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

• Athens, Greek dark experimental minimal project by Nick D., DAS NOIR “Veil Of Tears (feat. John Ven)” single
  

New single from the Athenian dark experimental minimal project of Nick D., cloaked in a cinematic atmosphere of doomed romance, flows on ceaselessly metronomic splattering beats and swelling dramatic drones, punctuated by piercing guitar twinges and desolate keys, woven with soft ghostly spoken vocals, shifting between sad care and cold anger while watching a fearful soul hide behind a veil of tears.

• Victoria, British Columbia DIY coldwave /post-punk /darkwave /synthpop solo project BLEACHED HEAT “Cross” single
  

A cold slice of bitter, dark synth-pop that fuses 8os dancing lure with ominously groovy, clatteringly bouncy rhythm patterns and infectious bright synth strings, whilst grave, distressed vocals, afraid to let another see their flaws, suffer in empty callousness while kneeling spitefully beside the “Cross.”

• Grodno, Belarus goth /post-punk /darkwave solo project Aven Graph “Masochism” single
  

Another compelling single from Belarus‘s young darkwave musician. A stern loop of a hypnotic drum machine and buzzing bass lines drive a chilly vortex of sharp-edged, blazing synths that writhe, wail and churn with piercing yet merciful desolation against the backdrop of ruthlessly disconnected, pain-filled vocals twisting in a bloody agony of loveless passion.

• US goth /industrial /dark electronic /darkwave artist Bestial Mouths “In Ruins (Grendel Remix) [Soil Records] from V/A “Resiliencia (Fundraising for Valencia) Vol​.​2” compilation [Industrial Complexx]
