Dark Entries

"Dark Entries" is a song by the English gothic rock band Bauhaus, released as a stand-alone single in January 1980 by Axis (an early name for 4AD) and later issued on 4AD and Beggars Banquet.

[2] It features the 1944 painting Sleeping Venus by Paul Delvaux as cover art.

[3] Dave Thompson of AllMusic noted that the "Dark Entries" was outside of the band's normal reputation, being "far punkier" and played at a "breakneck pace".

A storm of feedback and percussion starts the song, continuing for 45 seconds before vocalist Peter Murphy "finally unveils one of his most breathless vocals".

The band Preoccupations released a cover of "Dark Entries" as the penultimate track of their debut EP, Cassette (2013).
