GOTHBOY‘s latest project, Voidheart, hit streaming platforms on September 5, 2025, marking another step in the artist’s growing catalog of atmospheric electronic tracks. Emerging from the underground scene, GOTHBOY has built a rep with features like the 2025 single ‘Last Thought Before Shutdown’ and standalone cuts such as ‘Lonely Memories’ and ‘Gloom’, often blending minor-key synths with heavy bass. His sound pulls from dark wave roots, emphasizing bleak tones and melancholic hooks that echo post-punk influences from the late ’70s, while nodding to modern wave subgenres through manipulated tempos.
The EP centers on a single core track, ‘Voidheart‘, clocking in at 2:45 with its raw, brooding synth layers and sparse beats that build a sense of isolation. Variations expand the idea: ‘Voidheart (Slowed)‘ stretches to 3:05, deepening the reverb for a more immersive low-end rumble; ‘Voidheart (Super Slowed)‘ at 3:28 drags the tempo further, amplifying the echoey voids; and ‘Voidheart (Sped Up)‘ rushes through at 2:27, sharpening the edges for a tense, urgent feel. Totaling 11 minutes, these tweaks highlight GOTHBOY‘s talent for remixing his own material into distinct moods without losing the dark wave core.
This release fits right into the current dark wave revival, where artists lean on romantic yet stark lyrics and electronic minimalism to capture emotional depth. With cyberpunk visuals in the accompanying videos, Voidheart positions GOTHBOY as a distinct sound in the genre, potentially drawing fans of melancholic electronica looking for quick, repeatable listens.
