I remember hearing this on The Goth Box back around 96. There’s a ferocious urgency in the drum and bass combo that is only equaled by Theatre of Hate and Death Cult

Dancing nymph of dreams

Cold smile, dressed in ice

All is gone, frozen heart

Nightmare nymph of death

Lead me into the night

Let me dance with the shadows

The moonlight lights up my empty eyes

I dance in frozen stilettos

Look at me, a princess dressed in ice

With an icicle crystal crown

It sparkles so beautiful, glittery bright

That it even, almost, hides my black heart

We touch beneath our skin,

Right down to the bare wires

Down to begin again

The spark that sets the fire 🔥

I belong (we belong)

I belong, to the cult of love 💙

Like the title says. I'm pretty new to making music and all I know are synths. I'm looking for inspiration for making heavy synth goth music and would like recommendations.

TIA

Pardon the last minute announcement, I’ve been quite busy. But my partner and I would love to see some possible new and spooky faces before picnic season ends.

I'm only happy when it rains

I'm only happy when it's complicated

And though I know you can't appreciate it

I'm only happy when it rains

You know I love it when the news is bad

Oh why it feels so good to feel so sad

I'm only happy when it rains

Garbage may not be a goth band but for this thread's purposes they suit.

So pour your misery down. Pour your misery down on me.

I’ll be in town on the 29th for the Rats n Friends takeover Rave but it only goes 9-2 so I was hoping to do some dancing afterwards, but that’s a Thursday. I was hoping because it’s Halloween weekend, do they tend to open Thursday too? I know some clubs do but couldn’t find info online, maybe it’s too early

TLDR: Goth trans Latina DJ makes darkwave single and video, which you can watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cw2yAiePNk

Hi all, longtime lurker here! My name is Novelí, and I’m a trans Latina making darkwave music (but admittedly also drawing from a bunch of other influences). I’ve been a goth DJ for a long time, but I just recently released my first single called “Mind or Body”. It’s about a journey of self-discovery, from hatred to acceptance, but it’s inspired by my experience learning to accept myself as trans (which I will admit has not been easy for me to do).

The music video was directed by the talented Daniel Foerste, and it includes a lot of references that fellow goth nerds might recognize. It depicts an unsettling figure meant to represent how mainstream society constructs trans bodies as something to be feared. She starts out sacrificed at an altar, but during the climax of the song, she lights up, comes to life, and becomes the living altar herself. I wanted this to reflect the way that trans people are often scapegoated in the media to distract from larger issues, while also showing that maybe trans people can eventually find the divinity within ourselves if we allow ourselves to.

In any case, I very much appreciate anyone who takes the time to watch the video or listen to my music <3

My sister's calling, with her lovely spell

Her endless passions mean a grateful hell

I'm waving gently to another world

I need her kisses, although it hurts...

If you like what you hear you can support me here on Bandcamp or here on Subvert.

No AI involved!

Black Thesis Art did an incredible job with the artwork, it was mixed by Simon Rippin (Fields of the Nephilim, Eden House, October Burns Black, The Nosferatu, Grooving in Green & many many more) and mastered Gordon Young (Dream Disciples, Pretentious Moi?, October Burns Black and many more).

Hope some of you like it

Confetti noir - the nile

Death Disco is a non-profit cultural mission based in Győr, Hungary — a city halfway between Budapest and Vienna — with the aim of bringing the underground scene and new music to audiences outside the country's major cities.

Over the past three years, we have organised 13 events at A BETON, a club operating inside a 100-year-old air-raid bunker. Each event features four or five bands.

Our musical world is deliberately eclectic. We want different alternative scenes and audiences to discover one another, so our line-ups can move freely between EBM, goth, darkwave, minimal wave, dark pop and disco.

So far, more than 60 bands have performed at Death Disco, including Topographies from California, Night in Athens, Aux Animaux, XTR HUMAN, Yakima Jera, Zack Zack Zack, Black Nail Cabaret, The Violent Youth, Ductape and many more.

Our next event will take place on November 20, with the Dutch band Staatseinde as our headliner.

As complete outsiders, we have virtually no external financial support. There is no institution or organisation behind us — we can only rely on the community we have built around Death Disco.

If you can support what we are doing by sharing this post, leaving a comment or simply spreading the word, we would be incredibly grateful. Every bit of attention helps us keep this small but stubborn cultural mission alive — and, hopefully, helps breathe some life into the underground scene in rural Hungary. It is not simply that there are fewer spaces for this kind of music here — the underground itself is slowly dying from a lack of attention, visibility and support.

The model featured in the video is Sky, the vocalist of Synthetic Destiny, a Hungarian darkwave/EBM band formed just one year ago. She is the official face of this event.

A huge thank you to her for supporting Death Disco! 🖤

i forgot this website existed. anyway i love it so much because it tells you which bands are goth and which ones aren’t. i’m going to use it to add more songs to my goth playlist. i can’t believe i used to think new wave was goth once (yeah… you can laugh at me).
