This is Totenwald
Amongst the smoke-filled basements of the Berlin underground lurks the dark punk quartet Totenwald. Existing as an anomaly in their scene since 2014; they are more inspired by the early 80s roots of Berlin’s anarcho punk and Neue Deutsche Welle sound rather than more typical punk or hardcore tropes. Their unique, signature style is as eclectic as the band members themselves: a hurricane of new wave glitz, chorus-drenched post-punk melodies, and piercing saxophone solos, all under the sway and allure of Trish’s frenetic, echoing tales of resistance to an impending dystopian future.
