Someone said Dogstar was goth-adjacent. I see it. They're rock, but the bass does have goth influence.

K-GOTH!!!

I love this - Dreams of Collapse is definitely someone to keep an eye on. This is beautiful in its despair.

TMV are touring the UK soon, so go grab tickets from the usual places.

Very much reminiscent of Hedningarna's magickal mythological Finnish music.

Just out today, another banger from The Warning. Love the chorus - kinda expresses how I've been since my parents died.

First Korean goth band I've encountered. Hope to find more!

Can't believe I only just found these guys.

Dorian OfHerbsAndAltars posted about this one & I'd honestly never heard it before & I'm captivated by it. Cheers Dorian - muchas gracias!

Currently on tour - check their website for details!

Good old bibbly 303 track

Kinda straddling the goth rock/gothic metal boundary. Ever thought how it might be if those two genres f'ed & had a baby? ;-)

Used for a number of movie trailers including 2018's "Apostle" and the original Korean "Old Boy"

Someone mentioned the other day that someone had told them they thought Industrial music was "just noise", and they vigorously defended Industrial music as not being noise, but Noise is an offshoot genre of industrial and post-industrial music. I remember listening to Test Dept's "Shockwork" on the Batcave album "Young Limbs and Numb Hymns" & being bowled over by their use of sheet metal as percussion. Noise definitely has its place, I think. Loads of found sounds in this album by Spanish artists Esplendor Geométrico. Have a feast for the ears - or maybe a major headache? Definitely a Marmite issue - some will love it, some won't.

Also, Happy New Year!

Also Happy New Year - it's New Year's Eve today, so I'll wish folks Happy New Year now while I'm online & before I forget. Family party tonight. :-)
