    wazzara: Arbor

    Ça faisait un petit moment que je l’attendais, du coin de l’œil: le nouvel album de wazzara, Arbor, est sorti. Et il est très impressionnant, entre doom gothique et blackgaze.

  2. I really need to get some heavy metal pins for my rotation of pins I wear every day. Some #crossover #deathmetal #blackmetal #doommetal and even #gothmetal pins would be fantastic, especially because so many #metal bands have awesome design work.

  4. Hmmm...

    It's a Type O Negative sort of mood right now.

    If you get that, you're old and you rock.

  5. Waking up today to a couple cups of coffee and the album Draconian Times by British #goth #metal band Paradise Lost which is a really great album I've enjoyed the hell out of.

  7. Ooh look what turned up at The Ken Den. It's only the rather excellent Never, Neverland album by Unto Others on the compact disc medium. I bought it and so should YOU! 🤘😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  9. Started my day today with October Rust by Type O Negative, absolutely killer record. Goth + metal is such a logical combination, and nobody does it better than them.

  11. Watching #SwallowTheSun but have to sit away from everything because chronic pain issues are too much right now.

    Still, great show.

  14. Hot take: James Hetfield is an artsy fartsy motherfucker

    Evidence: Im working on a choir cover of King Nothing, and realized that what he did when writing it was tune the E string down a half step to make it sound twangier, then distorted the absolute fuck out of it to make it sound scarier... and damn if it doesnt work brilliantly

    For non-musicians: re-tuning one string but not the others makes every fingering you ever learned, completely useless

  16. I couldn't decide between goth or metal this afternoon, so I just met in the middle and decided to blast some Type O Negative instead, best of both worlds.

  18. CW: Music video in link has women wearing nipple tape

    Listening to Vlad in Tears led me to Hell Boulevard. I instantly knew this song is going in my exercise playlist.

    And we're all mad here
    Black holes to disappear
    You know happiness
    Is not merciless
    And we're all dead here
    Satan in wonderland

  20. Michael Jackson's Thriller has been covered countless times, usually as an upbeat dance song.

    I prefer The Lovecrave's version, that throws the dance beat out the window and reimagines the song in a true goth metal style. Thank the gods it's Friday, it's been a long week.

  22. Am I just a nostalgic goth or am I incubating a cursed attempt at old-fashioned goth metal for #fawm? Listening to "Velvet Darkness They fear" by Theatre of Tragedy.

    The grunts are something I could do without. Most modern growlers blow that performance clean out of the water.

  23. I wonder what happened to the gothic metal band Forever Slave? They released 2 good albums in the 2000's and were never heard from again. These albums are not even available on most streaming services.

    Here is "Kristin A.I.D.S." from their album Tales For Bad Girls.

  25. Just found out that Nate Garrett from #SpiritsAdrift is the sole member of the #TypeONegative inspired #GothMetal band #NeonNightmare.

    I'll take more Type O type music where I can get it (as long as it just isn't directly copying that band, looking at you October Nior).

  27. Fourth Dominion – Diana’s Day Review

    By Iceberg

    August promo-picking gets weird around the Sump, weird enough even for this reviewer’s detritus-sifting sensibilities. But the sophomore album from Rochester, NY’s Fourth Dominion stood out to me for two reasons. First: a quietly stunning, lovely piece of album art. Secondly: the multiple genre drops of gothic metal, post-punk, and a peculiar term new to me: “deathwave.” Lead vocalist and primary songwriter Meadow Wyand seems to have coined the term to describe the burgeoning gothic/alt-metal scene, a style encapsulated by the much-loved moniker Chameleons, Unto Others. That comparison, along with a bevy of other name drops that we’ll get into below, was enough to get me on board the dark, melancholy pagan train of Diana’s Day.

    The image conjured up by the term deathwave—a blend of dark metal and new-wave—is fitting for parts of Diana’s Day, but that doesn’t reveal the whole picture. There’s a lot of infectious punk and post-punk energy here, blending the fuck-you attitude of Hole with the ‘80s strut of Siouxsie and the Banshees. While Wyand channels the dry, droning vocal styles of The Cure and early ‘00s AFI, the rest of the band plows ahead with NWoBHM laced riffs (“From Below,” “Hill of Swords”) and more mid-tempo Untoothers swagger (“Lilim,” “Goetia”). The production here deserves mention, punching well above its weight. There’s a pleasant, crackling quality to the bass guitar throughout, lending drive and texture to the instrumental breaks (“Bloodstains,” “Lilim”). The roomy master with a DR 9 lets all the layers of guitars—which are bountiful—sit in their own corner of the sound world, rewarding repeat listens. What starts off sounding like a standard punky garage band record reveals layer after layer, something unexpected given the musical style presented.

    Fourth Dominion write tight, punchy goth rock songs that aim to smack you in the mouth and get out before you can react. Tracks are lean and cut to radio-friendly proportion, generally consisting of an intro, verse-chorus pattern, bridge and outro. Trimmed-down structures like this tend to be over-reliant on their choruses for memorability, and the band manage to deliver some strong ones (“Burn the Prisons,” “Hill of Swords,” “Casca Dreaming”). The guitar leads, when they crop up, are of note and well executed, hearkening back to the NWoBHM influences (“Lilim,” “Her Wings”). A compelling trio of songs closes the album, leaning heavily on picked acoustic guitars, forming a kind of reflective, ballad-esque triptych. Combined with the raucous, off-beat energy in the center of “Her Wings,” this trio shows a completely different side of Fourth Dominion, which unfortunately makes for something of a lopsided listening experience.

    There are still formidable obstacles standing in the way of Fourth Dominion delivering a great entry in the goth-rock pantheon. Truth be told, I believe Meadow Wyand’s vocal delivery is going to be a make-or-break point for many listeners, and it depends on your tolerance for the punk, post-punk style of singing. Her earnest, lyric-driven style is on brand with the band’s new-wave/gothic roots, but the combination of a siloed, upfront mix and a focus on a pitched, mid-range performance weakens many of the tracks. When she reaches into her higher register (the final chorus of “Bloodstains”) or lower (“Lilim,” “Death in Fall”) she delivers her most convincing performances. The aforementioned slim song structures devolve into repetitive forms as the album continues, and the variety found in “From Below” or the very groovy “Tormenta Purgatoria” would pay dividends spread throughout the record.

    Diana’s Day takes some getting used to, but once acclimated, and upon closer inspection, there’s a breath of fresh air contained in here. It’s clear Wyand poured her heart and soul into the lyrical content of this album, and the impact of the closing tracks speaks volumes about the shared human experience of trauma and release. I think with a renewed focus on their strengths (guitar leads, variety of structure) and a better mix/variety for Wyand’s vocals the band would find a place for themselves amongst the “darkwave” elite. Until that time, I cautiously recommend Fourth Dominion for fans of new gothic metal and punk nostalgia. Something to break up the blasts and brees.
