Your "goth" Band

[Necromanta]

This thread makes me want to become a pretentious asshole about music.

I see so much electronic being included in the goth genre.

Synthpop is not goth.

The Cure clearly stated that they refused the title of gothic.

Kind of like Nick Cave did with the Birthday Party.

Yes, Anthony.. I am a dick. :]

I think one of the basic requirements for being goth is first and foremost refusing to label ones self as goth...

OMG - are they still together? I caught them once at the Old Miami about 14 years ago maybe? They were TWISTED. LOVED 'em.

And what? No Twistin' Tarantulas/3D Invisibles/Volcanoes/etc.?

OMG - I just found videos from them on freaking YouTube. CreepyRick LIVES!!! OMG!!!

Forgot to include them in my smartass post!

And no, not the old Detroit band - The Henchmen listed above are a young psycho band from SoCal.

I agree. I am trying to keep my mouth shut and not go nuts. *Breaths deeply*

[Nivek Novisad]

As it stands

Christian Death (fronted by Rozz)

Das Ich (Bruno and Stefan are my teutonic heros)

And my recent penchant for Mexican Agrotech

Hocico

Amduscia

Dulce Liquido(see Hocico)

My musical journey has taken me from mainstream techno and electronica in the early 90's to the darker end of the musical spectrum. From prodigy and Underworld (clearly not goth) on my tapedeck, then my tastes morphing to Haujobb, and Front 242. Puppy, Laibach then Rammstein with a dash of Type-O. Throw in a little anger with Funker Vogt and blend with a little habenero to get Hocico. VNV Nation, Assemblage 23 and the other Bob Hoskins in a black workshirt groups (a friend's description of Ronan) also tickled my fancy. A little Clan of Xymox and Sisters here and there. And for cheese factor, Ikon the aussie band. My rivothead nirvanna lies in horrible power noise like Panzer Division.

Amid my journey i started dabbeling in the roots of it all (dark music) Joy Division, Siouxsie, and Bauhaus. Then i heard Romeo's Distress for the first time and everything changed I then got hooked on Christian Death.

Yeah, not all of the same grain, multi faceted. Good and bad

It's hard to keep your mouth shut though when you surround yourself with the actual goth rock/deathrock genres. People think that the new scene of synthpop/EBM/TBM are all included in what the 80s culture originally was.

I don't see any forms of influence of eloquent punk in Industrial. >_>

As the original author of the thread stated.... it is not supposed to ignite the argument over what is or is not goth... he was just curious as to what people thought of....

[Brother_Hood]

damn all these have been mentioned but....

Sisters of Mercy

Nosferatu

Fields of Nefilim

the Cure (old)

Bauhaus

Siousxie

Rosetta Stone

This is a great post, I'm going to take a look at some of music from the bands posted that I haven't heard of...

You should know better than that. You can't even say the word goth on a goth board and not have a huge debate about "what is and is not goth" explode therein and be discussed IRL by the people in the thread and spill over into three other threads.

I think the term Goth has come to encompass quiet a large spectrum of music these days. Though the first band that always comes to mind is Bauhaus, ... closely followed by Joy Division.

Yes, such as dark anarcho punk, dark minimal wave, spooky psychobilly, and other post-punk and gothic punk related genres. Thankfully, aside from darkwave, goth isn't based around industrial metal/dance or EBM.

[LuluVox]

There's honestly a band called Release the Bats?? Well then, I think my new smirking Nick avatar is more than appropriate.

She moves to the pace of her generator, says damn that sex supreme. She says damn that horror bat, sex vampire, cool machine.

Yeah, you try telling our scene (or most other scenes) that and see where it lands you. I'll tell you where, bickering with a guy like me about it.

Granted in the traditional sense neither genre belongs near each other, but both are so small that they just threw them together to fill in the gaps and the stuff you could dance to easily won out since the DJs want to get warm bodies on the floor most of all.

They're really good. They did an album called Ever Pleasent Smile. Very new-wave-y goth.
