Album artwork

Fire starts slowly with ominous synths, but from the moment pMad‘s voice takes
over, the tension swells instantly and turns this Doomsday piece of forth and back
music, pushed by crashing electronics and nervous guitars, into a sonic warning
omen. More dark-waves from pMad, more dark clouds in the sky.

Key lines

Hate Hate Hate
just become the norm
Fire Fire Fire
All we do is mourn

You tell us a pack of lies
That it will be soon
That it will be soon
But when is that?
But when is that?

The Fire is rising
The Fire is rising
The Fire is rising rising
The flames are rising

Riveting Rockabilly Vibes With pMAD On His Brand New Rad Single ‘DOWN’

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to load your batteries

15 February 2023

Artist: pMAD
Who: The moniker of Irish post-punk, gothic rock artist Paul Dillon
from Portumna, Co. Galway in Ireland. He has been described as;
“If The Cult and The Mission had a child this is what it would sound like”.

Last year he released his pretty special
debut full length
Who Why Where What.

And now here’s new rad single DOWN .

“The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil that arises
when personal safety and self-worth are threatened, reminding us
that until we confront these issues, the cycle of suffering will persist.
However, with the power of self-reflection and a realisation of life’s
value, one can choose to break free from the cycle and reclaim their
self-esteem and identity.”

TUTV: Down is a riveting rockabilly-infused pick-me-up cracker
with a Batman Theme-like groove as its backbone. Rotating guitar
riffs, speedy rhythm, yearning vocals. pMad has as much lust for
life as Iggy Pop had. So should we all have.

“My life is worth living
My Life is worth living
You’re in my head
Now that I am alone

We Begin Again
We Begin Again
We Begin Again”

Irish Darkwaver pMAD Warns For Devils And Demons On New Single ‘SISTERS’

Posted on by JL

New striking strokes

5 September 2022

Artist: pMAD
Who: The moniker of darkwave musician Paul Dillon
from Portumna, Co. Galway in Ireland</e

New single; SISTERS

It’s pMad’s take on those we love gone too soon. They don’t go away very far, they walk beside us every day… having left such an impression on us! They are still loved, still missed and a very important influence on our lives.

Sisters circles around a repetitive shady bass riff, the beating heart of this doom
and gloom groove. All over it glimmering guitar lines – think of Interpol‘s 6-string
brilliance – cause shimmering flashes while pMad‘s twilight vocal timbre make the mourning picture of missed loved ones complete.

Soul-stirring and idiosyncratic with unanswered
questions about the future. Someone should turn
up the bright lights.

Hold your head up high
and be proud

The devils and the demons
The devils and the demons
will always be there

Be careful what you wish for
Be careful what you wish for
It may not always be fair

Caring Irish Darkwave Musician pMAD Releases ‘HORROR’ Single For Environmental Charity

Posted on by JL

Daily electricity to load your batteries

13 June 2022

Artist: pMAD
Who: Caring darkwave
musician from Ireland.

New single: HORROR
“This is pMad’s s take on the world and the future in front of us.
Like the future of the planet ‘Horror’ is dark & brooding with
the hint of possible hope!”

Turn Up The Volume: On hearing this nightmarish reflection for the first time this
thought popped up in my mind: if Pink Floyd would be an obscure Goth act today, their 1973 masterpiece would be titled the Dark Side Of Earth.

An alarming record about humankind destroying our warmed-up planet. Many of us are aware of the ongoing destruction and react, but too many ignore the problems and too many just don’t care about the lives of future generations.

pMAD’s message is loud and clear and scary. This horror needs to stop. NOW!

Buy the track here on Bandcamp and
support a environmental charity organisation.
