Die Heavy Metal-Band HYPERION hat nach dem Opener „Deafening“ mit „Rewire, Rebuild“ ein Lyric-Video ihres kommenden Albums „Cybergenesis“ veröffentlicht. Es ist nach „Dangerous Days“ (2017) und „Into the Maelstrom“ (2020) das dritte Album der Italiener aus Bologna und das erste mit dem neuen Sänger Max Morelli (SIGNUM DRACONIS).

Das Konzept des Albums hat folgenden Inhalt: Eine gewagte Expedition in einen Raum-Zeit-Riss endet in einer Katastrophe, weckt den „Chor“, einen uralten außerirdischen Schwarmgeist aus einer alternativen Dimension, und stürzt die Menschheit in einen verzweifelten Krieg ums Überleben. Auf einer Erde, die von der Cyborg-Armee des „Chors“ versklavt wurde, wird ein ehemaliger Kommandant als Rhizome Rider wiedergeboren, der eine Rebellion von innen heraus anführt und sich opfert, um die Menschheit zu befreien.

„Cybergenesis“ wurde von Gitarrist ud Bandgründer Davide Cotti produziert und mit einem Cover-Artwork von Ryan T. Hancock ausgestattet. Release-Termin ist der 15. Januar 2026 via Fighter Records.

HYPERION Line-Up:
Davide Cotti – Guitars

All four corners of the earth

Adorned with their animosity

Darkened by their criminality

Evil will stop at nothing

Lovers of Evil lands like a late-night broadcast from a world slightly tilted off its axis…one of those moments when you realize the buzzing in your skull is actually the song taking hold. And It Was Night, the latest moniker from composer and sound designer Rani Sharone, arrives with the kind of restless voltage you’d expect from someone who’s spent years ghost-writing for Hollywood, touring with Puscifer, rattling stages with Stolen Babies, and hearing his own work echo through Walt Disney Concert Hall courtesy of Hilary Hahn. That résumé reads like several careers stacked inside one human body, and maybe that’s why this track feels like it’s prying open a long-sealed door.

Sharone stepped away from the busy hive of in-house composition to return to his original creative impulse: building his own strange kingdoms of dark alternative electronics. And it was Night folds together dark electronic dance music, alternative rock, EBM, and new wave with the instinct of someone following a pulse only he can hear. Nothing about it feels hesitant. It moves with purpose.

Lovers of Evil is where that purpose sharpens. Inspired by true crime and the everyday rot we’ve all grown numb to, the track hits like a strobe-lit warning flare. It flicks between a menacing lurch and big-room exuberance, a dance-floor engine built for those who prefer their fun tinged with dread. Think big beat burn, think a little glam gleam and a cold grin, as the hooks sink quickly, then twist.

“Lyrically, I got the idea after watching the first season of True Detective and how heavy it made me feel,” says Sharone. “The only way I could shake that feeling off was to write about it.” You can hear that weight pressing at the corners of the song, tightening its shoulders. But instead of collapsing inward, the track flings itself into motion: beats swinging like a hammer, synths leering, everything a little warped.

The production nods to the ’90s big beat pantheon – Sharone cites Prodigy as an influence here, but it’s filtered through his own crooked lens. “I really wanted the verses to have a sinister quality to mirror the lyrics of demons hiding in plain sight among us, and wanted the choruses to have an over the top pop quality to them with stacked vocals heavily influenced by the Sisters of Mercy, Shriekback, and Erasure. I liked the disparity between what’s being said and the feel of the music.”

looking glass, do you see,

a future filled up with you & me?

all around, fight the sound,

of a world that’s turned upside down

Julien Martinez  – moonlit Texan wanderer turned Brooklyn night-owl –  shows up with into black under his Kind Kid moniker like someone dragging a half-burned diary into the studio and daring the tape machine to blink. The song moves with a strange, steady glow, the sort that rises when two people hold each other too tightly while the world creaks at the seams. Martinez isn’t writing a love song so much as a temporary late-hour pact: two bodies wrapped together, bargaining with fate, whispering promises they know time probably won’t honour. They keep whispering anyway…that’s where the voltage lives.

