Synical had previously released an eclectic mix of Goth, Dark-Wave, and Post-Punk album “This Will All Happen Again” and TODAY has released the music video for “This Will All Happen Again.”
Synical is a Los Angeles-based band that encapsulates the sound of a post-punk generation with its roots in traditional dark wave music. Inspired by the industrial goth sound of new wave and techno, Synical explores a modern edge to this genre. Drawing inspiration from an eclectic collection of artists such as Depeche Mode, New Order, The Cure, Prince, Joy Division, and Kraftwerk, Synical showcases the best aspects of countless different styles.
Their music has been described as “electrosexy,” frantic, industrious, and brooding. Some fans have even described Synical’s music as a soundtrack “for the downfall of civilization.” Synical’s lyrics offer an intelligent take on modern music with thought provoking lyrics – cleverly blending reality, truth, and futurism. For nearly three decades, Synical has remained focused on crafting modern complex music in classic styles that remain goth club ready.
At the forefront of Synical is singer/songwriter, producer and engineer, Brian Haught, who has stuck with his concept for the band since its origins in 1989. He is joined by lifelong-friend, bassist and vocalist, David Black, as well as guitarists Eric Griffin, Jimi Echo, and Noel Page. With countless talented members and musical guests contributions throughout the years, such as the legendary John Fryer (NIN, Love & Rockets, Depeche Mode), Ivan De Prume (White Zombie), Roy Mayorga (Ministry, SoulFly, Stone Sour), Alex Carapetis (NIN, Julian Casablancas), Robin Finck (NIN, Guns N’ Roses), Cheney Brannon (Collective Soul), and Racci Shay Hart (Dope), Synical’s sound is state-of-the-art and has developed fresh new musical stylings with each album they have released. Along the way, Synical’s music has been featured in the Gus Van Zant executive produced movie “Speedway Junky,” and gained critical acclaim from magazines, newspapers, and fans around the world.
About Synical:
At its core, the definition of “Synical” is suspicious of other people’s motives or intentions. Growing up surrounded and inspired by music, Brian Haught was always inspired by new ways of crafting music and sound. At 18, he joined an electronic funk band AC Black which was signed to Motown Records. After touring internationally with this group for several years, Brian decided he wanted to stick to his roots and follow his original musical quest to form the band Synical. Since its origins in 1989, Synical has featured various band members and has transitioned through many different sounds throughout the years. Brian started the as a solo act, became a duo, a trio, and eventually became a full five-piece band. The current musical make-up of Synical exhibits an against-the-grain mentality and time tested sound that is palpable to audiences familiar with new-wave and post-punk music.
