21st Century Faust (So Bad)

“The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.” 
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
 
“I have been made to learn that the doom and burden of our life is bound forever on man’s shoulders; and when the attempt is made to cast it off, it but returns upon us with more unfamiliar and more awful pressure.” 
― Robert Louis Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

A darkstar is blazing across the night sky. You watch it, you know you shouldn’t but you want to get closer. Want to touch it, to feel it, even to taste it, but most importantly you want to burn with it. You want to self-destruct. Burn out. Tear up your contract with life. Free yourself from the wicked oppression of cognition. 

‘Darkstar’ tells a frantic tale of curiosity, deviance, hedonism and madness. It is a parable cautioning against the pursuit of pleasure, a review of the hedonism paradox and an attempt at creating a self-defeating prophecy so that we don’t end up losing our way down the same dark road as many of our beloved artists gone by... RIP.
  
  “Like a Nick Cave and Hans Zimmer co-produced soundtrack for the film adaptation of Meatloaf’s Bat Out of Hell”, it’s simultaneously dark, epic and kitschy. Les Miserables, space synth and the mental health epidemic thrown together in a rusty blender, producing a bitter juice that both disorientates and inoculates.

The Graves are a glampunk band from Berlin, Germany. Started in 2015 by two friends who bonded over a love of The Cramps, they have seen several line-up changes and incorporated more influence from bands such as The Stooges and The New York Dolls. 

After gigging Berlin to death, one EP and a Debut Album, The Graves held a final concert and funeral and slipped into an indefinite hiatus. 

Their songs ‘Pure Filth’, ‘Daddy Issues’ and ‘I’ve Got A Secret With God’ have been used on such shows as FOX’s ‘Gotham’ and SHOWTIME’s ‘Shameless’. 

They will remembered for their chaotic and theatrical live shows.
