The rapid approach of Halloween makes for an impeccable alibi to indulge in deliciously corny tracks. Hence, please take advantage of the excuse that October provides you with to explore theatrical, dark and provocative sounds you may otherwise find too irrelevant to look into. From dangerously catchy choruses to the eerie echoes of dark wave, the music that this month inspires should not be overlooked…
