The 1950's called, they want their slang back.

But can you skank to it?
Glad you liked it. Their album is called "Bat Music For Bat People".......does that mean you're a Bat Person? Batty?
which is almost definitely a play on the cramps 'bad music for bad people' comp, and yeah, i'm bat shit crazy!
Tech XXIII wrote: "which is almost definitely a play on the cramps 'bad music for bad people' comp......"Yeh, don't think they're taking themselves or their music too seriously!!
Revenge Of The Batmask - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QXu8AcY...
😁
sometimes that's no bad thing. it's clear that they've listened to the cramps, but..........well, we all know they wuz the rockingest cats on the block!
Tech XXIII wrote: "sometimes that's no bad thing......."Definitely not a bad thing. Always good to see people having fun with their music and if they do take themselves too seriously, well, I usually find that amusing too! ;-)

Some of the new stuff from She Past Away is on YouTube now.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ItxT-U8...
Hmmm, the music sounds "brighter" than their previous releases? Fortunately the vocals are much the same, echoey, doomy Turkish!

Very nice Helen, got a bit of an early Clan Of Xymox feel about it.
The CD reissue of The Wake's classic 1993 goth rock album, "Masked", is now available on Amazon. It's imported from America so is about £25, but comes with a second disc of extras:-https://www.amazon.co.uk/Masked-Wake/...
Also available from Bandcamp - https://thewakeband.bandcamp.com/albu...
"Watchtower" - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jDYQXkg...

Dunno what this is, post-hardcore industrial noise synth rock? Answers on a postcard please:-Penance by Uniform & The Body - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J3B7aEQ...
"Dunno what this is, post-hardcore industrial noise synth rock? Answers on a postcard please:-"Torture techno?
TheFoe wrote: "Torture techno?"
Nah, but that should def be a genre.
Don't know if you've heard of this band Helen, they're not new, only discovered them today.She Wants Revenge - 'Red Flags And Long Nights'

TheFoe wrote: "Don't know if you've heard of this band Helen, they're not new, only discovered them today.She Wants Revenge......."
Yes, have definitely heard of them. Might even have an album by them, but not sure, can't remember!
Something new, sort of minimal synth meets EBM - Wraith by Silent EM: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu8XbMm...
New album out now, will try & give it a listen sometime.
Night Sins are back with a new album soon, Portrait In Silver, but appear to have changed their sound. The highly derivative, and amusing, goth rock has been replaced with industrial tinged synth-pop à la Depeche Mode:-Annihilator - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=emYITC5...
https://funeralparty.bandcamp.com/alb...
Couple of new albums on the way from Silence In The Snow and Bragolin with Adam Tristar:-Smoke Signals by Siouxsie and The Banshees, oops sorry, I mean by Silence In The Snow - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljh7qYI...
The End Dwells In Us All by Bragolin vs. Adam Tristar - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WvogJIi...

Both good songs, as was Creux Lies's 'Made'. I'd like to offer up some new songs but my recommendations from Bandcamp/Allmusic have recently been a bit crap.
That's ok, it's just nice to get a response from anyone now and again. I was starting to think I was talking to myself again! Crap's ok too, give us something to laugh about........here you go, here's some hilarious new goth rock (well, I find it v amusing, prob just me):-Coming For You by Sonsombre - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2UqW6u1...
And another new goth rock number, highly derivative but I kinda like this one:-The Last Vampire by Angels of Liberty - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=75VM5Yh...
Might give their new album a listen
https://angelsoflibertyofficial.bandc...
Sonsombre - BadAngel Of Liberty - Good
Well I've listened to a heck of a lot of dodgy goth music from this year, next time I come across any I'll post it on here.
I do actually read this thread, Helen, and sometimes like your choices. I'm just not well enough up on 'dark' music! I'm not sure either about 'alternative' music, I suppose I could suggest things some times and risk looking silly!
Lez wrote: "I do actually read this thread, Helen, and sometimes like your choices. I'm just not well enough up on 'dark' music! I'm not sure either about 'alternative' music, I suppose I could suggest things ..."That's ok, I'm sure I look silly most of the time anyway.
Lez, you'll be horrified to know that at 1.30am the other night I started to hear a strange faint noise in my bedroom while I was trying to get to sleep. Eventually I switched the light on only to discover a giant, demented moth going bananas around the room. It was zooming around everywhere bumping off the ceiling, walls & furniture. Took me ages to try & catch it & it even went up my pyjama leg twice!
Anyway, more new stuff:-Dark by Secret Shame - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ghvhZIH...
Heart & Feather by Twin Tribes - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A4667_m...

