The SpaceScan series continue, this Friday presenting two bands from Finland and Denmark who apparently share a fascination with the dark hours. First up is evil synth-trio Nightsatan with their instrumental lasermetal, and they’re followed by Nightpass, who do melodic math-indie. As usual all you have to do is a bit of reading, listening and then – if you like what you hear – move on to their respective corners of MySpace.

It’s a symphonic evil, perpetuated early this month on the debut album ‘Midnight Laser Warrior’, produced by acid house great Jori Hulkkonen.
