Morte Psíquica - "Fado das Almas"

Morte Psíquica is a post-punk/darkwave project founded in 1993, in Évora, Portugal. With the original line-up consisting of Sérgio Pereira (guitar & vocals), Tiago Borrões (bass) and André Gato (drums), the band made several live acts during this time, and in August 1994 they released their first material in the form of a demo tape.
Despite their positive start, from 1995 onwards the band entered a a large gap being in the shadows, except for some casual jam sessions, an inactive period that would last nearly 20 years, until Morte Psíquica returned in 2014.
Now as a 2 piece act, with programmed drums, it would not be long for the arrival of the first full-length album: "Fados do Além", launched in January 2016, and from which the following track was taken: "Fado das Almas".
In February of the following year, the single "Depois de Amanhã" was released, and it's available on bandcamp for digital purchase, along with two covers: "Contact the Fact" from The Sound, and "Soul in Isolation" from The Chameleons.
Also in the cover theme, it's truly recommended to check on YouTube their great covers of Joy Division: "Isolation", Sisters of Mercy: "Heartland" and Fields of the Nephilim: "Endemoniada".
By the end of 2018, Morte Psíquica launched their last material as of yet, the EP "Maneirismos".
As a band, their last gig was performed in Lisbon, in the Summer of 2016, together with bands like Whispering Sons and Bleib Modern.
Nowadays, the project is based in Montreal, Canada, since Sérgio Pereira moved to Quebec thus changing Morte Psíquica to his solo act, but still making regular live performances in those two cities.

NU:N - "In April of 1984"

One of my favourite tracks from Portuguese band NU:N, "In April of 1984", taken from their first full-length album "Nothing Unveils Nothing", released in late 2014.
NU:N are a goth-rock/darkwave trio formed in Porto, in the year of 2014, and the line-up consist of Tarannis M. B. Genesis on vocals, Pedro Eternal Sleep on guitars and Francisco Vaudeville on bass.
Their discography is so far made of two studio albums, as mentioned above "Nothing Unveils Nothing" (2014) and "Naked Until Noema" (2016), and two EP's: "Ceremonial / Carved Silence", which served as a prelude to the second full-length release and is still available for digital download at their bandcamp, and more recently "I Will Show You Fear in a Handfull of Dust" (2018).
Also available for (free!) download in their bandcamp (link bellow), are two seperate singles, two covers really, one is "Revenge" a darksynth 80's tribute, a cover from the one and only Ministry, and the other is "Morbid Love", a cover and tribute to the Brazilian goth-rock/darkwave band Das Projekt.
NU:N have already shown their dark and mournful sound abroad, in several places around Europe and sharing the stage with a few renowned projects of the Goth scene, such as Grooving in Green, Christine Plays Viola, Aeon Sable... at the Madrid Gothic Week in 2015 and in that same year they also performed at the Sacrosanct Festival in Reading, UK. More recently, in 2018, among other gigs they were in Hamburg with Aeon Sable, and this year at the Prague Gothic Treffen XIV with headliners Covenant.
They will perform live again today, at the RCA Club in Lisbon, along with La Chanson Noire supporting fellow countrymen Phantom Vision. For more about this show click here.
