Heroin

Thanks for sharing your story and music.
That's really off the edge to listen to very intense loud music to keep yourself on your feet , I'll say! Whatever works

 

Hello, welcome here again😊.
I am too new for this , xD. I am since one month in this forum.

Welcome Back to MH
 
Its sometimes good return here wheter your an old member, new member or an old member with a new account, as long as you know how to use forum well and if your familliar with it. Anyways hope to find newer bands that your into.
 
Enjoy your return well.

Welcome back! I too just came back from a 4-5 year hiatus. Had to make a new account though, since I.forgot literally all my info haha. I hope you  find some new weird music that you are into!

Hello to this heaven, I came back from hell, probably the second time 😉

yeah.. I took myself away from all online social media platforms three years ago I would say.
but yes! Girugamesh is what brought me back, listening to their old school tunes got me thinking of Jrock again!

I think I said this in my previous, "I'm Back!" post. I really don't keep up with any news of Jrock of today. I guess for Dir en Grey I do know, but that was pretty much unavoidable for me. Still listen to their music time to time. but yes for the most part, clueless.

What I still listen to are, Dir en Grey, Malice Mizer, Moi Dix Mois, emmuree, The God and Death Stars and Girugamesh.

I REALLY love weird fuckin music, so I'll be looking for that. Recommend, mention, comment and hopefully it'll be in my path to see. I listen to all worlds of music.

Does anyone remember me? No? its okay. You're probably not here either.
again! Hello to everyone!

emmuree and tgads! great taste, welcome \m/

Thanks!
Its alright, you've probably talked more than me than my whole time being in this website and even before it was monochrome-heaven.  I was shy really.

again! Hello to everyone!

Well I do have that one album, Gallows Gallery by Sigh. Very amazing experience listening to the album. Something out of the ordinary that you dont hear in a metal album. Also songs I love to jam to.
I swear very underrated album and even the band itself. People notice, but not much recognition.
Definitely a listen.
 
(their other stuff are amazing as well)

not the type to be posting myself, but i like this pic
 

now these 3 bands are kinda irrelevant to each other but it cool
 
The Names
Something that I really enjoy but yet to figure out. Very atmospheric band with that post punk feel.
This hollow sound
 
Aunt Sally
Late 70s japanese post punk band with Phew for vocals. they have this avant garde weird style with their music. Love it! Very short lived band.
 
Cabaret Voltaire
Now they are definitely my kind of music! started listening to them not to long ago.They are something haha
i definitely recommend giving them a listen. crazy experimental danceable songs. their music changes throughout the years, so youll find something.

you rock! there´s almost nothing more awesome than an AE86 Sprinter Trueno! maybe only an 8th gen Mitsubishi Galant
 

oh yeah Inisharu D! and windows XP for the win!
 

I watched Jason X. watched up until Jason splattered that blonde girl's face and there I was done. Probably the only reason I watched that movie lol

Maybe let's keep it to: post-punk, new wave, goth, deathrock, darkwave, coldwave, dark rock, gothic rock...maybe some synthpop? Something like that. Not sure if we should include industrial and related subgenres (martial industrial, neo-folk, EBM etc.) cuz that would be a bit too much maybe. I'm down for anything tho.
 
@Heroin OMG the bands in your first post, I must check'em outttt! <3 Fun coincidence: I'm gonna go see Ash Code live tomorrow and they have a The Sound cover, heh. Asylum Party and Clan of Xymox are totally cool too.
 
Another great cult coldwave group: Opéra de Nuit!

Asylum Party
Can you hear it? It's speaking to my soul. *bobs head left and right*
Now this band was part of the cold wave french movement during the mid 80s or so. You can definitely feel this band going through your soul. Such dark cold voice.
 
Xymox/ Clan of Xymox
Early 1980 4AD darkwave band which I really appreciate how Pieter Nooten (keyboards) just perfect the synths. An atmosphere you feel confined to endless swirls. With the songs that Anka Wolbert (bass) has written gives a much more gloomy feel.
note: dont listen to CoX after anka and pieter split. just dont!
 
Coldreams
Very obscure coldwave band formed in the mid 80's. Give it a listen. Real great stuff.

great fucking selection of bands yo
 
this is dope! for a great amount of time of my life I listened post punk non stop! still do!
 
The Sound
ho ho I just changed my icon to the album Jeopardy, what a coincidence
Anyways 1979 post punk band with great sounds and feeling to their music. A lot of comparison to Joy Division, but personally for first listeners, you'll might say that. I listen to them a lot and by now I can barely relate but say they're both post punk bands.
I can totally relate to the motivation that they were putting out to. I am totally sucked in to their music.
note: very overlooked band and never hit high popularity
 
This Heat
One of the most greatest bands I've ever listened to. Very relatable to me and MIND BLOWING!
They started in the late 70's post punk era creating the most horrific sounding music you'll hear. Though they arent really categorized any genre or type of music, but still hold some post punk into them. Experimental and industrial I see more as.
What I found interesting is that their motivation of music if from fear! During the time of the missile crisis, it was a horrifying impact to peoples minds. Which I can clearly hear from their music.
 
