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

• Turkish Goth Rock/Post Punk band featuring members of Ugly Shadows and Tatlin Effect, OSCURIDAD ETERNA “1969” from debut “Macabre” (Demo) EP
  

Excellent emotional and energetic first demo EP for the Turkish band, comprised of murky, morose and desperately urgent 4 tracks replete with mechanical rhythms, abrasively meandering basslines, blistering reverb-laden guitar melodies over low monochromatic vocals to build fiercely bleak soundscapes reminiscent of Sisters of Mercy’s all-encompassing tragic melancholia.

• UK dark electro act (Athamay Side Project), Torturetekk – “Luna” 3rd single from the forthcoming “Nightfall” album
  

Another sparkling high energy dance number from the UK act Torturetekk, ignites with hard lashing rhythms, rumbling bassline and urgent, sharp synth melodies, as soaring yet helpless female vocals rise and fall in desperate breathless intensity, dwell in Dark Electro perfection.

• Italo/French new wave/darkwave/post-punk/synthpop duo of producer/musician and songwriter Adriano S. Iacoangeli and singer Cecilia Dassonneville, Echoberyl – “A Prey” from the upcoming album “The Awakening of a Mutant Girl” on Cold Transmission Music
  

First preview for the Italo-French duet Echoberyl with an Elli et Jacno akin electro-pop tune, ruffled by subtle undercurrents of isolation, fear, and disassociation, that haunt resounding repetitive zippy sequenced stabs, awash by icily organic desolate synth melodies, whilst emotionally bittersweet female vocals lost in endless anxiety, mould into robotic reflections, haloed with steady irresistible dance-inducing rhythms.
