A double concert will open the year of live music for lovers of Gothic and Darkwave, two bands of great experience, lots of records and, at least in the case of Clan of Xymox, tons of musical experimentation.

Clan of Xymox starts in 1984, when Ronny Moorings, Anka Wolbert and Pieter Nooter join the project, which by then was rather based on Darkwave with an electronical background  that made a difference in the sound of the band. The first albums are released by the label 4AD, which include songs such as Muscoviet Mosquito, A Day, Medusa and Louise, among many others. They then begin to experiment with other sounds and the band lineup changes, perhaps the strangest stage is the one of the Metamorphosis album, after that phase of experimentation they return to their dark bases with excellent work such as Hidden Faces and Creatures. The current lineup of the band is: Ronny Moorings, Mojca Zugna, Denise Dijkstra, Jasper Agnes and Mario Usai.

On the other hand, we have The Arch, a band formed in 1987 in Belgium, which to date have at least 10 albums with cult themes that acquire characteristics of true anthems like Ribdancer. A great double bill for a concert that will take much of the past but also from the future, as Clan of Xymox has a new album entitled “Darkest Hour”, there you will have the opportunity to hear the latest of the Dutch Formation and all their hits.

The concert will be held at the  Sala Heineken in Madrid, on January 13, the door opening time is at 20:15 hrs, ticket price is 22 € in advance and 25 €  at the box office. If you are planning a trip to Madrid in January, there is no excuse to miss this event, and if you do not plan to do it, Do it now.
