Best Darkwave of 2025!! My #1 album is Haunt Me (TX)! I flew to NYC to see them this summer, and then got to see them in Denver. Love these guys. Lithuania came out as a powerhouse this year for this genre, and my #2 Ghostwave put out an incredible album. Also check out Pusto. I listed Mass Minor (TX) as the best surprise live shows I went to this year - opening for Urban Heat. They only put out an EP and a single this year, but they are one to watch. A lot of this list are "ones to watch". (0:25-4:07) #1: HAUNT ME (TX), album - Watch You Bleed Filthy (4:07-8:52) #2:...
