Horrorwave is a genre that fuses the eerie atmosphere of 1980s retro horror movie soundtracks with pulsating 4-on-the-floor beats typical of Gothic and darkwave music, alongside the nostalgic synthesizer melodies of Synthwave. This blend creates a haunting, cinematic soundscape that evokes feelings of nostalgia and dread, often layered with dark, moody aesthetics reminiscent of classic horror films. Horrorwave invites listeners into a world where the nostalgia of the past collides with a spine-chilling ambiance, making it both a tribute to and a reinvention of horror-themed music.
I saw this really cool HorrorWave band last night at The Bat Club last night. Their set was so ghoulIsh. It was fire.
