Read full biography ↓

Active since 2012, Gyves is an electronic project rooted in Minimal Synth, Darkwave, and Industrial. All music is composed and performed exclusively on a Roland MC-505 groovebox, giving the project its rigid pulse and narrow mechanical frame. But beneath the machinery, something older remains: dark folk, ritual drones, and the solemn gravity of neoclassical darkwave. Gyves sounds like cold electronics remembering a pre-modern world — an uneasy sleep where ancient sorrow moves through industrial rhythm.

The discography documents a gradual shift in sound:

• Haze (2014): A skeletal debut rooted in 80s Minimal Synth and Cold Wave traditions.

• Lamb in Drunken Crowd (2016): A move toward Post-Industrial and Heavy Darkwave, with emphasis on visceral rhythms, corroded textures, and oppressive structures.

• Six Laments Before Silence (2026): Breaking a ten-year hiatus, the third full-length album pushes the project into neo-archaic territory, blending a rigid industrial pulse with cinematic electronic dark-folk and ritualistic atmospheres.

2. Gyves (Black Metal, est. 2023)

A melodic black metal solo project from Sweden, blending piano-driven emotional melodies with traditional black metal elements.
