Dark Electronic Breakout ghostbells Join Die Krupps on U.S. Tour

Dark electronic breakout ghostbells join industrial pioneers Die Krupps on the band’s U.S. tour celebrating Die Krupps’ 45th anniversary. The tour kicked off this week in Austin, TX and will run through cities across the U.S. and Canada with an LA show at the Whisky A Go Go on April 17.

ghostbells return fully formed with Catacouture, their debut EP out now via Out of Line Music. A glowingly dark collision of icy new-wave melodies, 90s EBM pulse, and modern, club-ready production, Catacouture weaves pulsing basslines, reverb-drenched guitars, witch-lit vocals, and hypnotic synth textures into an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and sharply contemporary.

The EP opens with the band’s debut single “Darkness Saves,” a seductive descent into shadow where surrender becomes salvation. Built on 80s-inspired melodies, 90s EBM energy, and sleek modern production, the track sets the tone for ghostbells’ emotionally charged sonic universe.

Across six tracks, Catacouture unfolds as a world of melancholic romance, wrath, longing, and eternal lovers—cinematic, physical, and immersive from start to finish.

The tour arrives as ghostbells continue building momentum behind their recently released debut EP Catacouture, out now via Out of Line Music, and follows the band’s UK tour supporting Ashbury Heights.

ghostbells’ rise has been anything but conventional. After nearly two years writing, recording, and producing visuals before ever approaching labels, the band signed to Out of Line Music in June 2025 with nearly two albums’ worth of material already completed. Just weeks later—without any released music and with newly launched social channels—they made their live debut at Poland’s Castle Party Festival.

Since then, ghostbells have followed a focused release strategy, delivering a new single and video every six weeks while building a global audience through touring and immersive visual storytelling.
