GothCast

This time Dr.Sanders and Robbie Gore take a close look at one of the

most influential bands in industrial music with Skinny Puppy. Their

aggressive sound has connected with many people in the goth subculture

although their music is not reminiscent of gothic rock or post-punk

groups. We hope you enjoy this conversation about industrial music's

relation to goth and the first four albums that Skinny Puppy produced.

This week we're discussing yet another classic gothic rock band,

Fields of the Nephilim. The band has definitely had an interesting

career and have had their ups and downs with members leaving,

interesting side-projects and record label interference. Dr.Sanders and

Robbie Gore take a look at their first four official albums Dawnrazor (1987), The Nephilim (1988), Elizium (1990), and Mourning Sun (2005) while also mentioning some of the behind the scenes obstacles faced by the band.

In this week's news segment we briefly discuss the death of legend David Bowie and our experience at a 45 Grave show.

This is our fourth and final part of our discussion about The Cure's

career and it covers their (as of 2016) most current album 4:13 Dream (2008),

oddities, and all of their official Live Albums. This particular episode

is full of mostly lesser known albums, but many of them come highly

recommended.

This week we're taking a look at a lesser known band called Rosetta

Stone. They were active from the mid-eighties until around the year 2000

and were definitely influenced by the evolving industrial scene during

the recording of their later albums. Early in the band's career they had

a very gothic rock sound that produced some very catchy and unique

tracks, but does their catalog of albums include a plethora of hidden

gems or merely a collection of average songs? Listen and find out what

we think of the albums An Eye For the Main Chance (1991), Adrenaline (1992), Chemical Emissions (1998), Unerotica (2000) and the live release Under the Rose (1991)

Note:

On this episode's news segment we discuss and wish David Bowie a Happy

69th Birthday. The day after recording the episode, David Bowie

unfortunately passed away due to complications from cancer.

We thought it would

be a great way to start the new year with another movie episode. So this

week we review three movies that are currently streaming on Netlfix (At least in America), and

they are Dark Star: H.R. Giger’s World (2014), Rosemary’s Baby (1968), and The Legend

of Hell House (1973). So if you're looking to add a little darkness to your new

year, these are some excellent choices whether you're looking for an

obscure horror film, a classic film, or a new perspective on a great

artist. We hope everyone enjoyed

their holidays and you enjoy this episode. Stay Spooky!

This week we take a look at Siouxsie and the Banshees' career through the mid to late eighties, covering A Kiss in the Dreamhouse (1982), Hyæna (1984), Tinderbox (1986) and Through the Looking Glass (1987). This was a time of solid releases all exploring similar but unique sounds that would solidify the band's reputation as one of the best Gothic Rock acts of all time. 

This time on GothCast we discuss a band that many people may have

heard of, but most have never taken the time to listen to. Red Lorry

Yellow Lorry are a band that are most well known for their album Talk

About The Weather, but released a number of albums throughout the

eighties and even one in the nineties. Does their work hold up as well

as classics like In The Flat Field and Disintegration? That's what we

try to figure out on this episode.We discuss the albums Talk About the Weather (1985), Paint Your Wagon (1986), Nothing Wrong (1988), and Blow (1989)

This week’s podcast is our third part in our ongoing discussion about

The Cure’s expansive career. This time we take a look at the albums

Wish (1992), Wild Mood Swings (1996), Bloodflowers (2000), and The Cure (2004). This was the

most difficult episode so far because of the nature of these albums.

There is experimentation, critical success and a dramatic changes in the

band during this time and it really helped shaped their sound for this

era.

I also want to mention that this episode does have a slightly heavier

subject for our news segment where we give our thoughts about the

Sophie Lancaster murder and its effect on the subculture.

This week’s episode of GothCast is another movie one, and it is

specifically about vampire movies. With all the saturation of Christmas

movies that comes right after the thanksgiving holiday, we felt like

everyone could use little vampire lore to lift their spirits.

Consequently, we chose to discuss three vampire movies which are very

famous in the gothic subculture, and those movies are The Lost Boys (1987),

Interview with the Vampire (1994), and Queen of the Damned (2002).

This week’s episode of GothCast is centered on the first part of Type O

Negative’s career as we discuss their albums Slow, Deep, and Hard (1991), The Origin of the Feces (1992) Bloody Kisses (1993), and October Rust (1996). The band had a knack for the confrontational and seemed to attract an immense amount of controversy early in their career, but very quickly opened their sound up to a more eclectic blend of melodies. This is Dr.Sanders favorite band.
