Aerik Von's 'Season of the Witch': A Synthwave Ode to Classic Horror

 

Aerik Von, a rising star in the dark synth and synthwave scene, has reinvigorated the Halloween spirit with his latest single "Season of the Witch." Released under Digital City Records, this track is a haunting homage to the eerie atmosphere of classic horror films, blending dark synth elements with horror soundtrack undertones. The single, which initially did not receive the promotion it deserved, is now being given a new lease on life. "We wanted to ensure that 'Season of the Witch' reaches the right audience, enveloping them in its atmospheric sound," says Aerik Von, emphasizing the track's captivating essence. His mastery of synthesizers and programming brings forth a soundscape that is both nostalgic and fresh, appealing to fans of John Carpenter and contemporary synth artists like Carpenter Brut and Dance with the Dead. "Season of the Witch" stands out as more than just a Halloween anthem; it's a testament to the enduring appeal of horror-infused synth music. Aerik Von skillfully transports listeners to shadowy, autumnal streets, evoking images of dimly lit alleys and the thrill of spooky October nights. This release is not only a nod to the lovers of iconic synth sounds but also a beacon for those who revel in the darker, more atmospheric aspects of music. Aerik Von’s "Season of the Witch" is a hauntingly beautiful journey through sound, proving that the spirit of Halloween can be captured and celebrated through the power of music.

AC/DC’s former drummer Chris Slade explains how the band operated when he was with them.

 

“THEY’D JUST LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND OFF WE’D GO. IT WAS LIKE ANGUS AND MAL COULD READ EACH OTHER’S MINDS. I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.” AC/DC’s former drummer Chris Slade explains how the band operated when he was with them.   Rock Candy Magazine Issue 41 Out Now Featuring AC/DC.     NOVEMBER 30, 2023 - Speaking exclusively to Rock Candy Mag as part of an in-depth 20-page AC/DC coverstory analysing ‘The Razors Edge’ period of the band’s history, Slade told writer Andrew Daly about the group’s mysterious inner workings.   “What I found out was that there are a lot of things left unspoken in AC/DC,” explained the drummer. “Most of what’s ‘said’ between Angus and Mal isn’t said. They didn’t need to talk.” Slade was new into the band before the recording of ‘The Razors Edge’ in 1990 and he found that things were left unspoken in his audition too. “Malcolm and Angus set up chairs, watched me playing the whole time, and said nothing. Afterwards they asked me if I wanted anything. I asked for a cheese sandwich and a coffee – and that was it. I was in AC/DC.”   The Welshman played on ‘The Razors Edge’ album and enjoyed two separate stints with AC/DC. He had previously been in Manfred Mann’s Earth Band and The Firm with Jimmy Page. But did he know that ‘The Razors Edge’ was going to be such a big album?   “I didn’t spot it… Sometimes you can spot it, other times you can’t. I felt very much like that when we did ‘Blinded By The Light’ with Manfred Mann. But it wasn’t that way with ‘The Razors Edge’ at all. I had no idea that ‘Thunderstruck’ was going to be AC/DC’s biggest song ever, and I had no idea that we’d made a special album.”   You can read our 20-page AC/DC special, together with many other fascinating stories about Jesse James Dupree, The Almighty, Jim Vallance, Trust, and more in issue 41 of Rock Candy Mag.
