Italian electrowave/post punk/synth wave/goth/darkwave band Ash Code have unveiled their new single “Scar“ accompanied by a music video.
The song is out now and follows on from on from their latest single “Nostalgia”, released in November last year. Grab it here.
Speaking about it, singer Alessandro Belluccio says:
“It’s a song about a bittersweet story of love lost to time, where old VHS tapes replay memories that no longer hold meaning. The crackling static and glowing screen brings back a face once cherished, now just a distant image. The song captures the quiet realization that the past has faded, leaving only a scar. It explores the way time erases emotions, turning once vivid moments into nothing more than flickering frames on a worn out tape.”

Ash Code “Scar” Lyrics:
I celebrated the distance, cutting your photos apart.
Sacrificed each frame, ripping your smiley face
I traced a line, erasing the past, this bond never meant to last
A change smaller than I thought, I simply forgot
Now I’m faded in time
A scar you left behind
Now I’m faded in time
A scar you left behind
Muffled tapes, pressing play, the static took shape
The glow of the screen, there’s you, in a timeless scene
I’m still watching in the dark, no love, no ache, not even a spark
A change smaller than I thought, I simply forgot
Now I’m faded in time
A scar you left behind
Now I’m faded in time
A scar you left behind
Now I’m faded in time
A scar you left behind
Now I’m faded in time
A scar you left behind
Now I’m faded in time (x2)
Formed in 2014 in Napoli by singer Alessandro Belluccio, keyboardist Claudia Nottebella and bass player Adriano Belluccio, Ash Code music covers a wide range of genres including darkwave, coldwave, post-punk, and synthpop. The trio combines darkwave, noise, and electronic music with a solid drum machine. Dark ballads and obsessive beats, deep and melancholic synths, noise and distortions, arpeggiators, and delays. Lights and shades. Dances of Death. Visions and theatricality. Coded ash.