A bright, bouncing beat gives the track its spine, the drums walking forward with a kind of stubborn optimism even while the lyrics sketch out a relationship fraying at the edges. Martinez answers himself in call-and-response lines that feel like an argument between hope and exhaustion. And then that guitar arrives, cutting through the haze with the clarity of a cracked bell, giving the song a lift it shouldn’t logically have. You can practically envision two silhouettes dancing in a living room lit only by the weak glow of a streetlamp, trying to pretend the dawn won’t bring the same doubts they’ve been dodging for months.

The production by Garret De Block gives everything a soft blur around the edges, while Trey Frye’s mastering keeps the punch intact. Kind Kid’s blend of post-punk, indie, and new wave shows up without leaning on any nostalgic gimmicks; instead it feels like Martinez is channeling whatever storm was in his chest the night he wrote it. There’s a quiet bravery to the way he lays the lyrics bare: pledges to stay, to soothe, to wait by the phone, to carry someone else’s loneliness on his back. These aren’t grand declarations; they’re small, trembling offerings made in the dark.

Martinez may be one person, but Kind Kid sounds like a heart with its own weather system, rumbling forward through the night, refusing to give up on connection even as the sky turns.

On Saturday, April 18, 2026, the annual Dark Ceremony Festival returns to Houston’s White Oak Music Hall for an evening of old-school gothic rock and post-punk, drawing together multiple generations of the scene for an evening of old-school gothic rock and post-punk.

This year’s initial lineup features Fields of the Nephilim, She Past Away, Pink Turns Blue, and TRAITRS — with more artists still to be announced. Each band arrives as an icon in their own right, spanning the genre’s early foundations to its modern vanguard.

Headlining the festival is the long-awaited return of the UK gothic rock outlaws Fields of the Nephilim. It has been many years since the band last performed in the United States, making their appearance a rare and momentous occasion. Their 1987 debut Dawnrazor introduced their unmistakable fusion of Western occultism, ritual atmosphere, and Carl McCoy’s desert-scorched baritone. A year later came The Nephilim, home to the immortal single “Moonchild”, solidifying the band’s mythic status. Then, in 1990, the band released Elizium — an expansive, otherworldly work that opened with the cathedral-sized radiance of “For Her Light”. To witness Fields of the Nephilim in 2026 is to see a group whose influence continues to echo across decades of the dark underground.



Balancing this historic return are two defining forces of the new darkwave generation. Turkey’s She Past Away bring their entrancing atmosphere — serrated guitars, cold electronics, and vocals delivered like a midnight invocation. Toronto duo TRAITRS add a modern, emotional edge, their bleak romanticism pulsing with urgency and dread. Together, they represent the wave of artists reshaping dark music for the present moment.

Counterbalancing this is the enduring presence of the old-school stalwarts who helped define post-punk’s emotional and sonic vocabulary. Germany’s Pink Turns Blue deliver the kind of bittersweet, knife-clean melodies that have influenced generations — tracks like “Walking on Both Sides” and “Your Master Is Calling” remain cornerstones of the genre. Alongside Fields of the Nephilim, they ground the festival in decades of uncompromising expression.

In this configuration, every act on the bill is an icon — whether carrying the torch from the early era or igniting the flame for a new one. Dark Ceremony 2026 presents a rare generational cross-section of the goth and post-punk continuum: the legends who built the foundation, and the modern forces propelling it into the future.

Μετά από ένα συγκλονιστικό καλοκαιρινό πρώτο εγχείρημα τον Ιούλιο του 2023 στη Τεχνόπολη του Δήμου Αθηναίων και την επιτυχημένη indoor εκδοχή του τον χειμώνα του 2024 στο Fuzz Live Music Club, η ομάδα του Death Disco επιστρέφει στις αρχές του Φθινοπώρου του 2025. Με headliners τη Νew Wave ποιήτρια και πρωτεργάτη της ηλεκτρονικής μουσικής Αnne Clark από τη μια, και τον Peter Hook, τον ίσως σημαντικότερο μπασίστα όλων των εποχών και τον μοναδικό άνθρωπο στη γη που κρατάει ζωντανό το πνεύμα των Joy Division, το Death Disco βάζει με το καλημέρα τις βάσεις για ένα ακόμα άχαστο διήμερο Open Air Festival.

