkwave / Dark Synth Tips

• Finnish dark electronic/synth-punk project of Jacques Saph (Wild Roses Of Winter, Virgin in Veil, Masquerade), aka Carnal Machinery “Twilight Zone” new single
  

Helsinki one-man-band mixes fierce punk attitude, vigorously pummeled, dance-inducing rhythmic propulsion along stabbing glowing synth danger to fuel desperate falling vocals’ disruptive release of alienating dystopian disillusionment.

Dark and cold 80s-tinged, electronic DIY project by Donny Woestenborghs (front-man of hardcore punk outfit Midnight Souls) greets the new year with an intense injection of bleak and foreboding, droning moods unleashed by hypnotizing mechanical rhythms, throbbing bassline and blazing swirling synth stabs, while his magnetic vocals dance on and kiss the grave of an agonizing distorted society.

• Russian post-punk one-man-band BLAZH – “Ты прости / Sorry” new single                                                 

New noisy and emotional-ridden post-punk one-man-band from Russia whose new single unravels urgent rhythms and tightly pulsing bassline, smeared by icily crystallized shards of guitar, and cut through by abrasive riff menace, to wave a piercing sense of lingering doom around dramatic vocals, shifting from whispers of shame to an angry release of pain, sarcastically begging for forgiveness.
