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

• Vienna‘s Gothic Rock/Post Punk band WHISPERS IN THE SHADOW “Sacred Fear” single from the forthcoming 11th album “Ghosts” on Solar Lodge Records
  

The first harbinger of the upcoming eleventh LP from Vienna‘s veteran Gothic Rockers compels doomy, leaden and rippling realms raised by stumbling drum beats, heavy throbbing bass lines, and bleeding, grinding guitar riffs, topped by eerie keyboard blankets, to haunt moody impassioned vocals, dropping anger and frustration about hypocrisy into a thundering dudgeon of disenchanted forces.

• Mexico synth-wave /darkwave project led by Iván Zamudio, aka Abadía – “Redención (Revival version)” from the EP “Ritual”
  

Mexican act triggers a 4-track Synth Wave ‘Ritual’ of  ‘seduction oscura’ with an unmistakable decadent Latino flair, amidst soaring and ricocheting haunting icy bright synth grooves and driving, bouncy and murky mechanical rhythmic energy, enriched with evocative forlorn vocals. Very intriguing the ‘revival’ version of “Redención” with beautiful obsessive prickling and wandering guitar melodies weaving resonant painful memories into stirring, swarming mists from an urgent, tight rhythm section, whilst aching heartfelt breathless vocal longing sheds past trauma into a bleeding river of toxic doom.

• German techno /coldwave /dark wave /synth-pop solo project based in Leipzig, нат.аша “liebeskreis” title track of the upcoming album “Liebeskreis”
  

Dark´n wavy solo project from Leipzig teases for the upcoming full-length with a dark, restless and romantic slow-mo lullaby, buzzing and glittering in hypnotic fluttering synth spirals of boundless desperate melancholy, grabbed by deep dramatic lovelorn vocals, aching and longing for the pain to end.
