Magenta Skycode - 2026 European DSR label black 8-track 2LP set Reissue

Compositions of sadness and helplessness…

The 1996 cult album by the Finnish Darkwave / Gothic Rock band THIS EMPTY FLOW, finally available for the current generation of fans of dark sounds again.
Originally released by Italian cult-label Avantgarde Records, Magenta Skycode is an ethereal Darkwave masterpiece that has stood the test of time as one of the crucial albums of the 90s Darkwave movement.

Formed by two former members of the Finnish Funeral Doom trailblazers THERGOTHON, THIS EMPTY FLOW transcended its Heavy Metal roots to create something entirely unique and atmospheric. The result was an album that merges melancholic Shoegaze with the lush soundscapes of ethereal Wave, establishing a distinctive and ultimately influential style.

The album’s eight tracks clocking in at more than 50 minutes including highlights like the sprawling opener “Nowafter” and the evocative “Snow Blind,” are characterized by dreamlike vocals and layered instrumentation.Do yourself a favour and grab a copy of this lavish rerelease and experience Magenta Skycode – a bridge between different genres and an example of how raw, intense emotion can be translated into stunningly beautiful art.
For fans of THE CURE, SLOWDIVE or ANATHEMA.
