Ghosting - Black Pearls

Dust off your vinyl capes and light the black candles. Formed in 1989 by teenage visionary Sascha Tayefeh in Koblenz, Germany, Ghosting stands as one of the most fiercely theatrical secrets of the 1990s German Darkwave and Neue Deutsche Todeskunst movements. Merging classical orchestration with heavily distorted gothic rock guitars and rigid electronic pulses, the project carved out a legacy of beautiful, bombastic despair before fracturing in the early 2000s.

Decades after their mid-'90s peak, the definitive retrospective compilation Black Pearls arrived on Alice In... / Dark Dimensions Records. Compiling 13 entirely remastered club staples, rare single edits, and forgotten alternate cuts, this collection crystallizes the band's shift from classical, eerie romanticism to heavy, danceable industrial-goth anthems. It operates as a vital historical document of Germany's dark underground music scene.

Ghosting - No Dreams EP

A resurrection from the deep freeze of the darkwave underground. After fracturing in 2003 and plunging into a nearly two-decade hibernation, Sascha Tayefeh quietly revived Ghosting to reclaim his crown. Dropping unexpectedly via Alice In... / Dark Dimensions Records on December 3, 2021, the No Dreams E.P. shattered the project's silence, proving the passage of time hadn't diluted a drop of their signature, macabre magic.
Rather than lazily chasing modern electronic trends, this concise, four-track release captures Ghosting returning strictly to the organic, narrative essence of classic gothic storytelling. It weaves a short collection of melancholic, mini-dark fairy tales heavily driven by sweeping, church-like organs, theatrical vocal arrangements, and a deep, deliberate sensibility that edges closer to the baroque horror of Sopor Aeternus than traditional, punchy club tracks.
