As former members of the iconic ’80s act DANE OR DIE, the Berlin band continues to thrive under the DARKNESS ON DEMAND banner. Since 2017, they’ve expertly fused moody, melodic electronics with aggressive EBM industrial beats, balancing noir-like atmosphere with relentless, dancefloor-ready energy. “Panic In Reserve” is a masterclass in blending styles: dark wave melancholy meets high-octane industrial power, all in perfect sync.

Just when this bleak existence seems to have no escape, a sudden alien invasion upends the dull monotony. Is it the end of the world, or the second coming? The line between salvation and destruction blurs in a haze of chaos and confusion.

Wagner and Falgalas, the minds behind this sonic assault, aren’t afraid to confront the harsh realities of politics, religion, and society. Their razor-sharp critiques resonate through every track, reminding us how disturbingly close their dystopian universe is to the one we see on TV every day. In a world gone mad, the question becomes: what will you have left in reserve besides panic?

One of the most appreciated songs by their fans: “White Clouds” is this time reworked in a more upbeat club oriented “maxi version”. A truly addictive dark elektro pearl with a poignant depressive and melancholic tone evoking the band members’ best moments under the past DANCE OR DIE moniker and for which another great video clip was produced! The other floorpacking album track “Last Attack” gets remixed by ANY SECOND who gave a more dark elektro oriented touch to this alien song.

But what makes this new EP even more special is that next to these 2 exclusive new versions/mixes, DARKNESS ON DEMAND offer us 3 brand new exclusive songs with the revolting and anti-war track “Volle Kraft Vorraus”, the hypnotising “Say Hello” calling for rebellion against the system, and the atmospheric and self-reflective “Snow White” that is questioning social medias through the looking glass…

The Berlin boys Wagner and Falgalas continue excelling in merging moody melodic electronics with upbeat industrial EBM and expressive vocals conducting engaged messages in a dystopian world not that far from our current reality.

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 flagship that 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 and all other excesses of our society reminding us how prophetic dystopian social science fiction novels like “Brave New World” or “1984” were…

Like Wagner explains it: “Our new album “Digital Outcast” is an invitation to reconnect with nature and reality, to escape from that digital world dominated by artificial social medias and credit card consumption. Our world has so much more to offer!”.

Between classic dark electro and modern EBM, DARKNESS ON DEMAND compose highly melodic club electro tracks with addictive sinister soulful melodies, hammering beats, incisive synth sequences and Wagner’s unique poignant charismatic vocals. “Digital Outcast” is a colorful sonic palette offering so much diversity leading us through highly expressive mid tempo dark synth pop songs like “Flowers”, “Hang On” or yet the heartbreaking “Tragedy”, but also more frontal dancefloor EBM industrial assaults like “Female Grace”, “Last Attack”, “Reactor 4” and “Ban Of Truth” through captivating dark elektro pearls like “Skygazer” or “White Clouds”.

DARKNESS ON DEMAND are renowned for making no compromise to any music trend, for shouting out loud their critical ideas and point of views without any restriction. They simply enjoy focusing their creative energy on polishing their very own style and that is surely what is making them sound so authentic on the dark elektro scene.

After the release of the video clip for the slow, catchy and dramatic ballad “Hang On” in collaboration with their neo-folk martial side-project WINTERHART, DARKNESS ON DEMAND now strike back at full force with the powerful 6-track EP “Final Way”’ before the release of their new “Digital Outcast” album announced for a September 2023 release.

Today we are revealing the first song from the new “Digital Outcast” album coming out in September 2023: a very non-representative tune actually for DARKNESS ON DEMAND’s more aggressive electro style, but such a beautiful ballad that nicely sets the tone of the album’s shout for freedom!

“Hang On” gets released here in a collaboration version together with their neo-folk martial side-project WINTERHART. Dramatic echoing piano lines and orchestral synth arrangements beautifully leave room to these almost depressive dark and touching vocals you will quickly sing along with, and that will bring back memories of the claustrophobic moments of the Covid19 lockdown and all the societal excesses and abuses it generated.

Also check the video clip filmed for this song!
“Hang on… Kill the system! Now we want FREEDOM!”.
