Hehe, there will be more where that came from
Anyways, hi, darksynth enthusiast here. This is the genre I listen to about 95% of the time, heh. Here are some of my personal favourites artists in the scene. Wall of youtube videos incoming!
If you've heard of the genre before, you probably know who Perturbator is. Dangerous Days in particular is an absolute masterclass of darksynth, with the titular final track being an epic journey and my current all-time favourite track. His latest album, The Uncanny Valley, is out in a little under two weeks. I'm very excited.
Carpenter Brut is another fairly well-known synthwave artist. Trilogy is a rollercoaster of kicking tracks and varied sounds from start to finish. Standout tracks include Le Perv, Run, Sally, Run! and Turbo Killer.
Want your synths harsh and loud? GosT is about as close to "synth-metal" as you can get. He's also got a new album coming soon.
Dan Terminus is an interesting one. Every album he has done has had a radically different sound and mood to it, which is very cool. The Wrath of Code is currently my all-time favourite album, by the way. Every track is unique and never gets old.
Maybe you want your synths mixed in with a feeling of exploring the farthest reaches of outer space. Dynatron will be right up your alley.
I'm not super familiar with Daniel Deluxe, but his recent album Corruptor is pretty rad and I recommend checking it out.
Right, that's all for now! More later, possibly.

oh sorry WW i didnt saw that those were links.
I must say that Turbo Killer is freakin sweet and not just the music but the video too.
Since 'True Survivor' and 'Hunters' have been mentioned might as well put their respective videos here for those who didnt saw these.
