This first volume features American, German, British and Swedish punk bands. The term synth punk has been popularized in recent years, or rather vulgarized, becoming a genre that mostly describes electronic or new wave bands. This compilation highlights anger and nihilism punk with the violent rhythm of a fingering that assails a keyboard. Here, no synth pop, no new wave, no experimental music. Imagine a "Killed By Death" compilation led by raw razor shape synthesizers. https://www.shinybeast.nl/public/newsletters/20210127_829579_5yu1dwrbi.html =======================================================================================
