Dark wave is on the rise again. Gaining popularity in the 80s as a darker, atmospheric alternative to new wave and synth-pop, the sound incorporates gothic rock and synths to produce a colder, sharper version of its more up-beat counterpart. Wesley Eisold (who was the singer of hardcore group Give Up The Ghost, formerly American Nightmare) fastens the elements of traditional dark wave with his project Cold Cave – music perfectly suited to be blasted at your next cold graveyard dance party.
