She Past Away (dark wave TUR 2010)

These are our great gothic rock neighbours from Turkey. Someone please bring them here immediately. The sound is true 80's , kinda Sister-esque but no Cassandra bullshit.  And they build some serious atmospheres with their synths and effects. Cold dark wave indeed. 5 stars
Last fm says these trivia.
 
"She Past Away is a new wave / post punk band from Bursa, the opposite shore of the Marmara, formed by Volkan Caner (vocal/guitar) and Idris Akbulut (bass) in 2006. With the live participation of Doruk Ozturkcan in electronic drums, the band was totally shaped by the end of 2009.
Clashing gothic lyrics with buzzsaw guitars, allegedly broken vocals and sensory drum effects, the band evokes the cavernous experiments of darkwave era with the likes of The Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus and Suicide.

After a long demo-recording session, in 2009, the duo joined to Remoov Records in which they began to work on their debut release with Süpermatik.
The common characteristic of their live performances is that they combine their well-positioned rawk tunes and harsh textures with paranoia-inducing industrial visuals, which are created by Asli Narin.
Mixed and mastered by Süpermatik, the debut album is going to be out in May, ."

These are Dark Souls Day..greek gothic rock from Thessaloniki,of "all the pretty little mutants" fame ..They have released their EP, and it's worth a listen, if you like your music dark with guitars!

And this what they have to say for themselves:

“X-Lives”, the debut album of the greek band Dark Souls Day, dovetails with all releases that were influenced by Post-Punk and Independent Music of the 80s and 90s. The album encloses 7 songs, which are worth to be dicovered and heard.

Dark Souls Day was founded in 2004 by the musicians Nikos and Pepi. Nikos, who’s been playing with some different bands in the past, devoted himself to music production owns a small home-studio, where already some albums originated. To instance just one of his most important productions: “No Land For Escape” by the band Laissez Faire.
Pepi writes lyrics and backs up the common band-project by her vocals. The songs “Electrify” and “No Time” both already could be heard in a movie named EKOSTRAKISMENOS (THE EXILED) by Nick Samaras (Crazy Greek Productions). The song “Dark Love” also will be captured on celluloid soon too, as it is going to be heard in Nick Samaras new movie “CONSPIRACY OF BLOOD”.
The album “X-Lives” was published in april 2010 on the Subexistance Productions label and now they will introduce it to a broad public by putting it up as a free download – licensed under Creative Commons – in collaboration with afmusic starting November 22nd 2010.