H Anne Clark, έχοντας στη φαρέτρα της μια εντυπωσιακή δισκογραφία και μερικά από τα πιο εμβληματικά singles όλων των εποχών (με μπροστάρη το απόλυτο club hit “Οur Darkness” που μέχρι και σήμερα βρίσκει με την ίδια ευκολία τον χώρο του στα σκοτεινά αλλά και στα ηλεκτρονικά / techno dancefloors) και με την ώθηση που της έδωσε η πρόσφατη sold out ευρωπαϊκή της περιοδεία, επιστρέφει στην Αθήνα με full band,17 ολόκληρα χρόνια μετά την τελευταία της επίσκεψη.

O Peter Hook, με τη δουλειά του στους Joy Division και τους Νew Order να θεωρείται αξεπέραστη, έρχεται με τη μπάντα του τους Peter Hook and Τhe Light, να μας παρουσιάσει ένα σετ αποκλειστικά βασισμένο σε αυτά τα δύο μεγαθήρια της post punk / new wave / synth pop μουσικής. Μαζί τους ένα ακόμα εμβληματικό post punk σχήμα του Μanchester, οι Chameleons. Ένα από τα πιο επιδραστικά και ταυτόχρονα παραγκωνισμένα σχήματα της εναλλακτικής μουσικής των 80’s, που στις μέρες μας βρίσκει την αναγνώριση που του αξίζει με μπάντες σαν τους Interpol και τους Oasis να τους αναφέρουν σαν μεγάλη τους επιρροή και να θεωρούνται πλέον μια από τις μεγαλύτερες post punk μπάντες όλων των εποχών.

Το νέο αίμα της σκηνής εκπροσωπείται επάξια με τους Buzz Kull του Αυστραλού Marc Dwyer. Mετά τη sold out εμφάνισή τους στις αρχές του 2024, επιστρέφουν στην Αθήνα με το μοναδικό ΕBM / Industrial / Cold Wave δημιούργημά τους, ότι πιο φρέσκο και καινοτόμο έχει να προσφέρει η σύγχρονη “dark” μουσική. 

Η πρώτη πεντάδα συγκροτημάτων, συμπληρώνεται με τους Γερμανούς Κlangstabil, που επιστρέφουν το 2025 στη συναυλιακή δράση για να αποδείξουν σε όλο το κόσμο και από σκηνής γιατί θεωρούνται το κορυφαίο σχήμα της IDM / Electro μουσικής.

Το Σάββατο 20 και τη Κυριακή 21 Σεπτεμβρίου 2025, η Αθήνα θα είναι και πάλι στο συναυλιακό επίκεντρο της “σκοτεινής” μουσικής. Με ένα line up που θα κάνει και πάλι τα κεφάλια της εναλλακτικής σκηνής να γυρίσουν προς τη χώρα μας, το Death Disco Open Air 2025 θα είναι το απόλυτο εγχώριο – και ένα από τα σημαντικότερα παγκοσμίως – συναυλιακό γεγονός της σκοτεινής σκηνής μέσα στο 2025. Εσύ θα λείπεις?

Solar Fake (DE) + Seadrake (SWE/DE) + Empire In Dust (DE) – Live @ Death Disco Athens Club, Athens Gr.

Date: Saturday November 01, 2025
Venue: Death Disco
Adress: Ogigou 16 & Lepeniotou 24, Psirri, Athens, Greece
Doors at 21:00.
 

 
Το Σάββατο 1 Νοεμβρίου, το εντυπωσιακά δραστήριο ελληνικό fan club τους υποδέχεται για άλλη μια φορά στο Death Disco τους μοναδικούς Solar Fake για μία δυνατή εμφάνιση γεμάτη ηλεκτρονική ενέργεια, σκοτεινή pop αισθητική και έντονο συναίσθημα.
 
Το αγαπημένο electro project του Sven Friedrich επιστρέφει στην Ελλάδα για να μας παρασύρει σε μια βραδιά γεμάτη πάθος, ρυθμό και ένταση.
 

