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

• Los Angeles-based EBM /industrial /dark synth wave duo FUEDAL “Seam Grip” first single off the upcoming second EP “Max Continuous Power” [à La Carte Records]

LA duo’s first gripping EP foretaste constructs healthy catharctic percussive clangor through a crackling and clanking scattered floor of snappy drum patterns work incessantly with gritty whirring low-end undulations bouncing under jagged stabs of ominously edgy droning riffs intertwining seamlessly with hollow and jolting obsessive rolls of thumping kicks, while urgent, grim yet ecstatic vocals cast off depth-defying distorted echoes, to wake up the memory of truth by facing the lies inside.

• London-based darkwave solo project BLOOD.TWIN “Was It A Dream?” single
  

London-based newcomer with a disturbing yet epic take on modern Goth infused Darkwave about falling into a void and willfully becoming a vampire, punctuated by the cold but forceful tight tempo of a drum machine, throbbing, rumbling basslines, blasts of guitar riffs and juddering layers of emphatic, glittering synths, rising alongside haunted baritone broods that waver into pain-filled cries of desperation, whilst searching for consciousness and meaning.

• Detroit, MI Dark Post-Punk band ENTRIES “Living For Today” single
  

’80s-inspired Michigan‘s Post-punk trio’s new single triggers a relentless tight clattering drums and obsessive, hypnotic throbbing bass lines, enveloped in a prickly quivering and wandering web of ringing guitars and muted synth glows, tinkling insistently over dreamy yet intense baritone vocals, whispering gloom and hope into a vital struggle to reclaim life.
