Myspace music search is down.

Del, if you don't mind me asking, how do you expand your music repertoire?

I think in the last... well, couple of months I've heard of just one new current group named Phantom Vision. There was also Open Paradise or something of that nature.

But I've been kinda wondering what's been in the pipelines in regards of more.... current deathrock and gothrock. Old school is good, but yeah. It's kinda hard for me to find. Hell, I have no problems finding the goth friendly electronica. But I kinda miss the jangly guitars and deconstructive sounds of yesteryear bands.

Mother fuckin Metallica bitches

[dreamydancer]

Oh wow, you're so cool listening to the biggest poseur metal band of all time. Well, maybe that's not true. But I do think they suck hardcore.

"Transmission" ~ Joy Division

All you motherfuckers talk about how Metallica is mainstream.

Point number one: What did Metallica do for Metal. They brought it to the masses. The reason they're mainstream is because they invented the mainstream metal sound. They were faster louder and "Idon't give a Fuck"ier than anything preceding.

Point two. The fact the anybody that talks about metallica being mainstream and are therefore gay, shouldn't be listening to metal period. Every metal, emo(Gay), blackmetal (Gay), and Deathmetal band of the last 15 years was inspired by Metallica. With the exception of Cradle.. but they suck anyway.

Your constant use of the word gay to describe everything you don't like is losing you points here.

Atleast my favourite band still exists and wouldn't try to extort a grand out of my student arse for the final concert.

Deuche.

Linkbroken, stop talking out of your arse.

NO black metal bands were influenced by metallica.

HAHA!!! Yeah kid, keep telling yourself that. Metallica may have been fun in the 80's, but they didn't "bring metal to the masses," they sold out.

It's hard for me to condense how I do it into any sort of ordered process. For older things, I collect samplers of labels and branch out from there. There's also a couple older magazines and fanzines that tend to be worthwhile, although they can be hard to find, and especially with fanzines, the best tend to be the most expensive.

Older labels I've had the most luck I've had with recently are: Midnight Music, C'est La Mort, and L'Invitation Au Suicide. You might also get some luck picking up some old BBC radio samplers; anything that's been tagged by John Peel or Janice Long is going to have a great chance of being worthwhile.

New stuff is harder to pin down. Obviously, Strobelight and In the Night Time are great new deathrock labels. You may also want to check for lineups at Drop Dead Festival and the How To Destroy The Universe festival. Also, keep mindful of what scenes are most active, and look for post-punk, deathrock, post industrial, or noise / experimental bands from any of the more active scenes. CA and Italy are good places to look.

The rest I tend to find thanks to friends who are DJs and vinyl collectors, as well as things I manage to find that look appealing in different, more credible magazines. Unscene Magazine and Drop Dead Magazine are both good current publications.

Also, try to keep an eye on new things from Middle Pillar and Projekt (when it happens).

Hope that helps!