Οι Solar Fake είναι ένα από τα σημαντικότερα συγκροτήματα της ευρωπαϊκής dark electro/synthpop σκηνής. Δημιουργήθηκαν το 2007 από τον Sven Friedrich, γνωστό από τους Dreadful Shadows και Zeraphine, και από τότε έχουν διαγράψει μια σταθερά ανοδική πορεία.
Ο ήχος τους συνδυάζει επιδέξια τα στοιχεία της μελωδικής synthpop με την επιθετικότητα της EBM και του industrial, δημιουργώντας ένα μοναδικό ηχητικό αποτύπωμα που είναι ταυτόχρονα χορευτικό και συναισθηματικά φορτισμένο.
Με εξαιρετικές κυκλοφορίες όπως τα “Another Manic Episode”, “You Win. Who Cares?” και το πρόσφατο “Don’t Push This Button”, έχουν εδραιωθεί ως ένα από τα πιο επιδραστικά σχήματα του είδους.
Οι ζωντανές τους εμφανίσεις είναι εκρηκτικές, με τον Sven Friedrich να οδηγεί το κοινό σε μια έντονη μουσική εμπειρία. Οι Solar Fake έχουν εμφανιστεί σε μεγάλα φεστιβάλ όπως το M’era Luna, Amphi και Wave-Gotik-Treffen, ενώ έχουν περιοδεύσει σε όλη την Ευρώπη – και όχι μόνο.
 

Support θα είναι οι Σουηδογερμανοί Seadrake και οι Γερμανοί Empire In Dust.

Οι Seadrake αποτελούνται από τον Rickard Gunarrson (Lowe,Statemachine) και τον Μatthias Thurk (ex-Minerve) έχοντας σαν guest τραγουδιστή τον Sir Boyfriend.
Έχουν στενή σχέση με τους Solar Fake καθώς έχουν περιοδεύσει μαζί το 2019 και το 2022.
 

Οι EMPIRE IN DUST είναι το ντουέτο δημιούργημα του παραγωγού και τραγουδιστή Manuel Mundt.
Ο Manuel περιγράφει τη μουσική τους σαν ένα μείγμα future pop,EBM,darkwave και synth rock.
Μέχρι στιγμής έχουν κυκλοφορήσει το άλμπουμ ‘Α Place To Rest’
ενώ μέσα στο 2025 αναμένεται η νέα τους δουλειά με τίτλο ‘Riven’.
 

Ώρα προσέλευσης: 21:00
Προπώληση εισιτηρίων: 20€
Ταμείο: 25€.

Chameleons – Arctic Moon

‘Arctic Moon’ is the first full-length studio album by Chameleons in 24 years and the first to feature the current group line-up. It contains seven new songs that include the recent single ‘Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing’ STREAM   VIDEO, a re-recorded version of ‘Where Are You?’ (2024 single), plus longer compositions such as the slow-burning epic ‘David Bowie Takes My Hand’.

Although signalling something of a departure from the sound of their earlier albums, ‘Arctic Moon’ nevertheless remains rooted in the same emotional depth, spirit and intensity that has always defined their output.

“There is an obvious maturity to the songwriting on this record, and anyone familiar with our past work will hear that this is a positive step forward,” bassist and singer Vox (Mark Burgess) has previously stated. “While we’re proud of the band’s legacy, we really wanted to forge something fresh while retaining that profound and imaginative quality we’re known for. We think that we have managed to do that and deliver a very strong record!”

Chameleons have spent the summer touring on both sides of the Atlantic, with their latest headlining US trek also incorporating a dozen dates with The Psychedelic Furs. UK shows included an appearance at the Forever Now festival held at Milton Keynes Bowl, The Guardian reporting that the “gnarled angst and integrity of Manchester’s ultimate cult band remains intact.”

Another North American tour commences shortly after the release of ‘Arctic Moon’, followed by mainland European dates from late October and a previously announced UK tour in November TOUR & TICKET INFO HERE.

Long cited as a hugely influential act, having inspired the likes of (The) Verve, Oasis, Interpol, The Killers, Editors and White Lies, Chameleons are renowned for their transformative catalogue and intense, emotionally charged live performances, creating a legacy that extends far beyond their four previously issued studio albums. Their widely acclaimed debut, ‘Script of the Bridge’ (1983), has been cited by many as a masterpiece way ahead of its time, and was followed by ‘What Does Anything Mean? Basically!’ (1984), ‘Strange Times’ (1986) and ‘Why Call It Anything?’ (2001).