The Pop Group
Lets put some funk into punk haha Mark Stewart -lead singer- knows how to project this unkindly scary voice, which made it so amazing! one ofa kind haha the same fear and paranoia inspired to make this music. fuckin end of the world
oh boy such aggression to his voice and all the instruments combined. it was something I always wanted to project out and so this grabbed me very instantly.
 
got more bands to share

Whoo, a topic to celebrate Siouxsie and Bauhaus.
 
While I'm having the greatest difficulties labeling this specifically, I think this is dark wave with some new wave/synthpop influences. The project is called Linea Aspera and has already been abandoned in favor of a new one called Keluar (also worth listening to) but for now I prefer their first S/T album, which includes this really, really catchy song:
 
Kokushoku Elegy. When I spun this in a room on plug.dj, the first reactions I received were "wow, Japanese Siouxsie" which I think is more or less accurate. While not all their songs are evenly matched, most are very much worth listening to. Very underground:

Someone finally did it. I already thought a long time about making this thread, but I never pulled it through, because I didn't expected so much interest here. But good to see that some people are into the genre. Also glad to see many nice newcomers mentioned. Most people know or will stumble upon the classics (Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Banshees) and I think it is more important to give the more unknown bands a spotlight.
 
Also glad that so far no one has mentioned anything like Blutengel, Rammstein, Motionless in White or Within Temptation. Because they are just not goth.
 
She Past Away are amazing, I just bought their second album. I do not agree with the Sisters of Mercy comparisons, that people often mention. Yeah, the singer has a very low and dark voice, but their music is still very different from the Sisters Hardrock influenced Post-Punk. She Past Away are, to me, colder, mysterious and distanced sounding.
 
Some recommendations of mine:
 
 
 
Sixth June
Since Linea Aspera have mentioned, this band also falls into a similiar genre, a mix of electro-, minimal- and dark wave. Also feautures a female vocalist.
 


 
Winter Severity Index
An all female band with a very nice, 80s sound. They are associated with the current coldwave revival thing (not sure how much this ties in with the original french coldwave of the 80s, but I guess so, since they have that sound). Really nice, athmospheric and melancholic music with lots of ambience. Their music is really soothing and calming, The Brightest Days is however hella catchy.
 


 
Catholic Spit
They are a Southern California based Death Rock group with a very distinctive sound. At least I haven‘t heard so many bands sounding like them. Which makes me glad, since many deathrock groups have the problem of trying to imitate Christian Death and end up being lame copies. Very punky sound and their style reminds me of old horror movie or tv show soundtracks.
 


 
Pink Turns Blue
German Post-Punk band with a really melancholic mood, for which they are associated with the goth and darkwave scene. I really enjoy their earlier albums. They were active  from the late 80s to 90s and reunited in 2003.
 


 
Soror Dolorosa
Now a band where the Sisters comparisons may fit. Though sometimes they remind me more of Bauhaus. Like many other coldwave groups they are hailing from France and impress with their wonderful angsty post-punk tunes.
 
 
(I hope my video links are working, Firefox does not show me any videos >_>)

Samhain
Fans of Misfits and Danzing will be very familiar with these guys as this was one of Glenn Danzig's bands. There's some Misfits punk left in the sound, and Danzig's characteristic vocals are present, but musically Samhain was darker, more sombre, macabre and eerie than Misfits.
Listen
Listen
 
Christian Death
Christian Death' debut album, Only Theatre of Pain, is often considered THE deathrock album, and with good reason. I prefer Samhain to Christian Death myself, but this album, as well as the EP Deathwish, are must-haves for any fans of deathrock/gothic rock. Simple as that.
Listen
 
45 Grave
Cult band that should be familiar to anyone into the genre, or horror films actually. Best known for Partytime which was included on the cult classic The Return of the Living Dead.
Listen
 
The Damned
I can't say I am too familiar with this band, but Phantasmagoria is a total classic. Dark and eerie goth rock. Those vocals, man.
Listen
 
Beastmilk
A newer post-punk band who changed their name from Beastmilk to Grave Pleasures following the departure of their guitarist. Features Kvhost previously of Dødheimsgard, Code, Hexvessel and more. Superb band!

I'm not really into this type of revival music, but def gonna check out what you've linked so far.
 
I do listen to some Noir Deco now and then, I guess they fit here?
 


 
...they even have a song titled "Escape with Snake Plissken" hehe.
