Dark Synth

Darksynth is an aggressive, atmospheric subgenre of Synthwave that fuses 1980s cinematic horror, industrial, and heavy metal influences. Characterized by distorted basslines, minor-key melodies, and rapid tempos, it creates a dark, dystopian soundscape inspired by cyberpunk, horror, and action media. Synonyms include horror synth, darkwave, and it's sometimes described as metal-influenced electro house.
