US goth sensations LUDOVICO TECHNIQUE to make UK live debut next month

11th July 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

New York-based, goth-inspired, social sensations LUDOVICO TECHNIQUE recently cracked 1 million Spotify streams of their track, “Poisoned.” It’s a notable accomplishment, not least because it’s actually their fifth song to reach this milestone, two more of which (“Haunted“, “Noise Is Gone“) are also from mesmerising current album Haunted People.

Ludovico Technique‘s nucleus is singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Ben V. When touring, Ben V. typically assembles a live band of nameless wraiths to perform with him. The band originally drew inspiration from premier goth/industrial acts like Skinny Puppy, The Sisters of Mercy, Type O Negative, Rammstein, and Rob Zombie, creating a unique, complex take on gothic alternative music.

Brimming with darkly styled panache – both visually and musically – and renowned across the USA for their absorbing live shows, Ludovico Technique have rapidly risen in prominence and now make their live debut in the UK, with a series of intimate headline club dates and a coveted spot at Bloodstock Open Air festival next month.

Ben V. says, “For the first time ever we’ll be able to unleash our darkness onto the UK and share that intense experience with all!”

Discussing the track, Ben V. explains, “It’s a song about expressing yourself freely without judgement. We wanted to embody the intensity of the lyrical meaning in a visual language that all could appreciate.”

Highly distinctive, Ludovico Technique have already garnered attention from prominent US media outlets like Alternative Press, Loudwire, and Metal Injection. Other impressive accolades include reaching the #1 spot on the international iTunes metal charts, being featured on multiple Spotify editorial playlists, topping sales at #1 on Bandcamp, and accumulating over 10 million streams on Spotify.

Ludovico Technique is now set to take the UK by storm.
