January 25th saw the drop of the new single, “Impetus,” by Portland, Oregon trio Ceremony Shadows. Timo (synths/programming), Anastasia (vocals), and Jakub (vocals) describe their sound as ritual darkwave and the mastering engineered by Adam Stilson.

The first chiming notes, instantly had my attention, as it reminded me a lot of The Danse Society’s “Heaven Is Waiting,” thought this is never a bad thing, and the seductive female vocals curl in, followed by the deeper tones of the second vocalist, like the duality of darkness and light.

It is a sensual slow burn that gets under your skin. You can also go check out the two remixes, a club mix by Stilson and another by vyger, for this track, and “Impetus” is a taste of the soon to be unleashed new album for those craving more dark electro goodness that is Ceremony Shadows.
