Crying Vessel

Crying Vessel is a captivating Swiss-American post-punk and darkwave duo that has been making significant waves in the music scene since its inception as a solo project by Slade Templeton around 2010. Over time, it evolved into a duo with the addition of drummer Basil Oberli, creating a unique sound that blends post-punk guitars with synth-driven elements, drawing influences from iconic bands like Depeche Mode, Erasure, and The Cure. Their music combines haunting aesthetics with a modern twist, incorporating elements of darkwave, gothic, and synth-pop to craft an immersive sonic experience.

Crying Vessel has released several notable albums, including "Before Life Was Death" and is set to release two new albums, "Sepulchers – The Servant" and "Sepulchers – The Maiden," in early 2025. Their work often explores themes of love, loss, and the supernatural. Both albums are anticipated to showcase different facets of their sound, with "The Servant" being more melodic and danceable, while "The Maiden" delves into darker, heavier territories. Their music has gained critical acclaim and widespread recognition, with releases on labels like Manic Depression Records, Cleopatra Records, and Cold Transmission Music.
