I'm really hoping this weeks blog posts will be done quickly, having already written my review for the excellent Resident Evil Netflix show as well as one for the cyberpunk/fantasy game Shadowrun: Dragonfall. Of course, by the time this news post goes up the former will already be live on the site. There is a lot of news in my inbox, so time to sort the wheat from the chaff.
Darkwave duo Sever The Servants have released their debut full length self titled LP on the Produkt 42 label. The press release describes the album's themes as 'generally apocalyptical with some political and social commentary'. The LP is made up of six tracks, including among them Dread Bloom, Get in the Grave ('a sonic memento mori'), Haunt Me ('spawned from folk tales of sirens and banshees') and Cruel World ('lamenting the near-purgatorial state of existence in a world riddled with flaws').
Pay To Die is an eighties style comedy horror that currently is running a successful campaign on Indiegogo. The film comes from Shawn C. Phillips and Lauren Francesca, and the synopsis is that a group of filmmakers making a horror film become stalked by a demented killer, possibly because they were unsuccessful when applying for a job to work on the movie. The film is due to shoot later this year in the Los Angeles area. Check out the Indiegogo page for more details.
Margot is an Italian horror film that has recently been made available on VOD from Bayview Entertainment. It is about four siblings who meet back in their hometown after being apart for seven years. After returning to their old home they are each forced to confront their greatest fears.
Finally, back to music news. Darkwave artist Curse Mackey is soon to release his new full-length album, Immortal Emporium, which is the follow up to his 2019 album, Instant Exorcism. Curse is also to be part of a North American tour as support for Clan of Xymox. Curse says of his new album "...was created under very remote, unusual, stressful conditions. This record is a dangerous listen". Immortal Emporium is due for release on 9th September, while the tour he is a part of is due to start in the US this Autumn.
