Famous Cover Songs

I would like you to ask yourself the question: What makes a good cover-song? Is it when the new version is as close as possible to the original, or if the artists leave their own fingerprint on their interpretation? I for my part tend to believe that a good cover-version

Best of the Decade (2010-2019)

Posted on 10th January 20206th December 2021 savetier

Yesterday I read the post-punk.com’s best-of-the-last-decade list with big interest. I quite liked their collection of music. Then I thought about how my own personal top-list of dark alternative music of the last ten years would look like, and before I realised it, I was already working on it. Here

A Music Review of 2018

Posted on 3rd January 201928th September 2021 savetier

2018 was a year with a lot of changes in my life. The biggest was maybe the creation of The Wave of Things show, with one or two weekly episodes, focusing on dark alternative music (featuring talks with musicians, reviews and the like, but not only). The second big change

Another year has passed by and, on the verge of the next one, I reminisce and reflect. As in the previous years I have compiled a best of dark alternative music for you. As always in no particular order. Enjoy!

I am merely a music lover

Posted on 13th September 201717th November 2017 savetier

“Polish Coldwave Journey” has the taste of a holiday adventure, but before everything else it is an important and unique documentary film about the contemporary Polish coldwave. The premiere of this film will be very soon. For this occasion I had a talk with the father of this idea –

Savetier’s Coldwave Journey

Posted on 15th August 201718th January 2018 savetier

We did it again! After the great experiences we made last year while making a music-anthropological film about dark alternative music in northern Italy, where we met and hung out with ten bands in Bologna, Ravenna, Parma and Gradara, we decided to do a similar film in a different country.

XV Wroclaw Industrial Festival

Posted on 13th November 201615th November 2016 savetier

There are many reasons to visit the Polish city of Wrocław: It is incredibly beautiful, has a moving history and offers a lot of cultural places, museums, galleries, bars and coffee-houses.

Rockscape 2016

Banská Bystrica is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in Slovakia. Located in the very centre of the country, the city became prosperous through copper mining in the late Middle Ages. Its beautiful buildings and façades in the old town attract lots of visitors every year. From 24th to

Posted on 15th May 201615th May 2016 savetier

Friday the 13th of May 2016 – a date that will write history in Slovakia’s second largest city – at least for the alternative and dark culture. On this date the Kaschau Industrial Gathering took place, the first bigger industrial/ dark music format in Košice.

Wow! 2015 was a great year for alternative dark music. While spending my New Year’s eve in the German capital of Berlin I managed to compile a solid best-of list for you – not without a little help from my friends – thank you! As there were so many good
