/r/darkwave
The term darkwave originated in the 1980s as an indicator of the dark counterpart of new wave. Bands such as Cocteau Twins, Soft Cell, and Depeche Mode are exponents of this first generation of darkwave. Darkwave ... employs relatively slower tempos, lower pitches, and more minor keys in its musical settings of melancholy texts than new wave.

Darkwave/EBM producer looking for a duo.
Hi! I'm a Los Angeles based producer who is looking for a duo. I'm an avid listener of darkwave, ebm and industrial music. I'm decent at producing beats, but I've realized I can't do it alone (I hate my vocals). Also, I use FL Studio but willing to work with anything.
Some of my top influences are TR/ST, Boy Harsher, Sextile, IM KELLAR, French Police The Cure, Depeche Mode, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Nine Inch Nails, The Smiths, Depresion Sonora etc..
Feel free to DM and I will share my work.
Happy New Year! :)

Recommend me some good 2020's darkwave, especially if it has a hint of industrial
I would like to get some recommendations for my playlist with lots of darkwave songs, especially made recently. From big musicians to smaller but only the songs that are made in the 2020's.

Chalice Sect - Cut the Lights
Longtime lurker here. Love the music posts here so I wanted to share something I’ve been working on and hopefully get some feedback.
I create music under the name Chalice Sect, blending post-punk, darkwave, and other dark synth rock sounds.
I’d be grateful if you could give it a listen and let me know what you think—production tips, vibe critiques, or any impressions are all super helpful. I’m always trying to refine my sound. thanks!
