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

• Swedish post-punk /darkwave /synth electronic duo from Sundsvall, RED MECCA “The Longest Hour” single   

Swedish synth-pop duo is back with a new single that plunges into a soul-stirring synth-pop able, with refined elegance, to amalgamate reflective melancholic melodies, lush nostalgia and at the same time dancefloor leanings, rambling as close to neon light as to a romantic cinematic haze. Driven by steady lashing beats and undulating somber basslines, icy bright synth swells, along with hollow twinkling pads, waxing and waning, around soft, lost emotional vocals into a whirl of ethereal and subtly restless trance-like emotive moods.

• South Carolina goth /darkwave /post-punk solo project of multi-instrumentalist Bruce Nullify, aka ORCUS NULLIFY “No Justice” single                                                                                                                             

To celebrate World Gothic Day one-man band from South Carolina draws sinister Goth-Post-Punk apocalyptic tones that ring and clatter around droning menacing bass vibrations, harrowing and wiry effect-laden guitar melodies squealing with obsessive intensity, and scattered rumbling percussion, to invoke dark, ancient demonic energy around dramatic emotional cries rising and falling with desperate echoes to deliver a beautiful poetic metaphor infused with biblical and modern dystopic imagery, left wafting in the haunted, suffering oppression of broken and unattainable dreams.
