Sixth Comm

About

Sixth Comm resonates from the shadowed corners of the United Kingdom, a project where Patrick Leagas weaves darkwave textures with tribal rhythms. Active between 1985 and 1991, their catalog traverses vinyl and cassette formats under labels like Cenaz and Eyas Media. The sound is austere, shaped by synth-driven melodies and atmospheric soundscapes. Releases such as "The Birth Of The Seven" (1991) and "Seething (The Breath Of The Serpent)" (1990) unfold with spectral precision, each track a nocturnal journey. Collaborations add depth to Sixth Comm's legacy. "The Fruits Of Yggdrasil" (1987) with Freya Aswynn stands as a testament to their collaborative spirit, merging esoteric themes with analog warmth. The aesthetic is skeletal yet profound, an exploration of lyrical introspection paired with pulsating rhythms. The project's alignment with similar acts like Death in June and Les Joyaux de la Princesse situates it firmly within a scene that honors the cold elegance of darkwave.
