German darkwave duke Mortes released a modern tribute to the iconic London After Midnight's track "The Bondage Song". Mortes transformed it into a hypnotic darkwave masterpiece. Delving deep into themes of power, submission, and desire, this reimagined classic amplifies the raw emotion and haunting allure that made it a goth essential. "The Bondage Song" will appear on Mortes' upcoming album, Thorns, which will be released on 21 March via darkTunes Music Group.
With his signature style, Mortes breathes new life into this anthem, making it an unmissable experience for every modern goth and darkwave lover. Those who missed it can check out the previously released track "Die With You" over HERE.
In the dimly lit corridors of emotion where love, hate, and desire intertwine, Mortes emerges as the modern duke of darkness, offering his haunting debut album, Thorns. This 11-track album invites you into a world where passion is a wound, love is a fleeting bloom, and hate is the bitter thorn that pierces the soul. A must-listen for every modern goth, darkwave devotee, and post-punk enthusiast! Link
