Victorian Darkwave

Victorian Darkwave is a music  project  in Melbourne Australia Created by Rg Erwin, a Christian with Goth vibes. Rg is the creative force behind the solo darkwave project Victorian Darkwave based in Melbourne, Australia, draws from a rich tapestry of musical and atmospheric influences that shape his brooding, evocative sound. While specific details about his influences aren’t extensively documented in public statements, we can infer a lot from the sonic characteristics of his work and the broader context of the darkwave and industrial genres he inhabits.
 
This suggests a foundational influence from pioneering acts like Joy Division and The Cure, whose melancholic post-punk roots and atmospheric depth are cornerstones of darkwave. The stark, emotional minimalism of Joy Division’s Peter Hook's basslines and the gothic shimmer of The Cure’s Robert Smith's guitar work likely resonate in Erwin’s compositions, even if filtered through a more modern, electronic lens.
