| Music Finally, an entire forum devoted to talking about Doktor Avalanche, the drum machine for the Sisters of Mercy. You can talk about other bands, or other members of that band, too, if you want to be UNCOOL. |

Favorite band of all!
Well, they conflict with A Spectre Is Haunting Europe and LAM every now and then.

I like em a bit. They seem too hung up on imagery over lyrics sometimes though.

High five
I like London after Midnight as well, and these guys rock. Maybe the making babies thing wasn't a bad idea

Wow, I didn't like that.
I don't know what it's called, but the way he's singing is very similar to LAM, and I hate it.
I did give them a fair chance, but the vocals and the lyrics are just terrible.

Similar to LAM? Stitch has an entirely different voice. It's more fit to punk than to deathrock. Brennan's voice is definitely not punk-like.

I fucking love All Gone Dead. They're awesome to dance to - NewSpeak (Room 101) is a staple at the deathrock club here.
And I want to be Darlin' Grave when I grow up.

Real gothic rock in 2006 and 2007?
Holy shit, I'm fucking failing at keeping up with what's worth a damn.
Thank you, Graveyard. This is awesome. To think, I told someone today that I thought goth rock was dead.

BTW, I recommend you guys check out All Gone Dead's friends' list because they're all pretty sweet as well. Again, many thanks Graveyard.
How did you find out about them, BTW?

Yeah, but what's going to happen to the band now that Barb & Ben are broken up? How about this new Tony guy Barb is seeing? What? Is he gonna join the group now? Poor Stitch.

It was this band that made me more careful to LISTEN to something before getting an album. I got "Fallen and Forgotten" and it just didn't strike anything with me.

Hm, I was about to write them off before getting to "Within but not Before." They're not the best damn group I've ever heard in my life, but I'll look into them, par chance.

And I'm glad there is. Even if I don't take to the particular band, I'm glad the genre's not entirely dead.

I don't think that really matters. I mean, if it all turned to shit, but still existed...that wouldn't be any better than if it didn't exist at all. At least not for me.

I have to agree with Haunted House here. This band just doesn't impress me. The only reason they're popular in the scene right now is because there's NOTHING ELSE! In my opinion anyways. They sound a lot like Tragic Black, the band they came from. That and Kommunity FK. To the point where it's uninspired.

I think a lot of newer goth bands actually sound EXACTLY the same.
I just heard March Violets last night...and there was nothing unique about their sound at all.
I went through a couple other bands on the GOTH box set, and they're just all the same.

The March Violets aren't new, though. They were from around the same time as the Sisters.
I would recomend Frank the Baptist to you, but I don't know if you'd like them or not.

Oh, they're not new?
That's good for them, then, but they still sound like a bunch of other bands. But it is cool that at least they aren't the ones being unoriginal.

Eh, mediocre I guess. Some of the songs are a little too much VNV Nation and not enough Sisters of Mercy for my taste, and those with decent melodies are sort of hampered by the vocalist's not-quite-stellar talent.

I wouldn't call AGD's sound 'gothic rock'. To me they're just a 'goth-friendly' band with deathhawks and 1984 references and that's about it. Doesn't change the fact that I like them.
And to all you people seeing nothing new and original in the scene... check out the likes of Chants of Maldoror, Bohemien, Deadchovsky and the Scary Bitches. The European scene is where it's at nowadays.
