Here are some of my favourite choices playing this year: *Schwarzer Engel. Powerful rocking Goth.*Pysclon Nine.Industrial Goth.                          *Extize. Industrial Goth.   *The Bellweather Syndicate. Cross Christian Death and...

Back in the 80's punk opened the doors to a more artsy version of itself known as Goth Rock and Death...

So today was totally a Yin/Yang. Work was just insane,everyone has been pushed to there limits because of all the B.S yesterday,it just sucked. I did my best to be polite and kind to everyone I interacted with that day : ) I brought my A-game as always.

Who remembers the SCREAMING DEAD ?...Totally atypical, this legendary Horror Punk Rock band with an energic sound and with a macabre imagery managed to surround the british scene from the early 80's with its dreadful shadow , leaving indelebile memories in many people's mind.A few years ago, by popular demand, they suddenly resurrected a truly unexpected way, but sadly, the experience of this obscure and ephemeral reformation seems to be over, nowadays...In late february 1999, a few days...
