Sevit – On The Edge Of A Darker Place (Album – Inclub Records)
Genre/Influences: Cold-Wave, Dark-Wave.
Format: Digital, CD, Vinyl.
Background/Info: Sevit is an American formation, which last year released its debut album.
Content: The band claims to be inspired by The Cure and that’s an aspect, which comes through on several songs. The sound of this band is definitely inspired by the great 80s Cold-Wave genre, but don’t expect a new clone of The Cure. It’s just an influence serving as basis to some tracks, but Sevit also injects a more personal touch to their work. The songs are accomplished by Electronic sounds and arrangements on top of the guitar playing. One of the songs features robotic vocal parts, which is another more personal approach.
+ + + : Sevit doesn’t try to innovate, but transposed some 80s standards into a personal production. The songs reveal a great balance between guitar and Electronic treatments. I also like the dark mood hanging over the tracks, which in the end becomes pretty melancholic. It resulted in a great song entitled “WarChest”. I also have to mention “Bleed”, which is a track featuring surprising, but cool robotic vocal parts.
– – – : I noticed a few monotone tracks, “A Light That I Can’t Save” being probably one of the few deceptions of the record.
Conclusion: Sevit is an interesting newcomer, which will for sure appeal to all lovers of 80s Cold-Wave music.
Best songs: “WarChest”, “Bleed”, “Love Or Madness”.
Rate: (7).

About Sevit
Sevit is a darkwave and coldwave band from Dallas, Texas. Discogs names Cameron Brand (Cam B.) as a member, and the band’s own Bandcamp page credits the album to Cam B. and Jackie Legos. The InClub Records notes describe Sevit as a five-piece.
“On The Edge Of A Darker Place” was written in 2020, according to the InClub Records credits. Discogs lists a CD on the Peruvian label InClub Records dated 31 October 2020, and a limited vinyl LP with lyric sheet on the same label dated 30 May 2021, the date also carried by the label’s Bandcamp page. The thirteen tracks are “Birds Of Prey”, “If Now And When”, “Love Or Madness”, “As Animals”, “Bleed”, “Slave”, “Days In The Dark”, “Voices”, “A Light That I Can’t Save”, “War Chest”, “Words (Everything’s My Fault)”, “One Perfect Day” and “On The Edge Of A Darker Place”. The band’s Bandcamp page later listed an extended remastered edition. No production credits beyond the band are given on the release pages.
A self-titled second album followed in September 2024 on CD and LP, with the track “Witch’s Broom” issued as a single; the live line-up at that point was Mario Tremaine (vocals), Cam B. (keyboards), Brian Weems (guitar) and Maddie Fritz (bass). Side-Line reviewed that record as Sevit – Sevit in December 2024. “On The Edge Of A Darker Place” is the band’s debut album and its first Side-Line review.
