Neon Ghosts is our little detour into a completely different world – away from the dark realms, diving into a synthetic ocean of neon lights, retro beats, and cyberpunk melancholy. This synthwave–electro–ambient album is a passion project by Raphaela Hartmann, Sascha Häusler, and Thomas Kaiser – all devoted fans of synthwave and cyberpunk culture.

We simply couldn’t resist exploring this genre ourselves – painting glitch-stars across the digital sky and creating soundscapes that feel like neon rain, chrome dreams, and distant cityscapes.

This is just our first step – an experiment, a side project made with love and pure fun.
If you enjoy our little venture and the feedback is positive, we’ll continue building and expanding this journey.

Welcome aboard – the city never sleeps, and neither do we.

We are NeON dEVIL

Our sound is ritualistic, raw, poetic, and unsettling – a feverish hallucination of lust, madness, and damnation.

This is your first glimpse into our world:
Tracks that whisper like demons and echo like broken prayers.
Listen now – let yourself be seduced.

Yet beneath the surface of distortion and desire, much of what we create is deliberately satirical, infused with dark humor, and framed by a sharp lens of social and systemic critique.
Even in our most explicit expressions, we do not glorify violence or sexuality – rather, we expose and question the very ways they are distorted, repressed, or exploited by society.

We first came together around 2004, initially under a different project name. NeON dEVIL, as it exists today, began to take shape in 2009 with the release of our first official album. We are not bound to a fixed genre. While much of our work lives within the realm of extreme metal, we also draw heavily from other styles — trap, rap, classical music, 70’s psychedelic rock, avant-garde, and at times even pop or swing.
Our influences are vast because each of us comes from a different musical background, and it is essential to us that every member can fully express themselves and feel at home within this project.

NeON dEVIL is a nonprofit music project.
We do not create for profit — all earnings are used exclusively either to support charitable causes or to fund the creation of new music. No part of our income goes anywhere else. The art we make either helps those in need or fuels the fire for our next creation.
