The Darkwave band A PROJECTION from Stockholm is known for their powerful and energetic live shows and their sound has been described as “a danceable mixture of dark wave and electronica, with both depth and edge”. Having released three full-length albums, the band has so far stayed rather firmly rooted in the post-punk genre. With their latest singles ‘Darwin’s Eden’ and ‘No Control’, however, A PROJECTION is entering a more electronic realm, placing themselves in the intersection between the synth and post-punk music of the 80s and a more contemporary electronic sound. The new single ‘Careless’ is continuing that path and give a pretty accurate foretaste of the upcoming album, that will be released on Metropolis Records later this year.- Details

Metropolis Records mourns the death of our founder and president, Dave Heckman (1954-2022). Dave passed unexpectedly on Friday, July 29th and is survived by his wife Gail, and their two children, Colin and Nina. Dave leaves behind an indelible mark on the world of underground music. In 1991 he and Gail opened Digital Underground, a record store near South Street in Philadelphia. The store found a niche importing hard to find Industrial and Darkwave CDs from Europe. This success inspired him to start Metropolis Records in 1993 with the first release arriving in 1994 with the obscure neoclassical German band LOVE IS COLDER THAN DEATH. Metropolis would go on to release albums by FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, KMFDM, SKINNY PUPPY, FRONT 242, JUNO REACTOR, SHE PAST AWAY, CLAN OF XYMOX, THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE, DELERIUM, BAUHAUS, MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE, amongst the nearly 1,300 releases to date.- Details
