Horror Vacui blends early **’80s goth with postpunk in a horror tinged sound**. Their name reflects a **signature style** built on tight guitar driven songs, sing along hooks and vocal lines many of which have become modern goth anthems as for *In Darkness You Will Feel Alright*. Fans of **Corpus Delicti**, **Sisters of Mercy**, **Christian Death, Fields of The Nephilim** and **Killing Joke** will find familiar ground. Their lyrics explore identity, darkness, society and the human psyche with a raw urgency that also defines their live presence and political stances. Formed in 2011 by singer Koppa, HV emerged during the first wave of the modern postpunk wave, alongside bands of friends like The Estranged, Spectres, Belgrado, Deathcharge, The Bellicose Minds and more. All five members are active in the DIY punk and underground scene and are involved in other ongoing projects (Marthe, Vespertina, Bottomless, Assumption, Thysia).
