German dark electro pop act Darkness On Demand return with brand new album ‘Digital Outcast’ in September

Alfa Matrix surprised everyone this year with the release of Darkness On Demand’s last singles “Hang On” and “Female Grace” later followed by the exclusive EP “Final Way”.

The Belgian label is indeed well known to welcome cult musicians from the good old late 80’s dark electronic scene to their label roster! Back in the days, the Berlin boys Wagner and Falgalas inaugurated the repertoire of now cult label Machinery Records as members of the Dance Or Die The Band was often described as the first band building the bridge between EBM industrial and cold wave gothic music, between Front 242 and Sisters Of Mercy…

Since 2017, they continue intelligently merging moody melodic electronics, dark poignant expressive vocals and upbeat frontal EBM industrial assaults under the Darkness On Demand moniker (with the same DOD acronym) with a strong and engaged lyrical focus bridging science fiction themes with major issues of our current society.

In September 2023, comes Darkness On Demand ’s 3rd full length studio album aptly titled “Digital Outcast”, a major call for freedom of art & expression, heavily criticizing autocratic regimes, mass-media manipulations, freedom restrictions… more The album also reminds us how prophetic dystopian science fiction novels like “Brave New World” or “1984” were and are.

As Wagner explains it, “Our new album “Digital Outcast” is an invitation to reconnect with nature and reality, to escape the digital world dominated by artificial social media and consumption. Our world has so much more to offer than that!”.

Between classic dark electro and modern EBM, Darkness On Demand compose highly melodic club electro tracks with addictive, dark and soulful melodies, pounding beats, incisive synth sequences and Wagner’s charismatic vocals. “Digital Outcast” is a colorful sound palette full of variety. Expressive gloomy midtempo synth pop songs like “Flowers”, “Hang On” or the heartbreaking “Tragedy”. Frontal EBM industrial assaults like “Female Grace”, “Last Attack”, “Reactor 4” and “Ban Of Truth” to dark electro gems like “Skygazer” or “White Clouds”.

Darkness On Demand are known for not submitting to any music trend and shouting their critical ideas and views out loud without any restrictions. They use their creative energy to keep improving their own style, and that’s what makes them so authentic.
