C Z A R I NA "GHOST MACHINE"
Anime meet ethereal darkwave!
Progressive Darkwave and Dark Ethereal Artist C Z A R I N A Unveils Powerful Dystopian Dark Electronic Rock and DNB track, “Ghost Machine”
Galicia, Spain-based New Yorker and Progressive Darkwave and Dark Ethereal artist, CZARINA (styled as C Z A R I N A on all platforms) unveils new dystopian-themed dark electronic rock and DNB track entitled Ghost Machine via German gothic label darkTunes Music Group.
Inspired by the original cyberpunk anime “Ghost In The Shell” by Masamune Shirow, the manga “Battle Angel Alita” by Yukito Kishiro, and ‘90s alternative music, Ghost Machine challenges tyrannical order and oppression with themes of uprising, rebellion and justice, armored with concepts of transhumanism and empowered metaphysical awakenings in an effort to aid the human agenda.
The track opens with tense cascading electronics and a dramatic brass and string ensemble before rapid-firing into massive drum and bass, and intense guitar riffs performed by the artist. Gothic choir chants and CZARINA’s signature haunting wails pave way for a legion of voices announcing “We have come to rise!” before rousing into full-scale tantric dynamics in which CZARINA comes to terms with fate as a manifestation of a woken Fury.

DEAD LIGHTS x MARC MASSIVE "WHEN THE LIGHTS COME DOWN"
Do you believe in fate?
Featuring guest vocals by MASSIVE EGO front man Marc Massive, DEAD LIGHTS present another synthpop banger.
Fame. The addiction to adulation, praise, and success. The folly of chasing it, chasing the highs, at any cost; even being willing to sacrifice the integrity of your art and your person in its pursuit. And, of course, the inevitable pitfalls of attaching your sense of self worth to the fleeting attention of others. ‘When the Lights Come Down' reflects on the realisation that this is utterly fruitless, and the emptiness it can leave after abandoning anything of worth in the pursuit of “more”.
We are very proud that Marc Massive generously contributed his beautiful voice on our new single! What makes it extra special is the fact that it was at a MASSIVE EGO -hosted festival in London (by Synthetic City) that Saul and Richard first met. A year before the start of DEAD LIGHTS. They both performed there with their other bands, unaware of the shared future ahead. Another chance encounter that had big consequences. Do you believe in fate?
NOTE: Bandcamp buyers receive an extra, free, exclusive extended version of the song!
