August 2022 - Subterranean Blackened Goth Special



    I got the idea of making such a mix years ago back when the black metal scene spawned more and more of these type of bands, post punk infused black metal that is. It was such a sight to behold and a rather odd mixture but one that worked. Over the course of the years more and more black metal bands popped up that showed an interest in goth rock. I guess you could say it was an natural evolution at the time. Going from blackened post punk to a rather mix of goth and black metal. Usually these types of bands that kept making the rounds were deathrock like Devil Master or one that is featured within the mix like Cursed Moon. A great mixture of first wave-like black metal and deathrock/goth rock. I guess you can best describe them as Bauhaus meets Venom.


    So many of these bands are more uncommon now, a fringe subgenre but still a subgenre. Enough to be noticed by those within the metal scene and does few from the goth scene that have become aware of their presence. One of the more recent releases would be Lamp of Murmuur's Submission and Slavery LP. Released late last year of the time of this entry, the album was a one off love letter to The Sisters of Mercy 1987 album Floodland.


    It has been the most definitive black metal/goth rock hybrid release known to date. Give there are more bands and releases in a somewhat similar fashion but this, Submission and Slavery LP hit that mark in every track on it. I high recommend checking it out in full.
