Cold Cave has become synonymous with the modern-day resurgence of darkwave and synthpop. Since 2007, Wesley Eisold’s poetic lyrics and rich baritone combined with Amy Lee’s conceptual artistic vision has propelled Cold Cave to perform at world class museums The Getty and The Guggenheim, and tours alongside legends Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Cult and Ministry among others. Marked by a pitch black aesthetic, crafting melodic synths-capes with songs celebrating the contradictory beauty of the human condition, they are cerebral and savage yet sweet and seductive.
Clan of Xymox is a Dutch band, formed in 1981 by Ronny Moorings in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. The music is often classified as darkwave, gothic rock, and synth-pop, and is known for it’s moody, atmospheric sound and introspective lyrics.
In 1983, the band released it’s self-titled debut album Subsequent Pleasures and gained attention in the emerging gothic music scene. The album featured a dark, ethereal sound that would become their signature style. Ronny Moorings’s lyrics often explores themes of love, loss, and introspection, and is known for the melancholic and atmospheric soundscapes. Their influence can be heard in the work of many contemporary darkwave and gothic bands. Throughout the bands long career, Clan of Xymox has remained active and continues to be an important and influential presence in the gothic/ dark wave music genre.
