Hear Morwan’s hypnotic new goth dirge, “Без обличчя (Bez oblychchya)”

On Oct. 17, Ukrainian goth/coldwave duo Morwan release their fourth album, Vse po Kolu, Znov (All in a circle, again) via Feel It. And today, they’ve shared the first single, “Без обличчя (Bez oblychchya)”, which translates to “without a face.” Hypnotic and minimalist but undeniably heavy, the song rides a droning synth groove and a muscular bassline that’s reminiscent of early Swans layered with early ’80s DIY coldwave. It’s raw and intense, but with an immediacy that draws you in closer to the darkness. Hear it below and see the song’s video.

A statement about the album reads: “Vse po Kolu, Znovu is a story about fears tearing you apart from within and conflicts that give you no peace. It’s about the endless cycle of existence, pulling you into the vortex of inevitable dread. It tells of the moment when control over yourself slips away, and you become a helpless observer, forced to watch your life crumble before your very eyes. It’s about the rejection of oneself, about the desperate desire to escape your own essence and return to the beginning, just to feel something real once again.”
