#gothicrock #childrenofsalo

🇬🇧 Killing Joke "A Love Like Blood" – 1985

Jaz Coleman delivers a controlled yet passionate vocal performance, elevating the track’s themes of love, sacrifice, and existential tension. The production is cleaner than earlier work, allowing the melody to take center stage without losing weight...

Today's music:

LITTLE EVIL - GRAVEYARD KISSES

https://youtu.be/T7AwupraZ-k

#rock #GothicRock #usa #music #np #NowPlaying #MastoMusic

Released today 44 years ago:

🇬🇧 The Cure "Pornography" – 1982

A claustrophobic and uncompromising climax to the band’s early dark trilogy. Robert Smith’s vocals are intense and fractured reinforcing themes of despair, isolation, and emotional collapse. The production is deliberately heavy and suffocating, with repetition and distortion used to heighten tension...

Released today 37 years ago:

🇬🇧 The Cure "Disintegration" – 1989

A vast, immersive statement built on atmosphere, repetition, and emotional intensity. Robert Smith’s vocal delivery moves between fragile introspection and desperate urgency, anchoring themes of love, loss, and existential drift...

There’s a certain kind of music that sits at the crossroads of 70s rock, Goth, and classic heavy metal. Where once I would have dubbed it retro or throwback metal, since 2010, it’s been easier to tag it Ghost-core for obvious reasons. Canada’s Spell fall into that rotpit, with a sound that has come close to what that Swedish supernatural entity did on their early albums. I liked 2020s Opulent Decay, but felt it was missing a certain x-factor needed to take it to the next level of stickiness. For whatever reason, I slept on their 2022 release Tragic Magic, but I’m here for 5th full-length Wretched Heart. Mostly because the lead single “Lilac” has been stuck deep in my brainpan for the last 2 months, compelling me to grab the promo and get reacquainted with these occult-loving Canucks. Their style still floats between 70s rock and Goth metal, with hooks at a premium, and when they nail their template, you get super-catchy chestnuts of pure rock glory. So, how much nailing can you expect from Wretched Heart?

More than I expected, actually. Since the last time I spent time with Spell, they’ve become much more consistent songsmiths, and over the course of Wretched Heart, you get a fun, hard-charging collection of tunes with enough raw charm to make you believe in magic. Of course, there’s “Lilac” which punches way above its weight with an irrestible blend of Ghost and Unto Others. It’s easily my favorite song so far in 2026, and I’ve been walking around singing the flower-powered chorus constantly, much to the chagrin of Madam X, who thinks I’m turning into a morbid florist. Play this song twice, and it will move into your brain and raise 3 generations of earworms. “Take My Life” is another entertainer with an interestingly weird blend of Goth, hard rock, and edgy emo. The chorus sticks on first exposure, and Cam Mayhem’s vocals at chorus-time pack just the right amount of emo angst to sell things. “Unquiet Graves” is a winning little gem, loaded with an intriguing blend of Goth and punk that checks all the right boxes. You’re treated to a winning chorus again, and the mood recalls the best of early Ghost.

Elsewhere, you’re introduced to “Oubliette,” which carries a strong Dawnbringer vibe and sounds like Chris Black dropped by to do guest vocals. It dials up the darkness and heaviness and really zaps the mind. Another highlight is “Exquisite Corpse.” It’s like Idle Hands / Unto Others had a love child with H.I.M., and that shouldn’t be a good thing, but fuck it all, this song is awesome. The chorus is G-money, and though I suspect it’s about necrophilia, I don’t even care and won’t stop spinning it and singing it in public. No song on Wretched Heart is filler, though opener “Dark Inertia” doesn’t put the band’s best foot forward, and the short, funeral home-appropriate interlude “In Duress” seems tacked on for no good reason. Other than that, it’s an elevator ride to the penthouse with one killer cut after another. At a trim, tidy 41 minutes and with most songs in the 4-minute window, this is an easy-breezy spin, and the good songs are made even better because Spell never step on their own meat by dragging things out needlessly.

I was on the fence with Cam Mayhem’s vocals when last I reviewed them, but I’m sold now. He’s like a cross between Papa Emeritus I-V, Chris Black, and Gabriel Franco (Untoothers). His offbeat delivery suits the songs and provides an identity to what Spell are doing. Everyone in the band is credited with guitar work, and the guitars are a huge part of the Spell experience. They run through 70s prog, hard rock, Goth, and metal, borrowing acorns from each genre and assembling sounds to suit moods adroitly. Some of the stuff here is surprisingly dark and heavy without losing the rocked-out vibe, and that’s a nifty feat. There’s even a healthy bass presence that adds some oomph to the sound. The big ticket is the improved songcraft, which is, at times, nigh impossible to resist.

Wretched Heart is a sizeable step up from what I heard back on Opulent Decay, and it seems Spell have come into their own. With Ghost gone to mainstream success and sleepy radio rock antics and Unto Others dropping the tooth jar last time, Spell are here to fill the gaps in your metal listening needs. If you want semi-dark music loaded with earworms and a cheery, tongue-in-cheek vibe, and you can look past that dayglow abortion of a band photo,1 plant this in your topsoil. Pairs well with summer gardening and corpse defiling.

Happy #birthday David J (1957)

"Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus (1979)

https://musiccloud.io/AJD5C

"David J was a founding member of the highly influential English post-punk band Bauhaus in 1978, playing bass. David J wrote the lyrics of several Bauhaus songs (including their first single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead"). He sang backing vocals on many songs, and sang lead on "Who Killed Mr Moonlight?". Bauhaus first broke up in 1983, reforming periodically at later times." :wiki:

#GothicRock #PostPunk #CD

Released today 46 years ago:

🇬🇧 The Cure "Seventeen Seconds" – 1980

A stark and minimalist turning point where The Cure move away from their debut’s lighter tone into something colder and more introspective. Robert Smith’s subdued vocal delivery reinforces the mood, letting atmosphere carry as much weight as melody.

Aujourd’hui je vous emmène à NewYork, la ville de Zohran, ville dans laquelle l’univers fragmenté de fashn est né. L'album n’est ni plus ni moins que le disque le plus inventif de ces 10 dernières années dans la scène alternative locale. Chaque morceau court et vit de sa propre personnalité, soutenant une exposition panoramique des influences qui sont les leurs. Ca part du coté de la #VaporWave et du #Shoegaze de Chris††† et aussi vers la scène #hyperpop et le #GothicRock de Deb Demure (l'incroyable Drab Magesty). Ils dynamitent et explosent le nombre de couches composant les résolutions mélodiques et c’est dynamiquement fantastique.
