California-based darkwave solo artist and live member of synthpop act Harsh Symmetry, SOFT VEIN reveals new single, VIOLENTIA, the follow up to the great debut that was the previous offering, GIVEUPTHEGHOST.
VIOLENTIA takes a more indistinct and obscure approach, sounding murkier and hazier than its predecessor, yet, it's nearly concealed melodicism in no less affective.
Out of focus, enchanting vocals echo over militant drum rhythms, icy synths and sharp guitars, creating an industrial-inspired darkness with danceable properties. VIOLENTIA validates that SOFT VEIN is a steadily increasing force in this realm by paying respect to both early coldwave and modern darkwave in equal measures.
