🎧🎶 Ships In The Night to Perform at Wave-Gotik-Treffen Festival! 🎧

Ethereal darkwave artist Ships In The Night is set to perform for the first time at the upcoming iconic Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig, Germany. This performance marks a major milestone for the project helmed by Alethea Leventhal, known for her haunting vocals, cinematic soundscapes, and emotionally charged live shows.

Wave-Gotik-Treffen, held annually in Leipzig since 1992, draws over 20,000 attendees and transforms the city into a celebration of Gothic culture, music, fashion, and art. Ships In The Night is scheduled to perform among a vast selection of acts spanning darkwave, post-punk, and industrial genres that include Drab Majesty, Public Image Limited, New Model Army, and Selofan, to name a few.

Ships In The Night’s latest album, “Protection Spells,” was recently released by Metropolis Records, earning critical praise with a sound that echoes the melancholy of ’80s darkwave while also forging new emotional ground. “It’s an incredible honor to be part of a festival that has meant so much to the dark music community for decades,” says Alethea. “I’m excited to bring Ships In The Night to Leipzig and share this experience with people from around the world.”

Ships In The Night will perform at Moritzbastei for the Wave-Gotik-Treffen festival in Leipzig on Friday, June 6th at 9 PM.

✨ SHIPS IN THE NIGHT Conjures “Protection Spells” – New Album Out Now! ✨

Alethea Leventhal’s solo project, SHIPS IN THE NIGHT, has just unveiled their third full-length album, “Protection Spells,” via Metropolis Records! The digital version is out now (released May 2nd, 2025), with the CD following on May 9th, 2025.

“Protection Spells” is a compelling and potent collection of dark pop anthems, drawing inspiration from trauma, magic, darkness, and ultimately, hope. As the title suggests, these songs are Leventhal’s sonic incantations, crafted to inspire strength, focus, and transformation during challenging times.

The New York City-based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer’s signature electronic production beautifully complements her mesmerizing and emotionally charged vocal arrangements. “Protection Spells” promises to transport listeners to enchanting realms, offering solace in a difficult era as they navigate powerful highs and the depths of past sorrow, all within its mystical and emotional embrace.

The album features the previously released singles ‘Some Of Those Dreams’ and ‘Blood Harmony’.

Ships In The Night will be performing ‘Protection Spells’ live at The Black Lodge Ball on May 9th at Fallout RVA in Richmond, Virginia. This special event also celebrates the life and work of David Lynch, with Lynch-inspired DJ sets from Bobby Metronome and Xris Smack. [INFO]([Searching for Black Lodge Ball Info])
