Elegia + Parade Ground

Leave a Comment /

Elegia’s moving feast for EBM and darkwave fiends host Parade Ground, legendary pioneers of ’80s Belgian cold wave, whose anthem ‘Gold Rush’ has been played at every Elegia thus far. During the mid-late ’80s Parade Ground issued a classic run of LPs + EPs produced by Front 242, effectively making them Patrick Codenys and co.’s more pop-wise, dadaist sibling unit. More recently Dark Entries’ reissues and comps have reaffirmed Parade Ground’s pioneering status for EBM veterans and wavey youngbloods snagged on their sharp rhythms and ohrwurm hooks.

Lone Assembly are a Swiss quartet blending new wave, romantic synthpop and dark, melancholic post-punk. Formed by Raphaël Bressler (vocals, keyboards), Glenn Le Meur (guitar), Jim Bodeman (bass) and Romain Segu (drums), the band broke through in 2024 with their debut EP That Never Happened — a release rooted in themes of grief, emotional distance and vulnerability, pairing ’80s cold-wave textures with sharp modern production. Their forthcoming debut album Knots & Chains, due February 2026 via Irascible Records, expands on this world with thunderous basslines, hypnotic rhythms, reverb-soaked guitars and atmospheric synths underpinning Bressler’s deep, resonant vocals. Known for their
