Une Vraie Gothique

Une Vraie Gothique : press review

SchwarzesBayern (EN - interview)
L'autre Monde (Fr - itw radio)
Verdammnis (FR) "There’s a skill for crafting phrases—both musically and lyrically—that immediately grabs your attention. It’s a sound that’s clearly influenced by the dark electro and industrial scenes of the ’90s and 2000s, yet remains resolutely modern and pop. This project isn’t just cool; it was also necessary."
Verdammnis (FR - release party report) "Their flair for crafting lyrics adapts to a variety of genres. EBM, dark pop, rap over a darksynth backdrop, and more: Une Vraie Gothique draws from a wide range of influences, yet thanks to their distinctive tone and soul, they never lose their sense of coherence. "
L'autre Monde (FR) "at once enjoyable, haunting, and terrifyingly effective"…

Cold Cause

Cold Cause, press review

La Face B (FR)
Analogue Trash (EN) "It is first and foremost a song, but it also feels deliberately engineered to provoke specific moods and movements"
Sanctuary.cz (CZ)
Schwarzesbayern (DE) "Cold Cause 's self-titled debut is a fantastic and highly diverse album within the electro-goth spectrum, while also venturing into post-punk territory."

Midnight Poetry "Dive into the Darkness"

Midnight Poetry : Press

Kollectiva (HU) "Midnight Poetry’s contemporary darkwave is incredibly diverse; it deliberately pushes the boundaries of the genre, creating a rich sonic and emotional landscape that extends far beyond the bittersweet nostalgia of the ’80s."
Unter-ton (DE) "The debut album employs some predictable Gothic tropes, but avoids clichés thanks to the intelligent arrangement of the eight tracks."
Post Punk (EN) "Midnight Poetry have made a song that understands vampire romance for what it has always been: sex, death, devotion, and bad boundaries in good lighting."
White Light / White Heat (EN) "I highly recommend giving “Dive into the Darkness” LP a listen, as it reflects a deep understanding of the essence of darkwave music."…

Buzzkill Wasteland

Buzzkill, press review

Schwarzesbayern (DE) "Hard, soft, atmospheric, energetically punk – Buzzkill combine all these elements on Wasteland ."
White Light // White Heat (EN) This is “Wasteland”, the debut album of BUZZKILL, one of the best albums of the year (for sure) so far, and if an atomic bomb doesn’t fall on Europe by the end of the year, then it will figure high on the December lists as well. Voila!
Gothic.hu (HU) The strength of Wasteland lies in the fact that it doesn't try to be more than it is: a noisy, angry and honest impression of a disintegrating world. Recommended for those looking for classic punk energy, but also open to darker, more experimental sounds.…
