The ancient Egyptians believed that death brought on a 12-hour journey to the eternal afterlife. Each hour filled with judgment requirements and tasks by Gods and Goddesses. One may successfully reach the Egyptian netherworld at 12 hours and 1 minute or 12:01. Egyptology?.. or maybe the recent rumored theory behind the name of Denver band, Project 12:01. Project 12:01 is the best-kept secret in Darkwave music.
Project 12:01 is the best-kept secret in Darkwave music. Gorgeous, unearthly female vocals weave their irresistible layers through dark, milky, dancey electronic soundscapes.

Counterpart Noel Johannes can be defined as something between a mad synth scientist and electro gear god.
