Soror Dolorosa – Mond (Prophecy)

Right in time for the approaching season of withering and decay comes Mond, the new album by French post punk/goth rock/cold wave band Soror Dolorosa (Engl.: sister pain), to provide you with just the right music for a twitchy dance… Continue Reading →

The Wraith – Ghost March (Seeing Red Records)

The Wraith’s debut Gloom Ballet (Southern Lord) was one the surprises of 2019 and a favourite with many a listener and reviewer who happened upon it. But the album had the bad luck of being released at the beginning of… Continue Reading →

Gvllow – Twin Flames (Sumerian Records)

What do we have here? A place, dimly lit, with plastic flowers, vacant, spiritual pictures on its walls, odd-coloured carpets and even odder personnel. An old-fashioned American funeral parlour. How did we get here? Well, the intro of the album… Continue Reading →

Host – IX (Nuclear Blast)

While they have have perhaps not reached the household name status of Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden, Paradise Lost are one of the most influential and important metal bands to hail from our shores, and in many ways can be held… Continue Reading →

Naut – Hunt (Season of Mist)

Bristol’s Naut release their debut LP under the Season Of Mist label after a short series of single and EP releases that have done enough to garner the attention of the underground music world. Enveloped in post-punk and swathed in… Continue Reading →

Die Oberherren – Die By My Hand (Svart Records)

The word “Goth” conjures up certain images for the rock community. Mopey, white faced corner dwellers. Glow stick wielding tubular hair arm dancers or Hot Topic adorned emo kids. What happened to the tongue in cheek, chicken dancing, dusty dancefloor hoofers? We are still… Continue Reading →

Rumours – The Lower We Sink The Less We Care (Lupercalia Records)

I have a soft spot for dark-tinged rock and punk and that’s why I picked the album at hand from our review basket without exploring much further. As is sometimes the case, it turned out not to be quite what… Continue Reading →

The Necromancers Union – Flesh Of The Dead (Petrichor)

Billy Idol, Glenn Danzig, The Sisters of Mercy, Ghost and a huge offering of 80’s goth, punk and B-Movie horror. These things on their own are (mostly) great, so what happens when you mix them all together? You get The… Continue Reading →

Cemetery Echo – Come Share My Shroud (Petrichor)

Death Rock – does that name wind you up as it does me? I am just too long in the tooth and too scarred by crimpers to dig that kind of jive talking. However, our colonial friends over the Atlantic… Continue Reading →

The Alligator Wine – Demons of the Wind (Century Media)

Now I am a big fan of Crocodilians and also of wine. Quids in! Or so I thought…. Alligator Wine are a duo from the Black Forest with not a stringed instrument between them. Drums, synths, organs, percussion. No guitar… Continue Reading →

Then Comes Silence – Machine (SPV)

Nothing melts my frozen heart as much as the current resurgence of Post Punk sounds. (You say post punk I still like to say Goth). With bands like Beastmilk and Publicist UK coming out of the dry ice in the… Continue Reading →

Death Wolf – IV Come The Dark (Blooddawn Productions)

We all like a “side project” don’t we? When a well-known musician from a biggish band decides to branch out and do something a bit different to their day job. Sometimes….very different, sometimes not so much but I find it… Continue Reading →
