Perturbator - "Dethroned Under A Funeral Haze" ["Lustful Sacraments" - 2021]

[@ShrimpOfDeath]

Despite the release date, this track is no joke.

[@DyingWater]

Interesting 90s gothic and industrial vibes, even some 80s Vangelis reference.. quite hooked now!

[@sachimi_ggz]

I like how you are evolving and not just running in circles like many other darkwave artists. Since xcess I knew this will get really good.

[@tom_stephen]

Wanted to shout "this is not darkwave!!! this is synthwave!!! don't make another "wave" for anything!", then the first sound came in and I realised it is indeed darkwave, in its true, old-school goth meaning. Moral of that? Never try to read comments before listening at least half of a song.

[@aaron_d_henderson1984]

yeah i like how perturbator became darkwave starting with excess. just proves that artists are allowed to change genres and still make good music.

[@ziggyl699]

His first albums were Cyberpunk themed. Take a look at his earlier videos. Most had cyber punk anime clips... he even had one video with clips of the Blade Runner movie. Mostly he had a synth cyber punk sound always dreaming of the future. " The price of failure " song being one if my favs.

[@NazarovVv]

That's because he's an artist and not a hype riding disc jokey

[@DaisiesTC]

@@ziggyl699 yes that would be the synthwave that Tom mentioned lol

[@Neurofrost]

My heart skipped a beat thinking it was an April Fools joke. Glad it wasn't.

[@romanfranky]

when Perturbator is suddenly also Moonspell and Type-O-Negative, amazing.

[@rvfiasco]

Thank you for existing, James.

[@WITHFULLFORCE66]

Some „Sisters of Mercy“ and „Fields of the Nephilim“ vibes, quite cool 🤘🏻

[@michaelc5584]

Dude totally!

[@iDEATH]

Yes! Also "Black Tape for a Blue Girl." Very 90s darkwave, Projekt Records and Nettwerk, plus a little Cold Meat Industry experimental noise towards the end. I love it.

[@derjudge23]

yes! definitly

[@alt_7845]

lustful sacraments is looking to be my new favorite album this year

[@kitten2831]

Same here. Love the name of the album.

[@collt091]

Same

[@samwellfrm]

Perturbator is basically post-punk at this point

[@samwellfrm]

And this is a good thing

[@magicmorris1692]

Nicely divided your comment into two parts :D Almost got me

[@kazuhiramiller2121]

That's surreal, I'm loving every second of it

[@nild9153]

Why even categorize Perturbator

[@samwellfrm]

@@nild9153 because categorizing things is a universal human habit, and in this case I'm pointing out how Perturbator made a connection to another 80s nostalgic music genre that I enjoy.

[@josephtekieli4686]

I'm personally getting strong Depeche Mode vibes from this. Convinced me to preorder. Well done!

[@KristobaldoWariat]

Exactly! Thank you, I thought I was the only one :)

[@mariuszges9611]

same here

[@johnsmith-ck4qt]

Yeah. The singers voice is pretty similar. Was thinking about it too, when i first hear it.

[@raphiki2]

Depeche mode & type o vibes

[@alcalamusic]

most anticipated album of the year

[@collt091]

Damn right

[@coleciervo5454]

I really really like the combination of your trademark dark synthwave sound with 80s Depeche Mode-esque vocals with this album. Every song is a banger, and the vocals are some of my favorite out of all your albums. The contrast in energy makes the heavy synth parts, like the end of Secret Devotion, sooo much more impactful. Really incredible

[@theblackpearlofbraavos]

I can't imagine a moment where I fall out of love with your work. Thanks for the new track🖤🖤

[@virtusvoid6310]

The atmosphere of this song is insanely satisfying!💀🖤

[@kitten2831]

Incredibly & insanely satisfying.

[@mayro4803]

It keeps bringing me back for more!

[@cguytheguy6739]

I can't believe it. It's even more than i hoped for. Like it really captures the Raw appeal of Perturbator's music and brings something new. Damn. Our frenchy artist is just getting better.

[@DestructorN7]

This change to a more post-punk kind of sound is definitely great. I'm looking forward to listen the whole thing

[@orion1899]

Peter Steele smiles upon thee from the other side of that light

[@motivationcats3695]

Musically, this was not what I was expecting. But it's still awesome. Well....I did expect a new Perturbator song to be awesome so I guess I got that.

[@VoidySan]

So delightful it kinda hurts. I can't wait to find out the lyrics.

[@rvfiasco]

Same, I really want to know them so I know what I'm singing.

[@laxpors]

Is that the album art? It looks like some ancient ceremony or something. Really different than any synth-wave stuff I've seen before. Perturbator is one of the most innovative synth artists right now, with "New Model" being one of the darkest and unique albums I've ever heard. Along with his amazing side project "L'enfant De La Forest", this guy is changing the game in many ways. I'm excited to see what direction this album will go in!

[@tom_stephen]

Most importantly, both this track and "Excess" aren't really synthwave anymore. They have some parts of that genre, but they are more relevant to post-punk or darkwave genres. Still they absolutely blast these genres (though with post-punk revival lately going strong, Perturbator has nice competitor at least).

[@etZZeUs]

Unfortunitly, carpenter brut didnt get the same response from the Community with 'fab tool'. :( But i'm really excited for this album.

