Dark/Alternative Music
And so the Sisters' tour has started with 3 new songs being played at the first 2 gigs so far. They're already on YouTube & hopefully more will appear as the tour progresses (if it does....?).But Genevieve (Manchester 2020) - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QjZwuim...
Black Sail (Manchester 2020) - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zy1InoY...
I Will Call You (Bristol 2020) - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2nHP4MV...
Not sure about Black Sail yet, but the other two are promising (but need work obvs).
Looking forward to this album of Ukrainian darkwave, released next month, "Low Light" by Icy Men - https://icymen.bandcamp.com/album/low...Тусклый свет (Low light) - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ob9NtY...
Just came across this recently, it's from a few months ago...Death Song by Stranger and Lovers - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=APcrCNS...

Miauhaus lol!Watched a bit of The Sisters Of Mercy's new song, (can't remember which one), on my phone, it was on Youtube. It was live and the recording was crap, but looking hopeful for new release.

Rest of their tour has been postponed (apparently), so they now have plenty of time to get in the studio & work on those new songs...😁
Did you read the review of their Manchester show? They should take John up on his offer to play bass for them!
Forgot to say......First And Last And Always was 35 yrs old yesterday. Here, have some Nine While Nine - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq-i6d8...
The “Einstürzende Meowbauten” is just the best!

Just read the review Helen, sounds like Andrew still has it! As for John Robb, is he a bassist that you're familiar with then, and if so do you rate him?
TheFoe wrote: "Just read the review Helen, sounds like Andrew still has it! As for John Robb, is he a bassist that you're familiar with then, and if so do you rate him?"Well, I'm no judge of musical ability/talent - c'mon, look at some of the stuff I listen to! 😁. I'm not overly familiar with a huge amount of the Membranes' work, just the odd track here and there and one whole album (I think). Here's a recent one of theirs, "Black Is The Colour" - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T5V4QWF...
It's just that the Sisters need a proper bassist, not just Herr Doktor, and John Robb offered his services for free (in print, no less). He obviously wants them to get working on that elusive new album just as much as we do!
Couple of new post-punk songs:-Hero by Virtues and Failings - https://virtuesandfailings.bandcamp.c...
Stockholm 2 by Raskolnikov - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ0qo0R...

Well if that's him on bass then I'd be happy for his services! Good song too. :-)
I'd like to see Michael Dempsey ex Cure and Associates bassist have a go as I rate him highly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZRWb...
Yes, John on bass (& vocals). Great Associates song, I don't think I've heard that version before. Sisters just need to get a half decent "real" bassist who's capable of working with old baldy, someone who can spur him on to get into the studio & recording those new songs. Grrr, c'mon Andrew, give the fans what they want!
One of the Darrin Huss' (of Psyche) side projects, INSIDE, has released a compilation on Bandcamp - https://psyche.bandcamp.com/album/aft...Synthpop/darkwave from mid-late '90s.
Vampire - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r7wzk9R...
Camp as fv≤k but fab!!
Another decent review of the Sisters, Nottingham gig this time - http://www.undertheradarmag.com/revie..."Will The Sisters Of Mercy make another album? If tonight's performance is anything to by the songs are most definitely there and the band back to their resounding best, so now is almost certainly as good a time as any. We live in hope." Indeed, we do.
Time for some new music...Halo Cage by ROPES OF NIGHT - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zfCuNOw...

Can someone tell me what film this vid is from, pls?
message 445: by Tech XXIII (Chadicle Fellowes Society)
"horrible histories - the massacre""
Think it's from this Italian horror film https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C...
"In medieval Germany, a band of Teutonic Knights massacre a village of supposed devil-worshippers and bury their bodies underground, building a Gothic cathedral over the mass grave as a means to contain the demonic evil within."
I'm not a horror film fan so I won't be watching it!
EBMers "Klack" have thoughtfully released a special track on Bandcamp, "Distancing" - https://klack.bandcamp.com/album/dist...It's available as name your price, but all proceeds will go to one of their local music venues & it's staff "to help offset (even in some small way) their losses with all of America's venues being shut down for the foreseeable future".
And Cold Transmission Music (label) has put together a compilation - https://coldtransmissionmusic.bandcam...
"Here is a compilation of our awesome roster - from all over the world and from various genres. We are very proud of our CT Family so "name your price" if you feel the same :-) If you like what you hear, please visit the sites of the artists and bands to check out their complete discographies and merchandise! 100% of the sales of this compilation will go directly to the bands."
And two new tunes:-VÉRTIGO by Paranormales - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8xqnCD2...
First We Kiss by Roza Parks - https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=y...
"First we kiss and then we die"...Aaargh, no snogging at the moment pls ;-)
New album by The Kentucky Vampires out now - https://thekentuckyvampires.bandcamp...."Vampires Coffin" - https://thekentuckyvampires.bandcamp....
And
A new single from Horror Vacui, "My Funeral My Party" - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gwWKJuk...
Corpus Delicti appear to have re-united, but I'm not sure if it's just to tour old stuff or if they're hoping to release new material."After 23 years Corpus Delicti original line-up are back together! Now, working on rehearsals...
More news to come."
They don't say what the rehearsals are for but have released a "new edit" video of "Twilight" - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xFJfyH5...
"Found in an unopened box for 25 years, this newly discovered original tapes from 'Twilight' video give us the opportunity to offer you this brand new edited version, in a far better quality, included never seen before shoots!"
Here, have some D.A.F. Gabi Delgado-López has died...don't know details.Der Mussolini - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eYcUGO-...
Alle Gegen Alle - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=73EvQfv...
soon they'll all be dead! i do enjoy a bit of d.a.f., have several of their records - pioneers in electronic dance music for sure, 'der mussolini' was a real groundbreaker at the time and no 'alternative disco' was complete without it being played. my personal favourite (from the same 'Alles Ist Gut' album) was/is ' Als Wär's Das Letzte Mal'https://youtu.be/TuHYklrLkjU
in fact, by way of tribute, here's the english translation of 'der mussolini'Kneel down

