GothCast

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...

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...

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? Tha...

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 i...

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 ecle...

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...

In this week’s episode we have a very lively discussion over The Mission (UK)’s career, covering the albums Gods Own Medicine (1986), Children (1988), Carved in Sand (1990), and Masque (1992). Initially working with The Sisters of Mercy, Wayne Hussey was able to break off and form his own group that released some amazing records over the years.

This week we discuss the ever influential Siouxsie and the Banshees. In particular, we review their first four albums; The Scream (1978), Join Hands (1979, Kaleidoscope (1980)  and Juju (1981). Aside, from being an extremely popular and beloved band associated with the gothic subculture, Siouxsie and the Banshees are personal favorites of ours and we wanted to start from the beginning as many...

We know what you’re thinking… “the punk band?” Yes. “The Punk Band.” Actually, if you’re more familiar with this band you might not be thinking that because The Damned actually released some very popular gothic material in the eighties. Not only was it popular, but it was strong work which showed their ability to tackle a variety of styles and sounds with skill. In particular, their 1986 album Pha...

This week’s episode is another centered around gothic cinema (or at least movies most goths would appreciate.) Sticking with our form of discussing three movies, we decided to choose some movies that we consider to be classics that are not as watched as much as some other movies that have been adopted by the gothic subculture. We decided to review Suspiria (1977), Ed Wood (1994), and Only Lovers L...

In this week's episode of GothCast we take a look at perhaps one of the most influential bands in the deathrock scene, Christian Death. In particular, we discuss the album Only Theatre of Pain (1982), Catastrophe Ballet (1984) and Ashes (1985) which feature Rozz Williams as the lead vocalist. In addition, we felt it necessary to talk about Super Heroines in reference to Christian Death and the rol...

In this episode we continue our review of the The Cure’s career as we discuss the trajectory of their music over the course of the mid to late eighties. We cover the albums The Top (1984), The Head on the Door (1985), Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (1987), and Disintegration (1989). This time is often seen as the high-point of their career with a number of top singles, but do the records hold up today?

There is no denying that cinema has played a massively influential role in gothic music, fashion, and the entire subculture. Subsequently, we wanted to pay respect to three of our favorite films associated with gothic subculture. In this particular episode we take a look at Blade Runner (1982), The Crow (1994), and Let the Right One In (2008). This is probably one of the only episodes where Dr San...

Often considered the first full-fledged gothic-rock band to ever exist, Bauhaus is still supremely influential today. Dr. Sanders and Robbie Gore take a look at  their albums In the Flat Field (1980), Mask (1981), The Sky's Gone Out (1982), Burning from the Inside (1983) and Go Away White (2008)  while also discussing few select live releases.

In this episode we discuss The Sisters of Mercy's career and what has led them to be one of the most popular goth bands of all time. We talk about their albums First and Last and Always (1985), Floodland (1987), and Vision Thing (1990) while briefly covering the compilation albums which followed.

This is first episode of GothCast. It spawned a seemingly never ending series of episodes in which Dr. Sanders discusses things with other humans. In this episode Dr. Sanders and Robbie Gore discuss The Cure albums Three Imaginary Boys (1979), Seventeen Seconds (1980), Faith (1981), and Pornography (1982).
