And One & Waiting for Words
Having two legends of Synth Pop on the same bill was worth a trip to Paris. AND ONE and WAITING FOR WORDS have for sure a lot in common. Both formed in the early 90s, with all the challenges that go with surviving three decades in the music world. Both became references and cult acts in their respective country… and both have a strong sense of Independence and doing things their way. Surely, the worldwide success of AND ONE is far above the French act but being from and in Germany explains it all with this style of music.

Interview withJuls Garat (vocals) and Claudio Marcio (guitar) from Pilgrims Of Yearning
One of the most amazing things about writing for Reflections of Darkness is finding out about interesting new artists and music. Today is one of those such days. I am interviewing PILGRIMS OF YEARNING (P.O.Y) - a Boston based Darkwave band whose Chilean roots add a distinct Latino flavour to the music. P.O.Y are made up of Juls Garat (vocals and lyrics), Claudio Marcio (guitar and composer) and Sean Woodbury (bass). It may surprise you to learn that South America has a thriving alternative music scene with some very talented musicians - as I’m quickly learning myself. When I was introduced to the band, I wasn’t’ sure what to expect but let me tell you that I’ve been blown away by every song that I’ve heard!

Prague Gothic Treffen 2023 Day 1 with Noktva, Ductape, Pink Turns Blue, NNHMN, Sydney Valette
Prague Gothic Treffen is undoubtedly one of my most favorite festivals of the entire season. Its uniqueness lies not only in the great selection of bands in the line-up, or the fact that I have known the organizing team for years and they have never disappointed, but also in a certain ease, atmosphere of openness, acceptance and friendship that prevails there.
