MILICENT is a new DarkWave band from Stuttgart, Germany, founded by Valerio Kuhl (programming/lyrics, vocals, synths & guitars) and Simone Mayer (vocals & synths). The 8 songs for the debut album "MYRSKY" were created in 2022 and finally mixed and mastered in early 2023. The complex artwork was designed by the band themselves. The music is a mixture of DarkWave, Post-Punk and Synth-Pop. There are also 80s elements as well as shoegazy guitars and varied electronic beats, sequencers and basses. Valerio and Simone sometimes sing individually, sometimes as a duet.
“MYRSKY” is about isolation, trust, fears, sadness, dreams, nature, hope, love, depression, friendship, regression and darkness. Each song focuses on one of these themes, altogether they form a dark concept album and tell the story of the 17-year-old girl Milicent, who attempts suicide and falls into a coma.