Their unique sound swiftly gained an audience with its mix of melancholic yet energetic and powerful tunes, hypnotic, ethereal riffs and a potent, timeless lyrical style. They are considered one of the most influential guitar bands of the ’80s and ’90s, contributing substantially to the post-punk, shoegaze and indie scenes.

2024 saw the release of two EPs that kicked off a new chapter for the band. ‘Where Are You?’ consisted of three new songs, while ‘Tomorrow Remember Yesterday’ featured five re-recorded archive tracks. The well-received ‘Saviours Are A Dangerous Thing’ was issued in late May 2025, setting the scene for ‘Arctic Moon’, an album that sees Chameleons propelling forward musically while retaining the essence that has made them iconic.

When Andreas Catjar-Danielsson left this world in the very early morning of July 29, 2024, it still came as a shock to his relatives and friends including his former band mates in COVENANT. Although the musicians had known for a while that their beloved friend and colleague was losing his epic struggle with cancer, the realisation of it actually happening landed with such a massive impact that nobody ever could have prepared for.

Exactly a year after this dreadful day, COVENANT have announced the “Andreas EP”, which is the Swedes’ first release in nearly a decade. The EP is a tribute to the dear friend and colleague lost but also intended for charity as all proceeds will be going to Andreas Catjar-Danielsson’s widow and their two children. “Andreas EP” contains five experimental tracks including two cover versions by YAZOO (“Winter Kills”) and LEE HAZLEWOOD (‘A Rider on a White Horse’).
 

COVENANT were conceived in the city of Helsingborg in Sweden’s southernmost province of Skåne, only a short boat trip away from Helsingør on the Danish side of the water in 1988 by a bunch of young lads that were inspired by the flourishing scene of European electronic music spearheaded by bands such as DEPECHE MODE, KRAFTWERK, THE HUMAN LEAGUE, and FRONT 242 to name but a few. COVENANT chose their name as a symbol of the especially strong bond of friendship that they shared.
 
Emerging from the parent’s basements and recording in their bedrooms, COVENANT were invited to publish their song ‘The Replicant’ on a label sampler in 1992, which created such a buzz that it was followed by a record deal. It took two more years, before the Swedes’ album debut ‘Dreams of a Cryotank’ detonated onto the electro scene with a massive impact in December 1994. The rest is already musical history.
 
Throughout their outstanding career, which is currently spanning nine acclaimed studio full-lengths and two live albums, COVENANT have always moved forward, searched for new exciting ways of expression, and pushed the boundaries of electronic music. Emotional intelligence combined with excellent musical craftsmanship, and a knack for catchy tunes has brought the Northern Europeans to the forefront of electronic music and made them a household name of the scene.

Dependent Records support this charity with all their hearts and will waive all proceeds from the “Andreas EP”.

OMEN CODE reveal the grimdark cyperpunk track ‘Brutal + Pure‘ as the first single extracted from their forthcoming debut album “Alpha State“, which has been set to impact on December 5, 2025.

OMEN CODE comment: “This is probably my favourite track on ‘Alpha State'”, Kevin Gould writes. “I like the structure and the meaty mid-tempo pace. In this track many of my favourite elements come together. The chorus impacts as a solid wall of sound and Agi’s final verse sounds desperate… almost like he is pleading. Do you hear it, too?”

Tracklist
1. Isolate
2. Deform
3. Dead Zone
4. Ultra Fear
5. Apartment 213
6. Submerge
7. Tensor
8. Atrophy
9. Incubate
10. Contagion
11. Paralyze
12. Brutal + Pure

 

With their debut album “Alpha State”, OMEN CODE deliver the sound of the future – and the future is grim and dark! Their future is also firmly built upon the remains of the past. Certainly constructed to fill the dance floor, the international duo channels the bleak, cold precision of mid-tempo FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY and the cinematic story-telling soundscapes of John Carpenter electronics into a thrilling sound that is both resurrecting a classic 80s vibe and also fresh at the same time.

