More random Gothic Rock song drops :) Mixing in more known bands with some deeper, under-the-radar cuts. At some point, I'll try to jump more into the 90s but there's just so much good stuff throughout the mid 80s period. I did throw in a track from 2002 that I had discovered around the mid-2000s that I greatly enjoyed though.

The Cure - A Strange Day (1982)

Blood and Roses - Spit Upon Your Grave (1983)

Blue Hollow - Color of Night (1985)

Trying to hit a good variance with this selection here. Like my last post, more under-the-radar cuts but tried to go a little more contemporary. It's always interesting to see the influences ranging from bass/80s synth/punkish undertones to more industrial atmospheric mood-influenced stuff.

Linea Aspera - Synapse

Twin Tribes - Shadows

Screams For Tina - Graveyard Mary

Because I can never get tired of classic early Goth Rock... You can see definitely see the influence of the late 70s/early 80s) post-punk scene bleeding into more of the eventual mid-80s New Wave sound as well. It's also interesting to note the definite influence from bands like Bauhaus, Siouxsie, Alien Sex Fiend, and The Cure by the mid to late 1980s on the "Goth" style sound (low, brooding bass emphasis... lots of kick... guitars chiming and sparkly)

Play Dead - Final Epitaph (1981)

Young Weasels - Twist & Burn (1982)

Lost Loved Ones - I Found You (1984)

Girl Under Glass - Rainy World (1986)

Stiff Kittens - Happy Now (1986)

Alien Sex Fiend - It Lives Again (1987)
