🇬🇧 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...

Our Darkness – Die 100 besten Songs zwischen New Wave & Gothic laut Radio Eins (rbb)
Im Rahmen ihrer „Sommersonntage“ hat Radio Eins von rbb heute die 100 besten Songs zwischen New Wave & Gothic in einer 10-stündigen Sendung gespielt. Ermittelt wurden die Songs und das Ranking von einer 131-köpfigen Fachjury aus der Musikbranche. Ich kenne nicht alle Personen, konnte darunter jedoch wenige Vertreter aus dem Gothic-Bereich ausmachen. Andy und Campino von den Toten Hosen sind ja eher dem Punk-Rock zugeneigt, Tobias Künzel von den Prinzen (der sich in seiner Top10 als Veljanov/Deine Lakaien-Fan outet) und Rod Gonzales von den Ärzten (der eine persönliche Ansage für She’s In Parties von Bauhaus eingesprochen hat) hätte ich auch keine Genrekenntnisse zugetraut, einzig Bela B. war ja mal als Grufti unterwegs und hat ganz stabil Bela Lugosi’s Dead von Bauhaus auf 1 und Incubus Succubus von X-Mal Deutschland aud die 2 gesetzt hat. Gefeiert habe ich Thees Uhlmann (Tomte), der in seiner persönlichen Top10 keinen bekannten Hit auf die Spitzenposition gesetzt hat, sondern Angepasste Spießerschweine von Die Tödin aus dem Jahr 2023. Unter die besten 100 Songs hat dieses Lied es leider nicht geschafft. Von meinen Lieblingssongs neueren Datums landete dagegen immerhin Pain von Boy Harsher auf Platz 98.
Die Sendung ist in vier quasi ohrgerechten Häppchen à 2 Stunden in der ARD-Mediathek nachhörbar oder in einer Playlist bei Spotify.
Die allermeisten der Songs habe ich auch schon in den bisherigen 80 Sendungen vom GothDiscoInferno gespielt. 😉

The Bleak Picture – Shades of Life Review
By Maddog
It’s been a draining year. Lacking the mental energy for new music, I’ve subsisted on a diet of ISIS and Fvneral Fvkk. Clouded by the doomy stylings of the latter, I decided to make my return to reviewing with dismal death-doom. Despite releasing their debut just last year, Finland’s The Bleak Picture is a project of members of Autumnfall. That said, these two bands sound worlds apart, as their names betray. Abandoning the blackened scenery of Autumnfall, The Bleak Picture paints a bleak picture with melodic death-doom that reeks of Finland. Channeling the icons of sadboi history, Shades of Life is a flawed but worthwhile slab of morose doom.
You won’t find much innovation here, but The Bleak Picture has learned from the best. Blending harsh vocals and spoken word, doomy plains and deathy mountain ranges, Shades of Life consists of familiar elements. The opener “Plagued by Sorrow” offers the listener zero seconds of respite before launching into a persistent doom riff. Melodic guitar leads steer the album along, stitching the doomy cuts together in a manner that recalls Enshine (“Without the I”). Rather than slowing to a standstill, The Bleak Picture uses Insomnium riffs to push the album along without diluting its sorrow. The guitars (handled by Jussi Hänninen, along with the other instruments) are the core of Shades of Life, but Tero Ruohonen’s vocals broaden its horizons. While he largely dwells in standard harsh territory, Ruohonen’s cleans tinge the album with gothic influences, like the distorted spoken word of “Absolution.” Indeed, sections like the straightforward rock of “Without the I” recall Paradise Lost. However, lest this lengthy description fool you, Shades of Life is largely standard fare.
It feels criminal to listen to Shades of Life on a 90-degree summer day. The Bleak Picture conveys emotion through the sheer enormity of their riffs, burying the listener like an avalanche (“Absolution”). Elsewhere, Shades of Life deftly intersperses these assaults with tranquility, like the transition from an explosive chorus to minimalist bass-led instrumentals on “Plagued by Sorrow.” These strengths reach their apex on the 11-minute spectacle “Silent Exit.” Evoking Swallow the Sun’s Plague of Butterflies, the track progresses through a nightmarish acoustic melody, forceful doom riffs, and girthy bass lines. Cult of Luna-style drumming leads the song into a climactic ending that raises the bar even further. Across these highlights, The Bleak Picture’s sophomore release boasts a mature approach to songwriting.
Shades of Life still struggles to transcend its melodic death-doom formula. The album’s biggest weakness is its monotony. In their quest for chunky riffs, The Bleak Picture tends to overuse ideas, emulating an uninspired version of Rapture (“Code of Ethics”). Even the album’s best pieces sometimes fizzle out, like the abrupt ending of the otherwise-powerful “Absolution.” Similarly, while the penultimate track “Silent Exit” showcases the best of Shades of Life, the closer “City of Ghosts” settles into a low-energy doom routine that never picks up steam. Despite its apparent variety of influences, The Bleak Picture’s by-the-book approach to death-doom doesn’t always keep my interest.
An album like Shades of Life is difficult to dissect; its success hinges on the heart, not the brain. The Bleak Picture is on the right path, and tracks like “Silent Exit” hit hard with their bulky riffwork and creative variety. But as a whole, Shades of Life isn’t the gut punch I’d hoped for. It doesn’t match the raw power of Paradise Lost, the otherworldly sadness of Enshine, or the narrative prowess of Insomnium. Still, I have no regrets. There are strong whiffs of talent here, and with its mature and tempered approach to songwriting, Shades of Life is an easy, rewarding listen. It’s worth a shot for anyone who prefers moping over sunlight.

A new cover from Cemetery Skyline 🖤
-
It's snowing and I'm still very ill, so my #albumoftheday is a comfort listen. Cemetery Skyline is a supergroup of musicians from the Swedish and Finnish extreme metal scenes, so naturally they released a gothic rock album :D And their debut, simply named "Nordic Gothic", quickly became a favourite of mine. Give it a spin.
FFO: The Sisters of Mercy, Type O Negative, HIM, Charon, mid-00s Amorphis