OMEN CODE are the new rising star on the EBM firmament. Deep, dark, and gritty industrial sounds are channelled into captivating mid-tempo tracks that create the atmospheric feeling of a dystopian future ruled by technology and marked by social decline.

This grimdark science fiction approach is not meant to indicate that OMEN CODE embrace any political agenda or message. Rather the international duo took inspiration from the writings of Philip K. Dick and Alfred Bester as well as cinematic masterpieces by British director Ridley Scott such as “Alien” and “Blade Runner” among others. 

OMEN CODE were originally intended as a one-time project by Kevin Gould. The engineer, programmer, and lyricist was a member of the English Industrial EBM trio JOHNSON ENGINEERING CO. together with Sean Bailey and Ian Hicks, which released the album “Unleash” in 1988. He went on to found the electro-industrial act ELECTRO ASSASSIN with Ian Taylor. Following the release of “Jamming the Voice of the Universe” (1992), Taylor was replaced by Richard McKinlay with whom the next albums “Bioculture” (1993) and “The Divine Invasion” (1995) were recorded.

When vocalist and lyricist Agi Taralas was hand-picked from a stack of applications for the frontman position, the chemistry between the two artists proved so productive and strong that Gould and Taralas decided together to turn OMEN CODE into a permanent project that would also aim to perform live. The vocalist had already left his mark on the scene in a joint project with German electronic musician Stefan Böhm under the moniker OUR BANSHEE that released an album entitled “4200” in 2017.

Whether you want to indulge in shady dreams and evoke sinister futuristic images in cinemascopic visions or just move to dark electronics on the dancefloor, OMEN CODE offer the perfect soundscapes for both approaches to their music with the grandiose debut album “Alpha State”!

Line-up
Kevin Gould – engineer, programming, track construction, lyrics 
Agi Taralas – vocals, lyrics

"Haunting" is a powerful, emotional song about love, loss, and self-reflection. Originally written over 15 years ago by Merry Chicklit, it has now been reinterpreted and brought to life in collaboration with producer and musician Leon Xero (Imperfexion).

The artists stay true to their rebellious philosophy, preserving rough edges and genuine vulnerability—making the song all the more captivating and authentic.

In 2001, THANATEROS released their debut album, “The First Rite” – a work about magic, the worship of nature, old gods and shamanism. Even though this theme has always accompanied the five dark rockers, THANATEROS’ new work, “Tranceforming”, is a more impressive continuation of their first album than ever before. As if there were less than 23 years between the two releases.

The title “Tranceforming” is fitting. A play on words that, on the one hand, stands for bringing about a shamanic trance in which the practitioner goes on a dream journey, leaves his body and gets in touch with the spirit world. And, on the other hand, it includes transition, change, transformation. Aspects to which everything and everyone is subjected to, on both the small and large scales.

Since "Tranceforming" also impresses with a powerful, balanced and harmonious production, the new THANATEROS work certainly represents a milestone in the band's long-standing work and should also provide a lot of joy live on stage.

THANATEROS are: Ben Richter - vocals / Chris Lang - guitar / Christof Uhlmann - violin / MarT Møller - bass / Simon Rippin - drums on "Tranceforming"

After a long time there is new music from the Netherlands in the form of the video single "Don't Pray".

The lyrics of this track are a powerful commentary on the hypocrisy and emptiness of religious institutions and the people who lead them. The band's use of strong imagery and striking metaphors paints a vivid picture of their message, making it impossible to ignore.

The lyrics are delivered with a raw and emotional intensity that perfectly captures the frustration and disillusionment of the song's subject, encapsulating the band's disdain for the phoniness and insincerity of those in power. The backing vocals by Yvette Winkler (singer with Dark Wave band ‘Vaselyne’) perfectly complement Frank Weyzig’s voice, creating a harmonious blend that captures the emotions of the lyrics.

The band's alternative indie wave style is on full display here, showcasing their unique blend of influences and their ability to create something truly original.

Overall, "Don't Pray" is a standout track that showcases Born For Bliss's powerful songwriting and musicianship.

The band is currently working feverishly on new songs.
