With the release of "Invisible Man", Twice Dark takes a classic approach to a mending of genres that come complete with an edgy undertone and a character riddled style that breed the aesthetic of synth and alt-pop anthems.
"Invisible Man is about a few things. It’s about feeling unseen but it’s also about the realization that any mark you leave on society, or the world will disappear and be forgotten very quickly. It’s about the idea that life is fleeting, and you can embrace that and live for the moment, or you can get bogged down with the futility of life. I always look for new ways to write about my feelings about life and existence. This time I used the idea of superpowers or extra sensory abilities as a metaphor for my feelings about life. I wanted to write a concept album where each song uses a superpower as a way to describe emotions," explains songwriter Josh Kreuzman.
The story of how Twice Dark came to fruition begins when a young Kreuzman picked up a guitar while in high school on the southwest side of Indianapolis.
Inspired by classic punk and heavy metal at the time, he focused on playing in punk bands through high school and the start of college, he began moving towards indie rock bands switching to bass guitar.
In 2001 Kreuzman found a love for goth and Industrial music but since none of his friends were into that style, he ended up branching off and doing his own eventually finding other musicians that also had a love for those genres.
After years of working and playing with others, Twice Dark was born as a solo project.
"When Twice Dark first started, I was very much into goth rock and darkwave and I wanted to make a goth rock album which I think I accomplished with myself titled album in 2020. With Fault Line, my next release in 2021, I was still really into goth, but I started incorporating more heavy industrial beats. By the time I got to Orphans of the Storm in 2023 I was fully immersed in Industrial, and I wanted drum machine samples on the album. The 1st 2 releases had a studio drummer making them much more rock oriented. Finally, when I started creating "Telekinetic" I was very very into synth pop and I still am. In 2020 I wanted to make a lost Sisters of Mercy record but by the time I got to "Telekinetic" I was ready to create a lost Depeche Mode record mixed with Front 242. It's still very dark alternative and stuck in the 80s but Twice Dark has evolved a lot," says Kreuzman.
"Invisible Man" follows the previously released "Telekinetic" and serves as a testament to where the project is at right now.
