Post-Punkers Ropes Of Night Reveal New Video!

Today post-punk/ dark wave quartet Ropes Of Night (members of Ultha and Inzucht) revealed a brand new video for the first single Another Closing Door.

Check out the video premiere over at Visions Magazine! Visions notes: "The pre-released "Another Closing Door" represents a good cross-section of the band's sound: a danceable beat, crystalline guitars, 80s synth lines, and the gritty, brooding vocals..."

Another Closing Door is the first single and the first track on the album. It brings together all the traits their album Impossible Space has to offer: uptempo, sad-bastard music between dark wave and post punk, with hunting melodies and great harmonies.

The video was shot, directed and edited by close friend Ivan K. Maras. Filmed on location at various locations in Cologne, Germany captivating the overwhelming beauty, solitude and gloom of a sleeping city in the grip of global pandemic.

Impossible Space is the debut full-length by Cologne based post punk band Ropes Of Night. After the band parted ways with their former singer bass player Thomas Schindler took over vocal duties. The band crafted nine songs in a matter of a few months and recorded them amidst the first wave of the 21st century’s great plague. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Andy Rosczyk (also a member of Ultha ) at his Goblin Sound Studio (Cologne).

The band’s sound revolves around early eighties European and American post punk, while adding a contemporary flavor to it. This is not a new band trying to sound old— they sound like a band that has been around forever and now decided to craft a first record.

Fellow musician and friend of the band Ryan Patterson (Fotocrime/ Coliseum) said the following about Impossible Space: It has that great, comforting sound of something that immediately feels like it’s familiar and welcoming, while also being new and exciting."

Impossible Space is about the heart, about how much sadness a soul can endure and how incredibly brave the human spirit can be. This is uptempo sad bastard music that isn’t afraid to be accessible, almost pop, but in its essence never forgets that at the very core post punk was, is and always will be punk rock.

Impossible Space will be available September 3, 2021 from Golden Antenna Records on LP, CD & Digital, pre-order it here
