Live Konzert: Violence against Man & Retrograth (SWE)

Dark Electronic, Synthpop

Violence against Man was born as a music project in Graz, Austria in
2021. Afterwards it moved to Lisbon, Portugal for about 8 months and
then settled in Linz, Austria for now. Similarly, the musical style is left
forever seeking a home, existing somewhere between darkwave,
synthwave and EBM.Themes such as alienation, nostalgia, misanthropy and dystopia areexplored, with the primary purpose of findingcatharsis and rebirth through the experience of dance and music,defying the expectations and conventions of our postmodern society.The ultimate goal is to lose your mind and find the perfect techno beat.Starting April 2024, this vision is being realized at Polypiel Records.

RETROGRATH is an analogue wave artist. The music is described by
Radio Waterloo in Canada as postpunk drenched in dark synth gothic electro. Artists that have popped up in descriptions are early Human League, Nine Inch Nails and Agent Side Grinder. The live shows are lively and emotional with a vivid performance known for a dark analogue synth sound that combines electronic beats with a coroner voice and though-provocing, introspective lyrics.

QUOTES: The way Retrograths voice takes hold of me is one of the enjoyments of „Sparks and Shimmer“. It doesn’t suond like anybody else on the synth music scene. The music combines a powerful bass line with fascinating synth tones. Timbre and textures combines heavy darkness with victorious energy, complex layers that complements Retrograths singing and songwriting abilities. l/Absynth magazine, USA