Cool, Goth Moth, sounds like a band. A black moth with purple eyeliner. :-)
There was a Danish darkwave band called MOTH, but I don't think they were very good.Edit: found them on Bandcamp - https://mothband.bandcamp.com/
Don't think this lot are taking themselves too seriously, I hope not! New stuff from Italian deathrock band Der Hummel Über Berlin:-Blind Empire - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7knrLHB...
Helen The Melon wrote: "Don't think this lot are taking themselves too seriously, I hope not! New stuff from Italian deathrock band Der Hummel Über Berlin:-Blind Empire - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7knrLHB..."
"The italian renaissance of the darkest and most powerful Death Rock in the vein of early Christian Death/Mephisto Walz, acidic and epic guitars, cavernous bass, powerful insane vocals and true amphetamine drums. A must of Gothic movement!"
Oh dear Lord! Actually preferred the MOTH song, (I clicked on Mourning Dew).

WoW?!! - that is quite weird and yet it works! If I didn't know any better I might have thought it was the actual Song that they were singing ;o>
I've come across some funny stuff whilst I've been listening to some of your Dark Music Links and wandering around on YouTube, Helen ;o> ... and this was one of the places that I unexpectedly ended up on a couple of days ago ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58A-T...
... I've never heard of 'Rhett & Link' and thought it was 'Flight of the Conchords' at first ;o>
George Eldritch, possibly the funniest thing I've seen all year! :-)On a Sisters Of Mercy note, this is the album that never got released. Don't get too excited though, as Discogs now explain, "In order to escape his contract with WEA/East West records for two remaining Sisters albums Andrew Eldritch reputedly spent an afternoon mumbling into a microphone to record what he calls an album that "bears no resemblance to any quality product, let alone the Sisters". For a total of two days work over "reject material of some amateur acquaintances" we have an album of "rather bad sub-techno" that dwells almost exclusively on the glorification of shooting people and selling drugs to schoolchildren. It is rumoured that the full name of the band (SSV-NSMABAAOTWMODAACOTIATW) apparently stands for "Screw Shareholder Value - not so much a band as another opportunity to waste money on drugs and ammunition, courtesy of the idiots at Time Warner".
The album has never been published, but has been available on the net for years.
Not the worst thing I've ever heard, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU7Ar... not great though.
TheFoe wrote: "George Eldritch, possibly the funniest thing I've seen all year! :-)..."
😁 Yeh, I'm finding it gets funnier the more I watch it, especially from the 40 second (approx) "sing" point.
Will try listen to that S of M "album" on YouTube over the weekend.
Helen, I saw this joke on 'Talk Classical' and thought of you:Guy comes into the doctor's. The doc says, "What seems to be the problem?"
The guy says, "Doctor, I think I'm a moth!"
Doc says, "Sorry there's nothing I can do for you. I'll need to send you to the psychiatrist"
The guy says, "Oh, I was on my way there but I saw your light was on."

I read somewhere (can't remember where) that Porl thought the Miserylab tracks didn't get known to a wide enough audience so he decided to re-work them using the Rosetta Stone name. Also, it's a bit strange to release the final track of the album as a preview/taster.
I was looking forward to the new album but now...........
Hmmmph, we don't want half baked rosetta stone, we want full on, old school '90s sounding Rosetta Stone!!
