Greek Darkwavers Boxes of Blow Stare into the Face of Evil in Their Video for “Psychopath”

Modern life thrums with contradictions—technology binds us yet leaves us lonelier, cities hum with opportunity yet stifle the spirit. We race toward progress, but our souls lag behind, heavy with unspoken burdens. The noise of existence, endless and inescapable, fractures our thoughts and frays our peace. We live among bright screens and dim connections, craving meaning yet drowning in shallow distractions. Our collective mind trembles under the weight of pressures we scarcely understand, our anxieties swelling like tides, pulling at our foundations. The world feels more crowded yet emptier, our hearts restless and raw, yearning for solace that remains out of reach.

For nearly a decade, Greek musicians Thodoris Koutsogiannis and Alexios Othon Theodoridis—known as Boxes of Blow—have carved out their own space, shaping a sound that resonates with raw, minimalist intensity. After years of experimentation and shifting lineups, they’ve settled into a sound both atmospheric and piercing, a post-punk blend laced with potent lyricism that digs into the marrow of human struggle.

Now Boxes of Blow release their single, Psychopath, with a striking video to match. The track is a taste of their upcoming album, Human Cries, a stark journey through coldwave and darkwave, echoing humanity’s internal and collective battles. Set for release on November 15 under Wave Records, Human Cries pulls from influences like Clan of Xymox, 1919, Basic Elements, and Killing Joke, striking a chord with anyone contending with the relentless pressures and perplexities of modern existence.

“With this album, we wanted to encapsulate the feelings of anxiety and hopelessness that many experience today,” says the band. “We believe music has the power to provoke thought and evoke emotion, and we hope to spark conversations around the current state of humanity and the potential fall we face.”

Watch the video below: it is as minimalistic and simple as the melody itself: stark, confrontational…and inescapable.

Human Cries plunges deep into the sickness of the human mind and the decline of mankind, daring listeners to face the darkness lurking within our shared existence. Boxes of Blow create dystopian landscapes with pulsing rhythms beat like a heart under pressure, while evocative lyrics lay bare the raw struggle of a world unraveling. Each track pulses with urgency, echoing the chaos and confusion of a society on the brink.
