Pøltergeist Release “Children of the Dark” Single

Albertan deathrock denizens, Pøltergeist, have signed with independent music label Bad Omen Records (Watch Hazel, Satan’s Satyrs). The Canadian new musick trio will release its debut LP, Nachtmusik, on October 25th. Described as a mix of Post-Punk, traditional metal, and shoegaze from the frostbitten plains, Pøltergeist plays propulsive, crypt-kicking coldwave that charts a pathway from the catacombs to the cosmos. Pre order/save Nachtmusik at this location.

Perhaps the most perfect distillation of the Pøltergeist style arrives with ‘Children Of The Dark’, a catchy, tempestuous rocker that also functions thematically on a dual level- not only as Kalen reckons “a call to arms for people who share a passion for underground music” but also arriving via a morbid angle to assault the iniquities of the modern labour market; a Stokerist-critique of late-stage capitalism, if you will, but laden with biting hooks.Pøltergeist today releases a video for “Children of the Dark“, which can be viewed here
