Music of the Week – Funeral Parade – For You

Funeral Parade is one the most interesting bands in the renaissance of the death rock / post punk movement. This track is the last one from their 2010 demo, released on tape. Their sound is a very interesting mix of Bauhaus, Killing Joke and dirty punk attitude. Enjoy!

Music of the Week – The 69 Eyes – Velvet Touch

Time for one of the best 69 eyes tune ever from what I consider their best album, Savage Garden. The sound is a very well thought mix of The Cult from their dark years and energetic sleazy rock. The result is a romantic and very powerful song! Enjoy!

Music of the Week – Rosegarden Funeral – Black Orchid

In the last months, some more material from the legendary UK goth band Rosegarden Funeral has surfaced from the depths of the net. It’s a CD-R with a lot of unreleased demo tracks: four of them are from the early demo that I’ve reviewed here, the others are unreleased material. This is one of their […]

Music of the Week – Bill Fay – Garden Song

Time for some mellow psychedelic pop from the late ’60s! Bill Fay, sometimes called “the missing link between Nick Drake and Bob Dylan”, released only two album (the first in ’67, the second in ’71) before fading into oblivion in which he was into before being reprinted. Enjoy!

Music of the Week – The 69 Eyes – Voodoo Queen

Time for some early 69 Eyes material! Long before starting releasing goth-industrial (pretty cheesy, in my opinion) songs, 69 eyes played an explosive mix of glam rock (with a strong lean towards Hanoi Rocks, in fact Andy McCoy, Hanoi’s guitarist and author, even wrote a song for the 69 eyes), punk (Stooges and their offspring) […]

Music of the Week – Alive She Died – Dark Felt

Alive She Died was a Greek new wave band. Their sound is heavily focused on the synth and on the delicate female vocals, the melodies are simple but very atmospheric and heartfelt. They released only a demo, titled “Viva Voce” in 1985. Later, thanks to the net, two more recordings surfaced: a radio session with […]

Music of the Week – Zouo – Son of Satan

Zouo (Japanese for “hatred”) was one of the most interesting hardcore acts in Japan in the early ’80s. They released only an EP (the final agony) in 1984, and a split before fading into nothingness. They played a very harsh hardcore, borderline with black metal, both in the music and in the lyrics (the theme […]

Time for an unreleased track by Danzig! This one comes from the 1987 demo of the band, previous to the first Danzig album. This is one of the two unreleased song which are contained here, mortal sin, also known as when death had no name. The song is a bridge between the old Samhain sound […]

Music of the Week – Biziriba – Sanchoume no Yuuhi

Avant-gardish minimal pop from Kyoto. This track is off their self titled album released in 1995. The song title means “Sunset on the Third Street”. They mix a lot of influences, ranging from psychedelia to irregular rhythms, from dreamy landscapes to noisy interludes. The very good evanescent female vocals gives the music a touch of […]
