Marking the 50th release from PulseMeld, Dark Shadows is a powerful milestone — a cinematic, emotionally charged electronic rock album produced by Judith Whittaker.

The record plunges deep into themes of love, distance, fury, and survival, weaving pulsing synths, haunting guitars, and raw vocals into a storm of sound. From the relentless drive of Reckless to the heartbreaking intimacy of Tears For You, every track feels like a chapter in a shadowed journey.

Dark Shadows isn’t just another record — it’s a statement piece. Equal parts vulnerability and fire, it blends the darkness of gothic atmosphere with the energy of modern electronic rock, offering listeners both catharsis and connection.

As PulseMeld’s landmark 50th release, this album celebrates everything the project stands for: pushing boundaries, amplifying emotion, and redefining the sound of tomorrow.

Time To Leave

Lyrics:

Let it rain, overwhelm, sweep away, the old order 
It is time, for glaciers, to descend, break down borders

We set it off, this cascade, these dark boulders 
And as the shards of yesterday, tumble down, we are older 

Everything I wanted to be is consumed by plunging debris
Every sound that I'd ever heard is replaced by a single word
Deep, deep

In the avalanche, in the avalanche, in the avalanche is you

After the noise of the surge comes the silence
Amplified, worlds collide, we cry out, in defiance

Everything I wanted to be is consumed by plunging debris
Every sound that I'd ever heard is replaced by a single word
Every face that I'd ever known, buried by unstoppable flows
Every future, every past, covered by a moment so vast
Deep, deep

In the avalanche, in the avalanche, in the avalanche with you 

In the avalanche, in the avalanche, in the avalanche of you

lead pencil on a page
wearing it down for days
receipts found in my car
stained napkins on a bar
beige coffee cold and bland
black ink smeared on my hand
eyes tired and burning red
I’ll sleep when i’m dead

I am the writer
you are the subject
emotion denier
the heart is an object
we are the exception
to every rule
I am the writer
you are the subject
it’s all about you
every word

down where the type is set
and light a cigarette
them pages weigh a ton
going to turn them one by one
old paper, yellow tint
dog ears and faded print
and when my numbers up
I’ll hang it up

I am the writer
you are the subject
emotion denier
the heart is an object
we are the exception
to every rule
I am the writer
you are the subject
it’s all about you
every word

I am the Writer

Bored of being stuck in bed ill and weak (nothing bad), I plugged my tele and keyboard straight into my iPad. The bass idea is borrowed. Built the rest around it.

Daydream

CAUTION. DO NOT LISTEN WHEN YOU GOT A FRAGILE SOUL AND PSYCH. EXPLICIT DISTURBING CONTENT!

Really can't tell what happened. It seems like being at the place with my parents in law unlocks specific regions in my brain. Together with the fact, that i am always dreaming the weirdest stuff you can imagine, it gave me a blast from another dimension.

I dont know if you have seen the movie "Event Horizon" yet, so please note, that there is a certain SPOILER in the text now. #### SPOILER#### I always loved this movie and no matter how many times i watch it, it still gives me the same kind of creeps when i see it. My absolute most exciting scene is when Dr. appears again with no damn eyes in his eyeholes..... 

The male protagonist, played by Lawrence Fishburn asks then, fully in the  unbelievable expression of like there are no fking eyes... "Oh my god, what happened to your eyes"  being answered with this absolute horrible sentence :"Where we're going, you wont need eyes to see".
#####SPOILER END####
With this mindset, i created this song, and i am honest with you, i did not because of Halloween, i was never a big fan of it, as it is not really a local tradition here in Austria, but.... lucky coincidence.... it totally fits into this foggy and wet and dark days as well as helps me to get rid of the unspeakable stuff which sometimes happens to occur up in my gray matter.

With these words... i just hope you are able to actually "enjoy" this absolute horrible peace of "music"..... have fun and to those who celebrate -> Happy Halloween!!! <3

Your insane sonic servant from hell, or any place worse than that....

This is the last upload on my cloud for the year, although I have a few collabs yet to finish. I will then take some time out, as quite a lot of things on my plate, among them moving house.
As always take good care out there, and let your love flow <3<3<3

Strange Boat ( Waterboys Cover)

We all think we’re the hero
of our story
Fighting evil 
covered in glory
What if I’m not the hero, 
What if I am the villain.
Am I just ones and zeroes?
And my brain still reptilian?
I can’t cry
I don’t know why
What is wrong 
With me?
I can’t cry
Sometimes I wonder why
I’m not sure what happened
to me
La La La La La…
Ever have that feeling 
that you’re not sure if you’re awake or dreaming?
Ever want to jump out of your skin
and run down the street screaming?
What if I’m not the hero, 
What if I am the villain.
Am I just ones and zeroes?
Or my brain still reptilian?
It’s not that I’m afraid
or embarrassed to cry
It’s not that I’m too manly
or have never tried
I can’t cry
I don’t know why
What is wrong 
With me?
I can’t cry
Sometimes I wonder why
I’m not sure what happened
to me
La La La La La…
I can’t cry
Sometimes I wonder why

I Can't Cry (I Don't Know Why)

Bleaklow: a windswept gritstone plateau in the Dark Peak area of Derbyshire. In amongst the stark features of this wilderness are peat bogs, heather moorland, the sad site of a B29 plane wreck and The Wain Stones. Two of these boulders form the amazing 'Kissing Stones' - an inspiring sight for those who venture up there.

Bleaklow Blues (The Kissing Stones)

Welcome to my final release of 2020 and i thought this song was a good way to wrap up my year of recording  and music and film making .
For most artists and creatives its been a very tough year but i always see light at the end of the tunnel and this song is about keeping faith and having hope and to not stop what you enjoy doing and hopefully it entertains and engages those who listen ..
I would like to than all those artists and friends that have supported and been there for my music [you know who you are ]and much love to you all..keep going and keep creative
