Some say into darkness
Into darkness we were born
Some say into sadness
Real sadness we are torn
There is a little black spot on your face
Where the sun never shines
There is a little black spot on your heart
Where the sun never shines
And never will
Life is a long time coming
You’ll never be happy again
It’s a long time coming
Never be happy, never be happy again
Until the end
of the candle
Until the end

One of the best black metal bands of the last 8 years, which means they're beyond the boring tropes of the label. Intelligent and innovative with music geared towards the emotive ends of the work, not an adornment of scene badges or theatrical misanthropy. stevstemac
Dark and seething post-punk from Cincinnati that's appealingly janky enough to make a tired genre feel fresh and urgent. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2023
This Glasgow band is less straightforward or formulaic than many others currently treading the '80s post-punk path. These songs are winged. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 22, 2017
Layering guitars and saxes over synths and drum machines, this Oakland duo's darkwave is as melodically potent as it is texturally rich. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 1, 2024
