Darkwave is again one of the genres names, that I haven't "used" before. OK, it's quite obvious what that should be and I'd say that this is again "just another genre among the millions of others". Clan of Xymox has been linked to this darkwave movement, which started already late 70s. If it sounds like post-punk, looks like post-punk, feels like post-punk, why it must be called darkwave? Who knows!
Clan of Xymox combines quite nicely some industrial elements to their sound. But nothing totally new can be found here. But anyway they've been in front of the movement, since starting already early 80s. Long history already behind them, but they are still alive and kicking (and actually quite hard even, if you listen their latest In Love We Trust album from 2009).
I've heard their name before, but wasn't familiar with their sound at all. Little bit too much 80s here for my taste, but nice and easy sound anyway. Here's a nice sample from their latest effort.
