The music of Blue Images features both dance beat and ballad tracks with a distinctive, melodic sound combined with dark and moody vocal stylings.

Blue Images in its inception dates back to 2013 when the first melodies of the debut album were written. Over time, and in many different landscapes and locations, the music of Blue Images took life.

VNV Nation - Noire

2018-11-07 (News)

VNV Nation blends poetic, thoughtful lyrics with a vast repertoire of melodic dance beats and anthemic electronic, haunting ballads and post-classical soundtrack pieces. 'Noire' is a cinematic exploration of contrast, dark and light. From the dark, ominous 'A Million' to the pounding, symphonic 'All Our Sins', to the bright melodies of 'When Is the Future' and 'œGod of All', 'Noire' is a stunning work of art.

Ash Code - Perspektive

2018-11-05 (News)

Ash Code is an Italian Dark Wave band that masterfully blends influences, ranging from early Depeche Mode, The Sisters of Mercy to post-punk, Synthpop, coldwave, & EBM. On the critically-acclaimed album 'Perspektive', Ash Code combines its influences and innovation to create driving, atmospheric Dark Wave devoted to the drum machine, powerful synthesizers and driving bass lines.

"For a band so heavy on atmospherics (and whose name hints at being smudged and indistinct), Ash Code come across as clear as day on their third LP, 'Perspektive'. Partially that'™s a function of their often blunt and repeated lyrical declarations (Give me my life back, There'™s no mercy anymore). But it's also due to a canny sense for arrangement and production which delivers driving, full-impact post-punk instrumentation just as well as it does coldwave drama. The end result is as good a marker as any of how different sub-genres of dark music are intersecting in 2018." - Bruce Lord I Die:You Die.
