New album is out now!
Available HERE

Blending dark wave, cinematic electronics and occult aesthetics, the band expands their sonic ritual with vocal performances from key figures in the dark alternative scene. This time, the focus on spiritualistic and occult practices is the common thread of the new record.

The album opens with “Primordial Temples”, a ritualistic instrumental piece that evokes the atmosphere of an ancient ceremony. Its droning textures and percussive echoes set the tone for the experience that follows.

Occult Pleasures features an array of compelling guest vocalists from across the dark music spectrum. “Beelzebub Unchained” features Aux Animaux, her spectral vocals gliding through driving beats and burning tension. The title track, “Occult Pleasures”, enlists Alex Svenson of Then Comes Silence, infusing the track with mournful grandeur and melodic intensity. Other highlights include the witchy “Something Wicked” and the sinister and guitar heavy “Hadal Ritual”, both featuring Hungarian dark electronic artist Zsüd on vocals. Video single “Shadow Projection” is featuring Çağla from Ductape where she delivers a strikingly emotional performance sung partly in Turkish.

Joining the ranks of The Devil & The Universe is Ezechiel, the band’s newest member from Prague, whose percussive force on drums and ritual instruments lends primal weight and presence.

Known for their pagan aesthetics and genre-defying fusion of darkwave, industrial, and ceremonial music, Ashley Dayour, David Pfister and Ezechiel continue to evolve both sonically and spiritually.

Sound becomes spell. Rhythm becomes rite. One album. Many voices. Infinite shadows. 

Your favorite goats unveil their brand new video single “Shadow Projection”, taken from the forthcoming album „Occult Pleasures“ (out 19.09.25 via Dark Swiss Nights).
Now available on all streaming services and Bandcamp.

The upbeat, danceable track features the distinctive voice of Çağla from
Turkish darkwave duo Ductape, weaving Turkish and English lyrics into a
hypnotic sonic ritual.

Driving rhythms, shimmering electronics and the band’s signature use of
the dulcimer merge to create a piece that is both haunting and club-ready.

„Occult Pleasures“ will be available as limited vinyl, Digi CD, and a
Deluxe Bundle packed with exclusive extras.

We’re thrilled to share our brand new single “Occult Pleasures”,
featuring the unmistakable voice of Alex Svenson from Swedish
darkwave/post-punk legends Then Comes Silence.

This track marks a new chapter for us: unlike our more cinematic,
electronic-driven songs, “Occult Pleasures” is heavier on guitars —
urgent, hypnotic, and drenched in our signature ritual atmosphere. Alex’s
vocals cut straight through the swirl of percussion, bass, and post-punk
shadows, making this collaboration one of our most powerful yet.

The spellbinding new single “Something Wicked” featuring Zsüd is out now!

Press Release :

Vienna-based ritualistic darkwave pioneers The Devil & The Universe release their haunting new single “Something Wicked”, inspired by Shakespeare’s ominous line from Macbeth:

“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.“

Steeped in witchcraft and occult atmospheres, the track conjures an sonic experience that beckos listeners into a world of shadows and esoteric rites.

Marking a powerful collaboration with acclaimed Hungarian artist Zsüd, “Something Wicked” weaves her vocals through layers of ritualistic beats and brooding synths, evoking the essence of a witches’ sabbath.

The single follows the band’s recent releases: the sinister, danceable “Beelzebub Unchained”, featuring Aux Animaux, and the ritualistic, „Primordial Temples”—both offering tantalizing previews of the band’s forthcoming album Occult Pleasures, slated for release 19 September.

“Something Wicked” is out now on all major streaming platforms.

The goats have returned. Darker, louder, and more possessed than ever, so we’ve been told.

Our brand new single „Beelzebub Unchained“, a ritualistic fusion of dark electronics and unholy vocals, featuring the haunting presence of swedish dark wave witch AUX ANIMAUX is now available on all major stream services and Bandcamp. Released via Swiss Dark Nights records.

A descent into the hypnotic underworld where darkwave, occult ritual, and ceremonial driving rhythms collide. A new brand new album, the first one in three years, will see the light of day later in the year!
