It’s been less than a week since publishing my last set of reviews: I usually take more time in between my writings here on Dark Wave Publications. And that’s because I’m usually very busy. But the pandemic … for some it causes an increase in creativity, for others a lack thereof. For me–I’m floating someplace in the middle, somewhat less of the whatever I was … Continue reading Reviews: Menthüll and jelly the astronaut
Uncertain times. It seems that darkness has distanced us from each other, and also somehow, still brings us together–at least with music. I have lately had an influx of requests for reviews. I understand why. With so many of us stuck at home, in quarantine, there is still art to be created and still even more to be discovered. Before all of this–this new reality … Continue reading Reviews April 2020
Mark Gemini Thwaite (MGT) is more than a talented guitarist. He moves effortlessly from one project to the next, accomplished. His list of musical contributions seems countless. From Peter Murphy to Gary Numan, and somehow making time for MGT in between, Thwaite is a busy man. MGT is about to take on another tour—this time, with the Lords of Acid. He trades the comforts of … Continue reading MGT
Lefki Symphonia has a strong history in rock music. They were the first Greek band to make an appearance on MTV—groundbreaking, to say the least, and they spent most of their time between 1986 and the year 2000 on tour. Since the project’s creation in 1984, Lefki Symphonia has amassed a dedicated, strong following that still grows today. Their fifth album is set for release … Continue reading Lefki Symphonia
In November of 2018, Amaranth released the album Spreading The Charred Remains of Hope. This twelve track album is well worth the listen, and afterward, I’m pretty sure you’ll want to own it as a part of your collection (there’s a link below). Songs I instantly connected with were Ghost In The Rain, Sheets of Glass, Fatalist, and the title track, Spreading The Charred Remains … Continue reading AMARANTH
Rain To Rust is a solo project out of Turkey that can easily blend into various genres. With one album and a single released thus far, this project exudes post-punk, new wave, rock, dream pop–and even goth elements–that are sure to delight the listener. Because it feels so well put together, so clean, one can become very easily drawn in to this dark, well-constructed sound. … Continue reading Rain To Rust
Nim Vind has created an artistic identity for himself that refuses to submit to any specific rock and roll genre. As a result, his sound connects well with a broad spectrum of listeners. He’s toured with several respected musical icons from within the horror punk, deathrock, and dark wave scenes. He is modest in his approach and mysterious in his ways. And as a writer … Continue reading NIM VIND

There’s nothing more intense than witnessing the pure energy of Calabrese performing live. And if you ever have an opportunity to attend one of their shows, I highly recommend that you do. As a band that clings to no genre, their sound can be described as existing someplace between old-school rock-and-roll and the dark realms of horror punk. Brilliantly so. Let’s just say that if … Continue reading Calabrese
