Darkways is a darkwave band from Barcelona, Spain, blending influences from rock and metal with a passion for exploring the realms of post-punk and synthesizer-based sounds.The band creates a captivating sonic landscape where darkwave sensibilities meet the nostalgic echoes of vintage electronic sounscapes.

Like Italy, Spain developed a lively Gothic/Darkwave-scene early on, from the beginning of the 1980s, but at the time it was overshadowed by acts from England and the USA. Nevertheless, there were bands such as Paralisis Permanente or later Gothic Sex and a broad Electro/Industrial scene, for example Esplendor Geometrico. Since the breakthrough of the World Wide Web, it has become easy for bands and listeners from all over the world to come together and exciting bands from „exotic“ countries are constantly emerging. The Spanish trio DARKWAYS have released several recordings digitally over the last two years and now present „Resonance“, their first album on vinyl and CD…once again discovered and released by YOUNG & COLD RECORDS. The band´s self-description is „Darkwave from Barcelona with influences from Rock and Metal and a passion for electronic sounds and Post-Punk.“ There is a lot of truth in this, but basically it is pure Gothrock in the style of the 90s for long stretches, which is unfortunately rarely heard today. The catchy production and repeated synth-sounds also provide enough material for the Darkwave-clubs, where DARKWAYS are sure to attract some attention. Songs like „Shadowdancer“ and especially „I Like The Night (And The Night Likes Me)“ will quickly find their fans. „Inexistance“ is reminiscent of Guitar Wave with driving drums and Goth-vocals, a mixture that is guaranteed to reach an audience. „Neon Lights“ is not, as one might expect, dedicated to the 80s, but pure 90s Darkwave. „Madness“, on the other hand, rocks hard and is guaranteed to be a live favourite. Finally, „More Than Dreams“ also offers the aforementioned Rock-influences and could also make the album interesting for mainstream listeners. In the end, however, as mentioned at the beginning, it is Gothrock with Darkwave-vibes, high catchiness and pleasantly unaffected vocals. Solid as a rock and with the makings of a surprise success.
