French Synthwave artist James Kent a.k.a Perturbator is coming back to the front scene of Dark Synth / Synthwave.
Article from metalsucks.net :
As Nocturne City’s ambassador to the barbarian hordes, James Kent (a.k.a. Perturbator) has been converting metalheads to the glory of synthwave since 2012 – he’s even been invited to play super underground kvlt black metal festivals like Nidrosian Black Mass. You won’t find any guitar solos or death growls here, but he blazes his own trail to Satan. That may be the most metal thing about him; his neon-soaked sound re-purposes old-school arcade games, straight-to-video horror schlock soundtracks, glittering cyberpunk cityscapes, and a Japanese import vinyl of Live after Death into one streamlined machine. It’s pretty breathtaking.
You can listen to his previous work over at Bandcamp to get a feel for what he’s done before, but the album teaser below sets off a nuclear explosion in the heart of Neo-Tokyo in the space of one scant minute. As perverse as it sounds, The Uncanny Valley may be the heaviest thing you hear all year.

Hell yeah! Hope this album is good. I love synthwave but Carpenter Brut is kind of soiling the sound, let’s hope Perturbator doesn’t follow in his steps.
Don’t you like Carpenter Brut? I love some of his songs! We’ll see how Perturbator will respond with this album
@Expassion I wanted to add a leak (dlmetal), but the site wouldn’t let me, saying this album had alredy been reported as leaked. However, the leak reported (Getleaks) isn’t the full album, only the bonus tracks.