[@laxpors]

@@etZZeUs Well to be Fab Tool was pretty interesting, but it didn't build as good as an atmosphere as this song I'd say. Maybe it will grow on me, who knows.

[@jonathandenny2870]

[@TotemoOishii]

Absolutely incredible that I can hear something that feels fresh and new, yet takes me back to the mix tape collection my dad had put together by the mid-90s. I can't wait for the full album.

[@KIBITKO]

I’m letting my arms down My skin has turned to grey Leaving this place now Finally passing away Body face to the ground I won’t see another day Only waste for a crown Let me turn into decay More art and value in 8 lines than in a 100 hours of 2077.

[@yol_n]

For what it is, still a great game. If it was what the developers actually wanted it would be the game of the century. Maybe the sequel ;)

[@bartsbartsen8126]

This guy is a musical genius! All hail to Perturbator! 🤘

[@Areez]

Type O Perturbator

[@sunlesshorizon7832]

Man that ending is incredible, so stoked

[@levihuvila7106]

this came out when I worked at a recycling plant. full of radiation, plastic, etc. that's what I always see when I look at this cover. now I work at a foundry, and that reminds me of the ceiling aspect of the picture.. I have lived a strange life.

[@xSpooKee]

Love the direction perturbator is going since the New Model. Can’t wait for this

[@magnuskevinsen2380]

Perturbator never disappoints. From Hotline Miami through the Uncanny Valley to see the New Model... After countless times Ive seen him live, alone or with a band, and a few years of silence, now he's finally back!

[@VoidwalkerAudio]

Wow! Long live Perturbator! Thank you for putting out all this great music. I have been in love since ‘Terror 404’. Greetings from South Florida, USA 🇺🇸.

[@simpcatcher131yes7]

He really is starting to sound like filmmaker and other niche artists with their own genre. This albums gonna be sick

[@Doomseen]

Man, never be afraid of doing new things with your music. Every new style you show us is great, keep it that way!

[@user-jt7yq2rh1x]

It sounds great! So excited for the album 🖤

[@CultOfDraven]

This is incredibly beautiful! Gothic Psychedelic textures for every satisfaction!

[@Herknungr]

[@shaoyafei]

[@neoavenir]

I remember when he teased this on his instagram on september 2018 oh god yes it’s here! i’m glad i waited!

[@misomor3149]

I always loved his slower and more atmospheric tracks as much as his bangers. Perturmaester never dissapoints!

[@Ghrrk]

So pumped for this album. This track is great and a nice evolution for your sound. Planning to buy the vinyl when it drops.

[@martinezz8268]

This track is so sick that i need a quarantine

[@lechgolas6400]

I don't think it's made with intention, but sounds like a remix of some track that could be originally on Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2, and that track was the astral version. I don't think and not saying it's something bad, that game score was heavy and dark as hell. It sound stunning indeed and I feel it's logical step forward in creative process, get back to old tunes from two albums before New Model using experience especially from the lastest one and giving it a new atmosphere and tunes, but I am very very curious if James ever played it.

[@lechgolas6400]

And yeah some Depeche Mode feel there is for sure, from the very first seconds, but much more Soul Reaver touch for the whole song.

[@Seniorsaturno]

@@lechgolas6400 name of the song of Legacy of kian: Soul Reaver 2?

[@inakilukac]

@@Seniorsaturno ok so i'm also a huge fan of that game but i'm not sure what song he means. maybe this one? "Soul Reaver 2 OST - Caves" kzbin.info/www/bejne/eovVhmqce7d3qLM

[@lechgolas6400]

​ @Mr Saturn Sorry, I haven't seen that somebody replied. Well, I didn't mean any particular song. I wrote "a remix of some track that could be...". Of course this song isn't similar to any from that game when it comes to melody. I mean, lower tones from the song are similar to those from LoK. I don't know, maybe you haven't ever played those games, it was my instant reference. I'm also a fan of Depeche Mode like probably many people here seeing the comments, but I couldn't point any song that gives me the same feelings. Maybe some details in the background from SOFAD album. Honestly I confused soundtracks from Soul Reaver 1 and Soul Reaver 2. My bad. But still, I can sense some tones that could fit to the Perturbator's song. Ok, if you want songs that give me those sense then try out those from SR1: Sunlight Glyph Suspense, Tomb Pillars Combat, Necropolis and Necropolis Combat. From SR2 this could be literally any song in spectral version. Try The Caves Danger Spectral. Sorry, maybe I am handicapped, but I can't put it in other words.

[@lechgolas6400]

@@inakilukac Nope, in fact I confused both soundtracks from SR1 and SR2, I sensed more similarities of song's lower tones to tracks from SR1, but somehow I wrote about SR2... But soon after I realised that there are much similarities in SR2 too, the first track that came to my mind was The Pillars. Don't you have any associations with LoK music?

[@timokomulainen]

It's ever more evident new Perturbator's not my cup of tea, The Uncanny Valley representing the prime for me. However, I admire the artist going his way, through perpetual metamorphosis - as we all should.

[@MM-qk9wx]

Well said, friend. I adore this new phase, but it is a sound I have adored from before Perturbator. Thank you for respecting the evolution. We are all on the same side. Happy music hunting, friend.

Honestly, synthwave, and darksynth especially, was getting pretty stale by the turn of the decade. This new postpunk style is incredibly refreshing. Feels great to rediscover Perturb all over again.
