Peaks Of The Week:

Russian experimental/coldwave/post-punk band from Ufa, TRIØXIN ''Холод Идет'' new single

Favorite Russian band from the foothills of the Ural mountains, TRIØXIN, actually fully lead by Grigory Kornilayev, the other co-founder Ilya Tikhonov debuted early in the year with his new project Vorsicht Vorsicht , is back, after a long hiatus, retaining their distictive profound and dark surf guitar tones that will twang your eardrums with a reverb-drenched tidal wave of dangerously addictive and supremely intriguing post-punk goodness. An impressive return and preview from the forthcoming new album.

Asheville, NC based, Swedish electronic/coldwave/darkwave artist (aka Bloody Hammers), ANDERS MANGA "Breathless" from the upcoming new album.

Sweden-born artist unleashes a thundering and anthemic dance-inducing darkwave epic brimming with bone-chilling brooding dark intensity.

Fort Worth, TX coldwave/darkwave/post-punk outfit Three Rose Charm "Ode à Hier" from new EP "Austral Rites"

Elusive Texan band's debut EP, channelling Siouxsie, early Altered Images and 4AD, is stacked with thick gurgling bass line, tight tribal drumming, blistering reverbed chiming guitar melodies, deeply haunting and harrowing vocals, that beautifully come together in a beautiful dark and dramatic whirlwind of thrillingly menacing albeit spellbinding brilliance.
