I started the project about a year ago under the Name White Tusk. I used to be in a band called The Elephant Asylum and was kind of going off the back of that. T.E.A was the ultimate band to be in for me and so once it disbanded I wanted to do something of my own in the same vein. A kind of no rules music that sounds huge and epic, with a lot of passion and feel.

So here we are “Glacial Path” was born once I found a better name than White Tusk. As the project has developed I believe it has taken on its own unique form in that I have made it a concept project based on the birth and growth of our beloved Planet Earth.

I have become so fascinated with our home and feel I can bring to my listeners not just an epic musical journey but hopefully some fascinating facts and insight into the history of this glorious  planet.

As for me. I started my music life on the Drums and got into my first band at 16. It is still my main instrument today. I’ve been playing for 22 (ouch) years….sorry I can’t believe its been that long. I taught my self to start with then had some lessons from a 6th former at school for a couple of years. From then and till 1999 when I went to Drumtech and did a Diploma I was bashing away with out help. Since then I’ve been  on my own again mainly crafting my own style but soaking up ideas and inspiration from the likes of Nicko McBrain, Thomas Haake, Brann Dailor and Nicholas Barker along the way.

One day I had the great idea of buying a guitar and a little 10watt amp (that you will hear in the recordings) I taught myself guitar also and have never had  a lesson…yeah I know it shows LOL….Guitar wise my inspiration started out with Opeth> Then when I joined the band that became The Elephant Asylum they opened me up to a whole new way of playing. I got into bands like Cult Of Luna, Mastodon, Crowbar, Converge  and so on. I have to say, despite all those awesome bands I think my main inspiration for Glacial Path is still The Elephant Asylum and the main Guitarist from that band Leo Stuart


Multi-instrumentalist Dark Smoke Signal is synthwave producer Alex Pope from the new music hotbed of Bristol, UK. An 80’s child, he was raised on a diet of synthpop, Jean Michel-Jarre and prog-rock. As a teenager, Alex began obsessing over 80’s thrash and 90’s heavy metal and played guitar in a succession of ropey bands through the years. After graduating from university with a degree in audio engineering, he started producing local artists which eventually gave him the taste to produce his own material. Discovering the world of synthesizers proved a turning point and Alex went solo, switching up to the world of retrowave but staying true to his roots of hooky melodies and anthemic choruses. Tinkering with filters and envelopes has allowed the repressed inner nerd to flourish again after lost years in the sonic wilderness.

Debut single, The Big Stage was released in August 2018 with all proceeds going to youthmusic.org, a charity for underprivileged kids. Among the follow up singles, Thunder Road and December Rose received 10/10 reviews on Forever Synth and remain the only tracks to do so. His epic, award-winning synthwave story, ‘December Rose’ was featured on the genre leading New Retro Wave channel and also won ‘Best Single’ in the inaugural Forever Synth awards 2019.

Enthused by the initial success of these, DSS signed to Retro Reverb Records for the release of his long-anticipated debut album, ‘The Antipope Resurrection’ that will be landing on March 18th this year.

Flickering in the shadows between the genres of Synthwave and Darksynth, songs are a mix of vocal and instrumental styles retaining a melodic edge the hook the listener in.

DSS has had a fair bit of airplay over the last couple of years across some of the electro-scene’s most well-respected radio shows incl. Artefaktor, Synth City with Rob Harvey, Forever Synth, Space Jams, Beyond Synth, Radio Wigwam and The Russ Evans Electro Show to name a few.

DSS incorporates live synth, sampling, guitar and vocals into his energetic shows that have got followers in the scene talking. This last year has seen him perform at the Retro Reverb Rhythms launch party and also earn support slots opening for the likes of Lebrock, Absolute Valentine and Lazerpunk. The first booking of 2021 is already in the calendar and the line-up, yet to be announced promises to be truly special.
