B.h.d., The
Dancing In The Shadow
The B.H.D. [The Black Hotels Doorkeepers] is a French Cold Wave / Post Punk project, which was formed in 2012, to indulge mastermind David Droz musical roots. In 2013 the first songs appeared on the internet and caused a lot of attention, with their distinctive Joy Division influence, without sounding like a second class cover band. Soon The B.H.D. decided, to release a debut with German label "Cold Insanity Music" (9/2014). In early 2015, The B.H.D. signed to Manic Depression to release this second album. Driving bass guitars, demo-like, partly screaming guitars, a melancholic baritone and systematic placed synths are the basis of a lot of The B.H.D.s songs. The album carries melancholy in a way, which is quite unique nowadays. Cold Wave and Post Punk meld into a one-of-a-kind mixture and will not only let the old Joy Division fans hearts beat higher, but also bring back the glorious 80s to a younger audience.
