Morte Psíquica, the post-punk/darkwave solo project of multi-instrumentist Sérgio Pereira, currently based in Montreal, Canada, just released today its new album entitled "Suite Nº Zero", the second full-length work after "Fados do Além" of 2016, and again like its predecessor it's also sung completely in Portuguese.

The tracks "Olham e Sorriem", "Sensações Descontroladas" and "O Conforto do Desconforto", were already featured in the 2018 EP: "Maneirismos", unlike the one we present in this post "Labirinto", one of the songs written and produced to debut in this new album.

Bal Onirique - "Elixir Rubeus"

Bal Onirique is a Portuguese goth-rock band founded in Porto, in the year of 2005, by P.A. (vocals), David T.R. (guitars) and Francisco (bass), to which later joined the project Al berto (drums) and Jorge O. (guitars).
Ever since that moment, and quoting the band themselves, Bal Onirique have been journeying: "between the sacred and the profane, in a fragmented mixture of hate, passion, eroticism, insanity, love and death, influenced by moments and reflections painted here and there with a symbolic fin de siècle palette and oriental reminiscences."
In 2006, they edit the demo tape "Nadja Surround", containing the first four original songs, and in the following year the CD single: "Jádis et Naguère", the band's first recorded track, is released.
Much later in 2012, a special 7" vinyl edition limited to 200 copies is launched to the World, including two songs recorded earlier, one of which is the one presented bellow: "Elixir Rubeus", and the other: "Morrer... Dormir... Sonhar... Amar... Talvez!!!"
More recently, Bal Onirique had great pleasure to be the opening act for the Fields of the Nephilim show at Hard Club Porto, back in March 2018, eight years after the Goth giants stepped Portuguese territory, a ceremony which the band will never forget.
The current line-up of Bal Onirique still includes the original members P.A, David T.R, Jorge O. (now on bass), and Al berto, being João R.S. (keyboards), the only non-original member nowadays.

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.
