What’s Next After Horror Sacri? A Journey Through Love and Loss

01.09.2025

It feels a little strange to already be talking about my next album when Horror Sacri has just been released. I know I should be focusing on promotion—sharing reels, videos, and giving this music the attention it deserves. I’ve done some of that (I just submitted Ego Mortuus Sum to SubmitHub), but right now, I find it hard to linger in the past. Horror Sacri has been part of my life for two long years, and though I’m proud of it, I feel the need to move forward.

So let me share a small teaser about what’s coming next.

The concept of the upcoming album is centered around one big question: does love have value in itself? Does it endure even when rejected, unreturned, or left unfulfilled? Can something so fragile still be eternal?

Through the lyrics, I want to explore whether there is any lasting meaning in our short human existence—whether life has an ultimate goal, or if its essence is found in the way we love, even in silence, even without reciprocation.

This won’t be a theatrical storyline, but a cohesive inner journey: the spiritual dynamics of a man facing rejection. His mind and heart shift from hope to denial, from rage to surrender, until he finally reaches acceptance and inner peace. And at the end, he dies—but the love he carried within him doesn’t die with him. It lingers on, as something eternal.

That’s all I can share for now. The rest would be premature—but I hope this glimpse gives you a sense of where my thoughts and music are heading.

Thank you for walking this path with me. It means more than I can ever express.

Back to the routine

How’s everyone doing?

It’s Monday morning and I’m sitting in my office again. During the last few weeks I’ve been on my summer holiday – and it was great! Besides having an amazing time with my wife either at home or trekking in the Bavarian Alps, I dedicated most of my free time to promote my new album. The first feedback is exceptionally good: people seem to like the album and say heartwarming things about the progress I made. This kind of positive feedback always surprises me in the best sense of the word – I spent too much time with writing, recording and polishing this album, and now I’m unable to objectively see its strengths and weaknesses anymore. I suppose the positive feedback is probably due to the maturation of the sound and the inclusion of vocals. It was interesting to see how many people can connect to a song with lyrics rather than to pure instrumental compositions! And to tell the truth, I also feel relieved that finally I could express myself better than before, when I still only used instruments to transmit my feelings and thoughts. While creating instrumentals, I always felt that something was missing – I had to rely exclusively on sounds – now with vocals it’s far easier, far more versatile.

Also, I started writing the new album. Yes, you’ve read it well: I started the preparatory work for a new release, even though the last one was published only a few days ago. This time I plan to utilize a different approach: first I create a concept for the whole album, finalize the lyrics and only then I’ll start writing the music. Next time I’ll tell you more about that.

One more important thing: in the future I’ll write more blog posts like this. Please subscribe to it, so you don’t miss these updates!

Future plans

01.10.2023

Sometimes I feel like I’m writing these posts mainly to record, how time flies. Thanatology was released almost two months ago, and I must admit that it’s performing even better than I expected. Being an independent musician I have extremely limited resources to promote my stuff, but despite all these limitiations, I have visitors both on the streaming platforms and on this website. I’m extremely grateful for that!

Furthermore, I thought that it would be useful and informative if I provided you a timeline for the next few months’ planned activities – just to show you, what are the main goals I want to achieve. Well, here are the plans:

  • First and foremost I’m working on substantially remixing all three Darkwave albums. The reason why I’m doing this is quite simple: I want to improve the sound for CD printing. Yeah, that’s right: I want to release all three Darkwave albums on physical CDs! This will probably be the hardest job I’ve ever done: I need to remix and remaster everything, re-record bass tracks for Hexapla and Missa Innominata and design full CD booklets. Also, I have to find a manufacturer who can print physical CDs (with cover art and booklet) for a reasonable price and find out, how to promote and distribute these physical copies.
  • Secondly, I already started translating my lyrics from Hungarian to English. It proved to be a shockingly demanding job: translating poems to a different language requires time, inner peace and a special state of mind. But I understood that I shouldn’t omit vocals from my music anymore – not just because I constantly get feedback from people who explicitly request it, but rather because I also feel like I should make these songs to a more wholesome experience by supporting the emotional content with words. I must admit that I still have no vocalist in sight, but I’ll work on the problem once the lyrics and the vocal patterns get ready.
  • As always, I started working on something new. To be honest, I haven’t even stopped writing music for a second: it seems that for me it’s impossible to take a break from composing and practicing. And I think it is the normal way of doing things with passion, dedication and love.
  • And on the long run, I plan to go live online. I really miss direct, face-to-face interactions with people who are interested in my music, so I decided that once I’ll get ready with my remixing activities, I go live on one of the streaming platforms. I have no idea, how does these things work (to be honest, I’ve never ever streamed live), but I’ll find out the ways and possibilities soon enough.

Wel, these are the plans. I always repeat it, but it’s true and I mean it: I’m extremely grateful for your presence, support and love. Being an independent musician means being alone most of the time – no bandmates, no live shows with encouraging faces, no frequent feedback. But I feel like a small, supporting circle of friends started to develop around Darkwave, and it’s extremely important to me.

Thank you.