Btw, if anyone's interested (nope, thought not) I'm hoping to post a link to a YouTube playlist I've been putting together over the last few days for anyone stuck at home "working".
If it's one of all your links on this thread, then definitely! :-)
Helen The Melon wrote: "Btw, if anyone's interested (nope, thought not) I'm hoping to post a link to a YouTube playlist I've been putting together over the last few days for anyone stuck at home "working"."Yes please! Was actually thinking to collate all your links during this... downtime. But i'm all for someone else doing the hard work!!
Aaargh! You pesky pair. No, it's a nice cheery playlist of "alternative" music loosely themed on the present situation that's dominating our lives. I will definitely try and collate all the stuff I've posted on here for you tho' over the next week or two. Maybe a few different separate playlist will be needed, new releases by year and then one for random old stuff?
I assume you want me to include Cookie Monster songs, David Hasslehoff, bad cover versions etc. etc. ? ;-)
Anyway, here's the one I have created: -https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=P...(Hoping link works ok, I've not done this before. Let me know pls.)
"Current Predicament" featuring:-
KMFDM, The Smiths, New Model Army, Miserylab, Die Krupps, In Letter Form, Psyche, Red Temple Spirits, The Snake Corps, Children On Stun, Anne Clark, Sisters Of Mercy, Front 242, And Also The Trees, Killing Joke, The The, Joy Division, The Mission, Inca Babies, The Rope, Alien Sex Fiend, Depeche Mode, Whispering Sons, The Chameleons, Nitzer Ebb, European Ghost, Rosetta Stone, Skinny Puppy, Nocturnal Projections, Paralysed Age, Front Line Assembly, Beastmilk, New Order, Visage, Plastique Noir, The Cure, Ritual Howls, In Camera, Peter Murphy, Dream Disciples and The Sound.
Crikey, what a strange mixture. Oh well, hope you two find something to enjoy on it. If anyone thinks it's inappropriate/insensitive then I'll remove this link to it.

aw bless and thanks!
Of no interest to anyone, but FotN's Elyzium is my lullabye, falling to sleep music atm.
I never really got into FotN apart from the odd track here and there. I can appreciate them a bit more now that I'm older, don't know why.Do you think Carl's the one stockpiling all the flour ready for when they can start touring again? (Even struggling to get spelt, buckwheat flour etc. up here, nevermind the normal stuff. People obviously going baking mad.)

As requested by that pair (Foe & Sera 😀) I am making my way through this thread collecting all my links and making them into various playlists, warts 'n' all. Except some vids have since disappeared & YouTube won't let me add any of the Cookie Monster songs - "content that is made for children can't be added to your playlist". So no Cookie Rammstein Monster 😥, v sad.Anyway, here's the first one:-
2017/2018 releases (46 tunes) - https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=P...
Hope link works...let me know pls...

Edit: I also apologise in case I ever post the same track more than once. I have special goldfish memory and can't always be bothered to use the search function to check!
Anyone need cheering up? This'll give you a laugh...I've always found the original v amusing and this new (tongue firmly in cheek) reworked EBM version made me laugh out loud (the houseplants wanted to know what was so funny 😁).
Sturm Café's "Koka Kola Freiheit" (original version) - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1bB9GqV...
Sturm Café's new "EBM Version" - https://sturmcafe.bandcamp.com/track/...
Lyrics translated into English:-
To Socialism!
To Coca Cola freedom, Coca Cola freedom
Coca Cola freedom, Coca Cola freedom
To socialism, to Coca Cola freedom
People have been drinking world famous Cola for a long time
Full of sugar and caffeine, that does not matter to us
With Cola comes McDonalds, with McDonald's stagnation
Capital flows from every valley
The buylust is total
Always total
All people lazing about
What should we do about it
We must fight Cola
We must fight over the whole world
With Cola comes McDonalds, with McDonald's stagnation
Capital flows from every valley
The buylust is total
To Socialism!
To Coca Cola freedom etc etc.
Ha ha!
