‘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.

"Brujeria" by blxckflamingo

"Brujeria" by blxckflamingo 

As soon as I read about new darkwave projects, I just have to listen to them, and I'm usually not disappointed.

This is also the case with blxckflamingo from New Jersey, who have released a 3-track EP called "Attic Tracks", on which "Brujeria" stands out once again. 
The song is a dark, poetic reflection on passion, devotion, and the destructive aspects of desire and pain. A mystical, almost occult atmosphere is created with pictorial descriptions such as "witches’ ball" and "mystical rain", which keeps you caught between attraction and self-destruction. blxckflamingo succeeds with "Brujeria" in creating a powerful expression of inner chaos and longing. 
Musically, you can look forward to excellent cold darkwave that indulges in a post-punk renaissance. Gothic traits round off the track, making it a must for genre lovers as well as music enthusiasts who venture into the darkness. The accompanying video is no less successful!
