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

• Los Angeles, CA dark electro /darkwave /post-punk trio Chalice Sect “Silent Fever” single from the forthcoming EP.
  

An unconditional plunge into electro-injected darkwave rife with adrenaline and danger, fueled by a rumbling clatter embedded in a racing barrage of hard-hitting beats amplified by droning undulating low ends and sparkling venomous guitar stabs, topped with flashing, sharp epic synth drama, swirling higher with harsh hammering forces to encircle urgent, fearless male spoken words with relentless terror.

• Richmond, VA-based Shoegaze /Post-Punk /Darkwave one-man project created by musician Tyler Gorham, aka Industrial Waist “My Muse Is Dead” single
  

Good single for the Richmond-based DIY solo project with his brand of monochromatic, and plaintive dark post-punk bouncing on lively rhythms and driving thick and resonant, gloomy bass riffs pulsing relentlessly into a hallucinated guitar haze, layered with desolate synth motifs, to embrace distressed, ghostly vocals, lost in a cold chasm of longing, adoration, and resentment after the death of a muse. Soon available on all digital platforms.

• Athens, Greece-based acid /EBM /dark disco /coldwave /dark synthwave analog producer Kay-Chi “Darkest Night (feat. RINA PAVAR)” 3rd single from “Night Protocol” EP [Cold Transmission Music]

The dynamic Greek producer, simultaneously with a club-ready EP with Sharlese, teams up with the magnetic German chanteuse for a mysterious shadowy journey into a swirling labyrinthine course led by a hypnotically sequenced groove, cut through by a clapping and lashing drum programming, flickers with simmering tension alongside squelchy acid lines, to surround Rina Pavar‘s urgent breathy sensualness with busy magical transformations, “I want to change in darkest night.”
