Greetings dearest readers and music enthusiasts. Today we highlight the work of the US band GODDAMN GOTHS ON METH. On 15th December, the band released a 35-song album called “Vart”. Vart” is a collaborative multiverse of sound that incorporates inspirations from actual life as well as a variety of imaginary bands. Indigo Harper, Honky Tonk Hellfire, Dark Skanks on Crank, and the enigmatic namesake of Varsavati Records are among the major contributors. Dark Skanks on Crank’s wild goth-rock intensity, Honky Tonk Hellfire’s blazing outlaw country, and Indigo Harper’s eerie indie-pop sound each contributed a distinct voice. Let’s talk more about the album
. Their “contributions” combined computer ingenuity and human spontaneity, molded by AI-driven creativity. Who had an impact on this release? Has your work on this release been influenced by any particular artists? If so, kindly describe how your music reflects their influence. Numerous musicians and genres have an impact on this release. Indigo Harper was greatly influenced by artists such as FKA Twigs, Tove Lo, and Billie Eilish, especially by their skill in fusing sophisticated production with dark, poignant themes. While Dark Skanks on Crank prominently reference the industrial and witch-house genres, bringing to mind the anarchic energy of bands like Nine Inch Nails and Crystal Castles, Honky Tonk Hellfire’s songs channel the spirit of Hank Williams III.

This record pushes listeners to embrace the unexpected and discover meaning in the layers of sound through an unafraid approach to merging styles and influences.
One of Vart’s main characters is Varsavati, a mysterious and complex character whose storyline runs the length of the album. Varsavati, who represents existential and philosophical issues related to observation, duality, and the pursuit of enlightenment, acts as a fun yet menacing guide through the album’s maze of concepts. Every note of the music, from frantic noise arrangements to eerie, minimalist compositions, carries Varsavati’s presence, giving the listening experience more depth and fascination. This character is the extension of the album and this cohesive story spun in these 35 songs is easy to follow and to get to know Varsavati deeply
