Suspense & Horror Music

A weird playlist including some dark, scary, moody, intimate, aggressive and heavy tunes in varous genres, ranging from horror soundtracks to dark ambient scoundscapes, from dark techno pieces to black metal and everything in between.

Dark, Eerie, Aggressive & Horror Music I Like

A playlist that - in my mind - conveys a sort of cinematic feeling. Not just original soundtracks to films, TV shows or videogames but music in general that could very well work in that context.
A wide range of styles and moods as weel - from bombastic, epic, huge trailer scores to more intimate tunes, to droning soundscapes, romantic piano pieces and everything in between.

Cinematic Feeling

Area 51 is a downtempo Techno track that captures Morphia's fascination with a secretive futurisic world. Deep and brooding Area 51 is thought provoking and emotional.

Mixed and Mastered by Paul Willocks.

Let It All Out

what did I see in the mirror today when you turned out the lights and my face came away? what did you mean when I called out your name and you told me I look too much like Claude Rains? I don't know what you may think but I know what you're gonna find, the invisible man is still around but he's running out of time. the invisible man wears the emperor's clothes but the heart on his sleeve is all that shows. the telltale beats out confessions clear but he can't make you see what you don't want to hear. i don't know what you may want but I know what you're gonna get, the invisible man is out painting the town just to prove that he ain't dead yet. i'm tired of street lights growing dim when I walk past. I shouldn't have to lose my soul to make things last. Marcel Marceau performs for the blind and the sun and the moon and the stars still shine. could it be that the problem lies in the beautiful beholder's eyes? i don't know what you may think but I know what you're gonna find, the invisible man has just left town and it looks he's doing fine. looks like he's doing fine. looks like he's doing fine.

Love Bomb

"Embark on an interstellar voyage with 'Solaris,' a celestial opus that explores the mysteries of the cosmos. Obsidian's ethereal synths mimic the grandeur of distant stars, creating an ambiance of cosmic vastness. The haunting notes seem to traverse the celestial void, guiding listeners on a cosmic odyssey through the unknown. As the song unfolds, deep bass reverberations simulate the pulse of a distant black hole, while spectral melodies evoke the sense of floating through uncharted galactic realms. 'Solaris' is an immersive journey through the infinite expanse, where the boundaries of space and time dissolve into the celestial symphony."

Uncharted Volume XXXII

Somatic Cell - Visions Of Parvati

When I was young Santa had a beard 
There was no fear.
In December, all went crazy.
Orechnik was here.
Mushrooms appeared so suddenly
in front of me.
It drove me blind, deaf and dizzy.
I cried honey.

Santa this year brought some hardware
Doomsday Christmas.
No one would care.
The trees everywhere are burning like flares 
Doomsday Christmas.
No one would dare.

The Birds in the air keep whistling gently.
I wander there.
I see a man cutting his hair in a strange manner.
The sea is still here. The wind is blowing. 
Waves everywhere.
I watch the sun in front me. It's so hazy. 

Santa this year brought some hardware
Doomsday Christmas.
No one would care.
The trees everywhere are burning like flares 
Doomsday Christmas.
No one would dare.


Doomsday Christmas

the corruption of my rituals

Beyond Tomorrow

Beyond Tomorrow - #DiscoveryCompetition

Indie music maker, available for sound design & music for media.

I grew up with music & technology, and I love them both.
I love many genres but rock and electronic music have a special place in my heart.

Why the name Dark Side of Synth? Because it’s cool and it sums up my fascination with the dark side and with synthesizers. Dark side not just as negative but also as obscure, unknown, unexplored...

Don’t worry, you won’t be finding only darksynth, heavy, scary and sad tunes and tones here but quite a wide range and lots of happy, upbeat things too. Again, it is just a name – not a mission statement set in stone forever.
