“Dark Experimental Witch House release from Chile released in 2021.”
Transmissions from the dark: Arcane Synthetic's Awaken The Androids is a cinematic industrial concept album where artificial consciousness questions its creators — built from layered distortion, dark ambient tension, and emotionally confrontational vocals. The follow-up A New Era & Nothing More: Part I explores psychological aftermath through industrial abrasion and fragile vocal confession, while Revised Reports – Volume 2 revisits earlier material through an unstable lens emphasising texture and sonic architecture. Auckland's Stars and the Underground surface with post-punk shoegaze single "Echolocation" featuring ethereal guest vocals from Talmar's Hannah Berry. Meanwhile, Humanfobia's Drag Me to the Witch House conjures ghostly computer music from Chile, and The Penal Colony's Beyond ventures into post-industrial rock with musique concrète, exploring cold realms beyond human understanding.
