Darkwave visionaries Life Afterlife have officially dropped their haunting new full-length, AFTER.LIFE, via Negative Gain Productions—a shadow-drenched journey through rebirth, decay, and everything between.
🖤 Blending brooding synths, cinematic atmospheres, and pulse-driven electronics, AFTER.LIFE explores the liminal space between endings and new beginnings. It’s not just an album—it’s a séance in sound.
This release is the latest addition to Negative Gain’s dark arsenal, continuing the label’s tradition of pushing genre boundaries across darkwave, industrial, and post-punk frontiers.

A moody synthwave anthem challenging validation, illusion, and emotional solitude
Miami-based darkwave romantics ASTARI NITE return with their haunting new single “Ms. Rain On My Parade”, out now via Negative Gain Productions. The track arrives hot on the heels of their recent success “Unisex Games”, further cementing their signature blend of cinematic melancholy and glittering post-punk noir.
Frontman Mychael reflects on the deeper meaning behind the track:
“Validation is not love, and some people are confused by the two. It’s unfortunate how many live their lives yearning for that certain approval by others. This world can be very dishonest if you allow it to be—and the longer you continue to dive into someone else’s sea of lies, you’ll always be alone, with your telephone, and all four walls of the room.”
“Ms. Rain On My Parade” paints a bittersweet portrait of isolation in the modern age—wrapped in shimmering synth textures, aching vocals, and infectious grooves that echo both vulnerability and defiance.
🖤 Dive into the storm. Dance in the rain. Lose yourself in the shadows.
American dark electronic outfit PROTOKOLL 19 has just revealed their latest sonic descent with the release of “When Will It End,” the chilling first single from their forthcoming EP Somewhere Between Purgatory and Hell, out via Danse Macabre Records.
Blending harsh, melodic synths with vocals that snarl and sear, the track is a perfect taste of what’s to come: bleak beauty, throbbing atmosphere, and emotional catharsis wrapped in electronic aggression.
“When we find ourselves in a dark place, it often feels like there’s no way out,” the band shares. “The longer it continues, the harder it becomes to engage with life. We isolate, haunted by thoughts that never quite leave—they lurk, just out of reach.”
Each track from the EP will be released as a single in the months ahead, culminating in a full digital package with bonus remixes once the final song drops. Somewhere Between Purgatory and Hell promises to be a slow-burning confession—an unraveling of trauma, darkness, and the will to survive it.
🎧 “When Will It End” is now streaming on all major platforms.
