GothCast

Dr.Sanders and Bryan examine the first four albums from Clan of Xymox. This band has a sound as unique as the fact that their name keeps changing, but the duo will see just how well their releases hold up today. The albums covered are Clan of Xymox (1985), Medusa (1986), Twist of Shadows (1989), and Phoenix (1991).

Dr.Sanders and Bryan take a trip to the Bates Motel in this episode as they break down the first three movies in Psycho franchise.

Dr.Sanders and Bryan take a look at Peter Murphy's career after leaving Bauhaus and branching out on his own. This episode covers Dali's Car, Should the World Fail to Fall Apart (1986), Love Hysteria (1988), Deep (1989), and Holy Smoke (1992). It's an interesting journey and Holy Smoke does it get good!

Join Dr.Sanders and cohost Bryan during their look into the interesting career of The Danse Society. This band has undergone almost a complete transformation over the years, but still align themselves closely with goth music. They cover the albums Seduction (1982), Heaven Is Waiting (1983), Looking Through (1986), and Change of Skin (2011).

Finally Part 2 of our discussion on Marilyn Manson. Well....sort of, this time we have James whereas Part 1 had Robbie Gore. Anyway, this was an interesting time for Manson that was full of continued controversy and dramatic shifts in his sound. Listen to find out our thoughts on The Golden Age of Grotesque (2003), Eat Me Drink Me (2007), The High End of Low (2009), and Born Villain (2012).

It’s time to talk about one of the most unique artists associated with goth. It’s the man, the myth, the….man?….it’s Aurelio Voltaire! Dr.Sanders and James have a great time as they discuss his first four albums and some of the many MANY other things he has created. This ended up being a weird episode of GothCast.

On this episode of GothCast, Dr.Sanders and James discuss four releases from the always romantic London After Midnight. Their albums are diverse and contained some dramatic shifts in sound. We cover the albums Selected Scenes from the End of the World (1992), Psycho Magnet (1996), Oddities (1998), and Violent Acts of Beauty (2007). Let’s see how they hold up today! 

This is the first episode without Robbie Gore and the first withJames Quinn. Alien is one of the biggest film franchises of all time and this time we're taking a look at Alien (1979), Aliens (1986), and Alien³ (1992). This was a fun episode to record and one that was instrumental in continuing GothCast as we know it.

This episode we take a look at the work Rozz had released using the name "Christian Death featuring Rozz Williams" after his departure from Christian Death. This does not include Shadow Project as we will be covering that in a separate episode. However, this material is not often discussed, and we felt it would be a great third installment into our Christian Death series. A series of strange legal events led to this unusual naming, but do these albums still resonate with us today?

This week we take a look at the career of an iconic band as we discuss Specimen and their music and fashion's impact on the gothic subculture. We cover the albums Azoic (1997). Electric Ballroom (2007, Alive at the Batcave (2009), and Wake the Dead (2013). The line-ups changed quite a bit as well as the sound, but it's undoubtedly Specimen.
