Well. After hesitating, my wife and I decided now was not the time for us to go to the USA. It makes us sad because we love Dark Force Fest. It is the coolest festival we have ever attended.
For those who are going or considering going, from Canada, the US or elsewhere in the world, I hope you have an amazing time and I hope we can meet there in a future year
Most of the bands I was looking forward to seeing had done something for Ukraine. In these crazy times it is important to not be silent and do something whether for Ukraine or for your neighbour.
Dark Force Fest will be from May 2 to April 4, 2024 at the Sheraton in Parsippany, New Jersey.

From a basement in Montreal, the air thick with the hum of analog synthesizers and the scent of incense, The Gothic Moose emerges each week. This is the domain of DJ Moose, a seasoned figure who has navigated the underground currents of dark alternative music for years. His podcast is not merely a playlist but a curated journey, a deliberate descent into atmospheres where melody meets melancholy. You'll hear the driving, mechanical rhythms of industrial, the haunting, romantic strains of classic gothic rock, and the cold, shimmering textures of darkwave, all woven together with a selector's intuitive feel for narrative flow. The experience is one of immersion; each episode functions as a private transmission from the scene's heart, offering both discovery for newcomers and deep cuts for dedicated followers. Tune in to The Gothic Moose for a consistent, expertly-mixed soundtrack to the shadowy corners of the night, a weekly ritual built on a foundation of genuine passion and deep musical knowledge. DJ Moose acts as your guide, letting the music itself-a powerful blend of the ominous and the beautiful-do most of the talking. It's a destination for those who find comfort in the darker shades of sound.
