It seems that nowadays I’m constantly in some kind of a reflective mood: I retrospect on everything I did in the past, while trying to figure out, how to go on. The first two and a half years of my musical journey have been centered around building up things: I put three albums together, worked on polishing my recording, mixing and mastering skills, and at the same time, I significantly improved my gear. Well, mission accomplished: my first three releases are out – you can listen to (or even download) them, if you like. However, I feel like something is still missing. I realized that I’m sitti ..read more

In a recent interview, the former Accept singer Udo Dirkschneider claimed that younger metal bands need a concept to stand out. While I fully agree on that (the question is always there, how one can differentiate him/herself from others in a world where approximately 100.000 songs are uploaded on Spotify on a daily basis…), it was not the main reason, why I finally – after much hesitation – wrote this post. It’s actually quite hard to answer such questions in a few concise sentences. Why do I still bother to formulate such a “mission statement” to my music? The reason is simple: I want you guy ..read more

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 ..read more

Just for the record: I upgraded my Jackson JS32Q Dinky. I always wanted to change the original Jackson high output humbuckers that originally came with the instrument and give Seymour Duncan’s Black Winter pickups a try – and now I did it. They sound killer ..read more

In case you haven’t seen it on my Instagram or Facebook: I really felt honored by the post of Metal Has No Borders, an excellent website posting metal music from all around the world. They nominated three amazing albums (the recent releases of Sheperds Reign, a folk metal band from New Zealand, Crypta, a Brazilian death-thrash formation, and Cunabula, a Lithuanian post-metal band) as albums of the month (August, 2023). And the editors decided to list Thanatology among the honorable mentions! It’s such an honor to be in the company of such excellent metal bands! Look, how they summarized the es ..read more

The Italian AllaroundMetal wrote an excellent review on Thanatology. You can either check out the original (Italian) text here, or read the English translation below. Thank you AllaroundMetal for the kind words and encouragement! Darkwave, instrumental metal not for everyone Get comfortable and of the right disposition of spirit, shut out the world from yourself, turn off the lights and let the tide of notes of “Thanatology” – the third album by the Hungarian project called Darkwave – wash over you. Behind the nick name is the guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Zsolt Némethy who started in 20 ..read more

Thanatology has been out for more than two weeks. While I must admit that 2023 hasn’t been an easy year for me, this release proved to be one of the few highlights. I spent countless hours with composing, recording, mixing and fine-tuning Thanatology – and now that I look back on these laborious times, I feel like each and every hour I spent with this release was worth the effort. Considering all my limitations and the hardships all along the way of creating this album, I’m more than happy with the final result. Also, promotion is going better compared to my previous records – I had the chance ..read more
