Shellshocked Radio Music Recommendations

Yes, yes, yes ... this is NOT Darkwave, Gothic Rock or Industrial Metal, BUT it is such a great "old School" sounding song.  Reminiscing the  @The Beatles  or other 70's like the  @The Doors  or  @The Rolling Stones  .  It is just a very well made and pleasant song to listen to.  So even though it is very far out of my usual oeuvre, I can highly recomme...

Yeah! Mesh!  They are quite well known in Germany and Scandinavia ... the prophet does mean sh&%$t in its own country, eh?  I have to confess though, that I got to know them as I was living in Canada, in the lovely Montreal. Introduced by my even lovelier "Quebecois"  Girlfriend back then ... well, good times and fond memories ... ;)  Anyway, I always admired their social c...

Hey Guys,   another German Band today  @unzuchtofficial  refreshingly not  @Rammstein Official  they make their own brand of poppy, rock and sometimes even metal tunes.  Very enjoyable and around for quite some time already.  So my recommendation of today is their song: "Engel der Vernichtung" (Angel of Destruction / Annihilation)    https://youtu.be/6Q...

Well, the  @PixiesOfficial  ... I guess no introduction is needed for this Alternative, Indie, Pop Rock Gem which is with us since 1986.  I already covered their most famous song "Where is my mind" here in my recommendation Playlist:    https://youtu.be/TitL4wnVVc8   but "Velouria" is nothing to hide as well. Quirky, weird Pop Rock at its finest!  Check out this...

Hey Guys,    after my Trio recommendation a more "fitting" one. Rabia Sorda "Heart Eating Crows" is more Industrial, harsh electronics or aggro tech.  So definitely fitting to a Gothic, Darkwave and Industrial Channel.   I have to admit that I just started to scratch the surface from all the songs they have, but as they are still around, I hope to find out more along the way.&n...

Hey Guys,   please believe me, this is definitely not a joke but a serious recommendation.  Even though this is a very unusual Song for my usual oeuvre or portfolio.  BUT I was very young and definitely in my formative years as I discovered this song on the old cassettes of my father.  Growing up behind the iron curtain, it was not easy to get such "imperialistic and capitalist...

​  @Garmarna Official  have been around since 1990 specializing in Folk Songs where they use old Swedish Folk Ballads as bases for their music and songs.  So this song "Nåden" sounds very "folksy" reminding me of an children's song in parts.  And I don't mean this disrespectful, hell, I recommend the song! It is a really dance-able, updated version of a folk ballad.  Music...

Hey Guys,   today, my good friend  @Dimi Kaye   who is a really great musician and very versatile.  He is also a "gun for hire" if you need some musical advice, help or even a whole song, he is your man! I had him twice on my Shellshocked Radio Talk Show already:   https://youtu.be/mTMCqDx7hP0   here the second talk:   https://youtu.be/BVcJSnb65vU   and...

This is one of these songs you just have to listen to!   @Irving Force  is definitely a Force to be behold with.  So much Stockholm Syndrome and Swedish Metal Goodness.  This Song will rock your ass off for sure. Adam / Irving is just a Industrial Metal God!!   https://youtu.be/QqeDqSKl8o4   https://open.spotify.com/track/2iravvYp23s9wmKFx78QNV?si=ba2febb0e5584f81 &nb...

Hey Guys,    I just realized that I have NOT made a recommendation for  @LACRIMOSAofficial   @Lacrimosa Forever by Wenn Ich Träume Lacrimosa  done yet. How is this possible? They kind of were the very first band which I ever heard making Gothic Rock or as I called it back then Dark Wave with guitars.   Back then in Hamburg ... as I was for the very first time in...

Well this is a more recent song again from an artist I just discovered.  Patient 82 does Synth Wave, Cold Wave, electronica or nothing of all these ... he just makes great music!  So far I know two songs of him and love both.   "Falling" deals with as he describes it: "The frustration of modern life, being stuck in the same cycle day in, day out and searching for the escape." ...

Hey Guys,   today a "classic", showing me how I get on in age ... ;)  @The Offspring  have been around for so long ... and still are active thankfully.  They have some "simple" fun songs, but this one is a bit more somber and serious.  Still in their usual pop punk manner, but food for thought nevertheless.  I also really like the video:   https://youtu.be/7iNbni...

