‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

Zander Xymox’s "Obsoulete": A Dark Soundtrack for the Modern Age!

“Obsoulete (Album)” by Zander Xymox

Today has been a day of rich musical discoveries, and the next one that we wish to commend to you takes us back to the past, more specifically to the 80s. Zander Xymox is a musical project that is based on the east coast of Maryland and draws inspiration from the synthwave, darkwave, industrial and ambient horror music of that decade. 
“Obsoulete” is the name of their work or album, which was released in October of the previous year. It is distinguished by a brilliant sound design in the style of the 80s, which occasionally evokes DM’s Black Celebration, but still retains its underground character. The atmosphere of the songs is uniformly dark, with the vocal parts serving as an element of the sound design. Zander Xymox succeeds in telling stories without words through artistic sound collages. 
The sounds are like letters in the book “Obsoulete”, written by Zander Xymox. It is certainly difficult to select favourites here, but I personally count “Twisted Fate (feat. Black Nebula)”, “The Fourth Circle” and “Ghost Radio” among my highlights. If you are interested in the dark side of the 80s and their musical diversity, you should not miss “Obsoulete” by Zander Xymox. It is an album that radiates both nostalgia and innovation, and that transports you to another world.
