[HC] THE LIGHT DREAMS -Tricks of the Light (Digital) (Self-Released) With influences from science fiction, travel and dreams as numerous pioneering artists and composers such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Gary Numan,Tangerine Dream, Depeche Mode & David Bowie (to name a few),‘The Light Dreams’ is an instrumental Synthesiser project founded byAlex Storer in 2006.‘Tricks of the Light’ is Mr.Storer’s latest ‘The Light Dreams’ creation.The genesis was a trip he made to Iceland in March 2022. Seeing the Northern Lights from a glass cabin at 3am in the morning made him want to capture that experience in music. The inspiration however goes beyond seeing the Northern Lights. The idea for ‘Tricks of the Light’ for example, the title track, came when he saw Peter Gabriel in concert in 2023.One of Gabriel’s new songs included a majestic ‘wall of sound’ and that immediately sparked new creativity. ‘Subliminal Resonance’ is a leftover unfinished demo track dating from 2013. The Result? A concept album with 11 mesmerising ‘Synth-Spheric’ tracks that will take you on a trip to the Aurora Borealis.All you have to do is close your eyes and listen! [HC]. GROUND NERO - Blood Never Sleeps (CD/Digital) (Dance Macabre) Ground Nero's new album, 'Blood Never Sleeps'. The album had been around for a while digitally, and is now coming out physically. After 'Divergence', it took a while to endure, until British vocalist Mark Sayle joined the troops following previous vocalist Guy who regretfully left the band. The basic ingredients remain the same: solidly rocking Gothic Rock, with a solid flurry of Darkwave. The opening track is immediately a lingering Goth Rock song of the kind they may continue to make for me,An economical melody, stealthy and harmless, and yet there is menace emanating from it. Sayle's voice is made for the genre. So in that regard, a more than worthy vocalist following Gwijde[…] Album after album, Ground Nero remains true to their typical sound, but without the problem that other bands sometimes get into: that it becomes boring.That is not the case with Ground Nero […] The album closes with 'Stars'.A song dedicated to Sofie Taeymans (RIP) […] It is a great tribute, and immediately one of the catchiest, darkest and most loaded songs, making this album a more than worthy, deeply dark successor to 'Divergence'. [JB] ROSETTA STONE - Under The Weather (CD/ Vynil/Digital) (Cleopatra Records) “It was hard enough before the changes came …“Emerging in the late 1980’s UK band Rosetta Stone came out of the influential second wave of Gothic Rock, leaving an indelible and undeniable mark on the Gothicmusic scene.35 years since debuting with the,in 1989 released, ‘Darkness And Light’ EP Rosetta Stone is now back with a brand new (No. 7) studio album! (‘Cryptology’, the previous album, already dates back from 2020) Bandleader Porl King sure hasn’t lost his touch. From the opening title track to the practically instrumental 'Goth-Floor' filler 'Change',‘Under TheWeather’ is a,as we are used from him,10-songs counting albumwith the so characteristic chiming guitars and lush keyboards.The somber &dark romanticmood fits perfectly with the this-time-of-year (almost Hallowe'en) fall season. In other words; Soulstirring Goth Rock, high on my list of favorite albums released in 2024. If that is the same for you I gladly let you decide for yourself.