Hey Guys,   can you remember when you found a really cool band with great songs and nobody knew them and you could tell all your friends about them?  This is how I feel about  @Broken Links    They make great music! If you like  @Muse  , you will love Broken Links!  They are a Trio from the UK as well, and make their very distinct version of great alternativ...

Yeah, this is nothing but Butterflies and Sunshine ... when your Song starts with the lyrics "Live is just pain and piss, nothing that I would miss ..."  You instantly know that your in for a tread ... if you like dark music like me.  So F&%$ off Butterflies and Sunshine, these are lyrics a suicidal person could have written ... so please be a bit cautious with  @WoodsOfYpresVEV...

Hey guys,   once again a short one because ... what can I add to  @Deine Lakaien - Topic   @Deine Lakaien  ?  They have been around for so long and produced so many great songs, it is really hard to chose just one, and I could recommend just the band and their whole body of work, like with  @officialkmfdm  or  @Depeche Mode  .  But I like espe...

Hell Yeah! This is 80's synth Goth done goddamn right! These two "Twins" ;) from Texas don't re-invent the wheel, Gothic / Post Punk that is in this case,  BUT what they do the do damn right. This is old school Synth Goth done right!  Check out this great song:   https://youtu.be/OOORlxp4FxA   https://open.spotify.com/track/07LRjvNrvSE311BWlwRptq?si=c55e227064ff463c   and...

A short one today, in the midst of  @Marilyn Manson  Contracult Collective, Ministry,  @Nine Inch Nails  and  @Rob Zombie  you will find  @Heartlay  , this is my kind of music, this is Industrial of the finest caliber:   https://youtu.be/PqqfDvZ9fb4   https://open.spotify.com/track/2yttAqg6460ruA3HYVT2Fp?si=2b74524712a84f48   and, of course, h...

Well guys, today I need your help! Maybe the "wisdom of the crowd (cloud)" can help me get in contact with the Guys from "Full Contact 69" as they apparently live very close by in the Capital City of Thuringia (my home county, here in Germany) so basically "across the street" from me but I have never met them or had contact with them yet.  So if everyone knows these guys who are behind the gr...

Hey guys,      @VNV Nation  is like  @Depeche Mode  or  @officialkmfdm   one of these bands where it is tough to recommend just a single song.  I got to know them through my girlfriend from Canada & was very happy to discover the vast body of work they have already created.  I even got married to one of their songs, but this will be a late...

Lets talk about "Blood" today! :)   This song "Destroy" brought the artist on my radar and I wanted to know more about him, so I sat down with him for a "Shellshocked Radio - Talk", here it is:   https://youtu.be/PsaHRA0QURU   if you want some background information about the artist, the song and  @Cleopatra Records  .   The song itself is very toned down and not over...

Hell Yeah! A criminally underrated German Metal Band today!  Corroding Sun (cool Band name btw. ...) is a German Metal Band from which I know almost nothing about.  They exist since 2015 and are from Germany my Home Country or Fatherland, Motherland ... however you wanna call it ;)  I think they deserve more recognition!  Which is the most underrated Metal Band for you? Please...

Hell Yeah!   @FleischKrieg  made a real cool version out of the poppy pop song from  @Frankie Goes To Hollywood  .  The music is much better now ;) and the video is so "raunchy" that  @YouTube  even asks you if you want to proceed ... what a Kindergarten the Internet has become ... Trust me, you want to proceed :)   https://youtu.be/8zk4jnu2O88   https:...

So, to get you angry right away,  @KiteHQ  is great but a very good example for an observation which might give a few of us hope ;)  You do not have to be pretty to make good (pop) music :)  As the singer, Nicklas, is nothing to "write home about".  His brittle and non-strong voice fits perfectly into this grand, delicate Pop, especially in the Song "Dance Again", so pleas...

Hey Guys,   yes, I'm a big fanboy of Ministry, no doubt about that, nevertheless I honestly can recommend this great song "Search and Destroy" from them.  I'm just happy that they are still around making kick ass music.  This song is a slight departure from their usual, more "speedy" kind of industrial Rock, here Al Jourgensen gives an explanation why:  https://youtu.be/q2rX3Ww...

This is Heavy Happy Instrumental Rock Music from Patrick Stegner from which I know nothing ...  I think he is a German, he can play his guitar very well and I like his Instrumental outing: "Freaking Me Out", that is all I know ...  But as I want to provide you with little unknown Gems, so that you can listen to new things and do not hear the same songs and artists over and over again ......
