Beyond the endless fields of cold rain
aches there seething flats of the plane
rife all with scattering beasts on the basin floor
beware the wandering soul gone off [that meanders]
Stark thoughts of nothingness fill the air
Leave the night to tend to itself
Watch now the meadows fill
See now the creatures kill
In the fiery glade, falls fast a hungry blade
War and strife unseen by the naked eye
to behold, untold
out in the Hinterland, the meek and frail withstand
not ours to make sense of, stir there the bloodied ones
of the scared and scathed
of the lost brigade
Outstanding electro-infused darkwave from the voice of NYC goth progenitors Fahrenheit 451. With NOIR, Athan Maroulis, and co. keep the dark muse pedestaled, replete with a sublime Fad Gadget tribute. A Cloud of Ravens
Albie Mason’s profound, atmospheric soundscapes steer as much toward the classics as they do new, bleak pastures. A go-to artist for modern gothic. A Cloud of Ravens
It's so hard to pick just one favourite track. The whole album is just so magical, so special!
It's like a warm shroud of enveloping, nourishing darkness. Onyx Tomb
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
