Slow Danse With The Dead - Eternal Mourning

Released March 15, 2025, by Wave Records, Eternal Mourning is a haunting compilation spanning twelve tracks that define the "miserygoth" aesthetic pioneered by Johnny M, this time enriched by a full band’s presence—bassist Mal Toxisk and guitarist Aaron Hernandez. Melding somber baritone vocals with droning synths, minimalist drum machines, and stark guitar, the album weaves an atmosphere of elegiac beauty and brooding nostalgia. Standouts like “Trend Killer” echo 80s post‑punk coldwave with icy desolation and defiant lyricism, while deeper cuts underscore themes of isolation, loss, and quiet rebellion. As a definitive entry in the genre, Eternal Mourning both compiles the project's best work to date and marks a bold sonic evolution, full‑band performances and polished production that elevate their underground cult status into something mournfully majestic.
