Darkwave fans, meet Last Grasp, the project of Florida-based artist Matthew DeFeis that’s gaining momentum in the underground scene. Launched in 2021, Last Grasp blends darkwave’s brooding energy with industrial intensity and deathrock’s gritty edge. The band, led by DeFeis and produced by his childhood friend Boris Stojanović, takes inspiration from '80s and '90s goth music while keeping the sound fresh and modern.
The group’s recent lineup expansion—with Jaysik Smith on bass and Lo Ormachea on synth—has added new depth and texture to their music. Their latest single, “Creature of Your Kind,” explores themes of lust and attraction, weaving a haunting melody that lingers long after the song ends. Describing the creative process, DeFeis notes that the chorus came together with an infectious energy they instantly loved.
Last Grasp also thrives on remote collaboration, with DeFeis in Florida and Stojanović in Serbia, working together across continents to shape their sound. Comparisons to post-punk acts like Vandal Moon and Drab Majesty hint at their style, but Last Grasp brings something distinctly their own. Now streaming on major platforms, “Creature of Your Kind” offers a dark, captivating experience for goth revival fans. Give it a listen to dive into their world.
