Molchat Doma in Concert at History, Toronto: An evening of Dark Synth-Pop with Sextile. 

Molchat Doma, the Belarusian post-punk revivalists, brought their signature blend of dark synth-pop and new wave to Toronto's History tonight, creating an atmosphere that was both haunting and exhilarating. The concert, which was part of their comprehensive 2025 North American tour, highlighted their increasing impact in the music industry.

Opening the night was Los Angeles based band Sextile. They set the stage with their gritty, electrifying sound. Their performance was a perfect precursor, energizing the crowd with raw, noisy edge that primed everyone for the main event.

Enter Molchat Doma, the shift in energy was palpable. The trio, with Egor Shkutko's deep, monotone vocals, Roman Kemogortsev's atmospheric synths and guitar, and Pavel Kozlov's pulsating bass lines, created a soundscape that felt like stepping into a bygone era of Soviet nightlife mixed with modern angst. They have certainly gained a cult following for their music that feels like a nod to the past with a contemporary twist.
