Juls 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.

Die Krupps - Live 2023 - Support: Minusheart
40 years ago DIE KRUPPS played one of their first concerts at Krefeld’s KuFa and are returning to this venue for this anniversary. For 40 years, the fathers of Industrial Rock have shaped the music scene and inspired many other artists. DIE KRUPPS are currently spending most of their time in the studio producing the new album with Chris Harms (LORD OF THE LOST). For the penultimate concert in 2023, DIE KRUPPS had many songs from the past years in their luggage. DIE KRUPPS had brought along the band MINUSHEART from Aachen/ Germany as the opening act.
