Dark is a solo artist form Germany that plays a mixture of darkwave, goth and post punk and this is a review of his self released 2021 album "Nightmare".
Electronic music style synths start off the album while all of the drum beats are also programmed. Vocals are done in mostly a clean goth rock style along with the whispers also adding in a touch of black metal and at times the bass guitars also bring in a very powerful sounding post punk style.
Elements of darkwave can also be heard quite a bit throughout the recording while all of the tracks also sound very different from each other. One song also adds in a brief use of electric guitars and solos along with some female vocals also being utilized on a couple of songs as well as one song also introducing spoken word parts onto the album, all of the tracks also stick to either a slow or mid tempo direction.
Dark plays a musical style that takes darkwave, goth and post punk and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark, tragic and poetic themes.
In my opinion Dark are a very great sounding mixture of darkwave, goth and post punk and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Nightmare" "Gothic Love" and "Avoid Everyone". 8 out of 10.
