Portuguese darkwave project Decline And Fall is thrilled to release the music video for "Gloom", the haunting title track from their debut EP. The Gloom EP was released in May and features four evocative tracks, each creating a dense and disturbing atmosphere with glimpses into the darkest corners of the human psyche.
Armando Teixeira, a pioneer of EBM and industrial in Portugal, brings his vast and award-winning experience to the project. Known for his influential work with Ik Mux, Bizarra Locomotiva, and Balla, among others, Teixeira's return to his roots in post-punk, new wave, and industrial is marked by a matured artistic vision and evolved technical expertise.
Joining him is Ricardo S. Amorim, author of Culto Eléctrico and Wolves Who Were Men – The History of Moonspell, and Hugo Santos from Process Of Guilt, whose exploration of heaviness and rhythmic intensity adds a unique dimension to the project. Link
