Shellshocked Radio Music Recommendations

Hey Guys,   I guess I do not have to say much to this band. Around since 1990, they have plowed their way through many festivals into the hearts and ears of fans world wide.   @In Flames  come from GOTHenburg. as I like to call it, a hub of creativity and many musicians / bands I like.  This song "Only for the weak" is a well crafted, ageless Rock song and I love to listen to i...

Heute hatte Sven Fischer, von der Band "Fischer" Zeit für mich gefunden. Momentan gibt es nur eine (sehr gute ;) Single von der Band, welche Ihr hier findet: https://youtu.be/-qwnUd3KEkg https://open.spotify.com/track/3Xfg397w9OrJtDOSsPzBWc?si=31a8479ddb5c4163 ABER, wie Ihr in unserem Gespräch erfahren werdet, gibt es bald auch ein neues Lied und nächstes Jahr auch die ersten Live Auftritte. Wir a...

Hell Yeah, check out this great song from  @Eisenherz  ! "Die Seele brennt" & I have to admit that "my soul is burning" as well as it seems that this great band is not longer with us.  If you, dear viewer / listener know anything about their whereabouts, please let me know in the comments or contact me.  I always want to know more about the bands which music I love, so if y...

Well, Mr. Johann Hölzel, much better known as  @FalcoVEVO  is unfortunately not longer with us, BUT his (quirky) songs will stay with us forever.  I was 10 years old as "Amadeus" hit the heavy radio rotation, so heavy that even in the GDR, behind the iron curtain (in the communist / Russian zone) you could not escape the "Wiener Schmäh" of this, now, Legend.  Falco was everywhe...

Hey Guys,   this is a great "sing along" Gothic rock song from "Withering Season" and I mean that in a positive way.  This could be one of the songs you will sing along when finally festivals are "allowed" again.  Great song, and very nice person behind the music. Check it out here:   https://youtu.be/bZHP4wxvpXM   https://open.spotify.com/track/6GuDO7NuDUHGRk8gIuQ8o6?si=d...

Well, not really much to say here from me. Russian Folk Metal done right, this is Grai.  In Russian the song title is: "Песня мертвой воды"  Check it out here:   https://youtu.be/o7apFS7NHCQ   https://open.spotify.com/track/6CzxgauvxkKbxOBwjGPRD2?si=58bb1c4bdeb44f31   and of course, here it is in my playlist:   https://playlist.shellshockedradio.com/link/griyke  ...

Hey Guys,   once again a real cool song from the mysterious artist Dark  ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3QYVa-ZeKeEvSkhLBDEeNw ) where I only know that he lives in Hamburg and uses models and other people to perform in his videos.  Like in the Video today, the model:    https://www.instagram.com/infernal.moth/   Gorgeous, no question about it ;) The music is perf...

Yeah, this is my kind of stuff! Post Punk, Gothic, Darkwave goodness with dark lyrics unashamed sullen, gloomy & dreadful ... I love it.  F... all the wholesome flower pop & honeybees goodness, I want darkness!  And  @Silent Runners  delivers that!  Check out their great Song "Roadkill" and marvel at the quirky dance routines in the video:   https://youtu.be/q...

Hey Guys,   once again a mystery band here in my recommendations.   @UltraKiller  with "Warp Speed". Cinematic, heavy, synth wave, great music!  Not much more I can tell you about them, check out the song here:  https://youtu.be/b8I08CjkGkY  or here:   https://open.spotify.com/track/1HAMVwNQxllcUjIGsB6UNz?si=25e25ec45bc343b7  and here they are in my playlist...

Hell Yeah! Ewigheim is still one of the most underrated German Gothic Bands.  The Vision Bleak or Eisregen are far better known, but Ewigheim is just great in their unapologetic, raw, simple but efficient delivery.  This music, this song takes no prisoners and delivers exactly what you want from a good Gothic Rock Song.  Driving rhythms, cool vocal delivery ... no holds barred ... s...

​  @Sylvaine  is hard to classify genre wise.  She does enchanting #soundscapes which defy genre walls.  I would say this song "L'Appel Du Vide" could be put somewhere into #folk #folkmetal with #cinematic #fairy #pixie like female vocals.  Really hard to say ...  What is easy for me to say though, is that I love this song and you surely should check it out!   ht...

Hey Guys,   I guess my very first band from Serbia I recommend. Unfortunately I do not know much about them besides that.  But as there are quite some production value in the video, I think they might be a bit bigger in Serbia.  If you know them, please let me know how I can get in touch with them.  Great band, great music ... great mystery ... ;)   https://youtu.be/Imdjc5...

I had the pleasure to talk with "Doll Klaw"'s Jessica a year ago, check out my talk with her here:   https://youtu.be/fb9xd1PIdYU   She is a quirky over the top performer usually, but here, in the Song "Angelica" she is singing about the loss of her dear friend, so it is much more somber and held back than her usual music & songs.  But I like this as well, a bitter sweet pop son...

Sorry, I have nothing substantial to add here, I just love this iconic song.  Die Form has been around (seemingly) forever and are still active, according to wikipedia.  Other then that, I highly recommend that you check out this great song:   https://youtu.be/-JYNFY3MT1k   https://open.spotify.com/track/5TTa0LZfWy4rTwOjvUp0E6?si=0c96927de74b4acb   and here it is in my pla...

​  @Joachim Witt  is a Legend! Period! He has been around for almost 50 years and still is going strong.  He progressed from his early NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle) days from Pop Rock to more Gothic and Darkwave layered outings.  This man is a ROCK!  With over 70 years he still is around to make great music!  Check out his work with  @PeterHeppnerVEVO  :  ...

Oh man, this song got seriously stuck in my head this morning.  It was running in a loop the whole bike ride to my gym.  Luckily for me it is a great song!  My biggest "issue" with "The Bionic Protector" is that I love almost all of his songs.  So it is really hard to just recommend one. Check out his whole portfolio if you like this song, you will not be dissapointed!   I...

Oh Yeah! THE BLACK CAPES do just unapologetic Gothic Rock in the vein of  @typeonegative  The Sisters of Mercy and that a like.  Check out my talk with Thanos:   https://youtu.be/rv0_6WMKrIA   which I caught in the Studio producing more great music.  As you can clearly tell, this music is absolutely up my alley and what I love, so I highly recommend that you check out...

Toronto based  @EYE STEAL  have a sound similar to  @IAMX  or  @Blue Stahli  thick, drawing you in, into a web of carefully woven melodies and harmonies ... this web is hard to escape, so I must warn you, their songs tend to get stuck in your head ... at least in mine they get stuck.  In German we call this an "Ohrwurm".  That is a mark of a great song and g...

Hey Guys,    today "Opium" what a great song! Yes, I cannot be objective here, but who can that really be?  And after all, it is my recommendation for you, so of cause it's "tainted".  I remember discovering this song, seeing the video for the first time, I loved it then, and I love it today!  This song is ageless, unfortunately it is the only one of  @Moonspell ...

The  @PetShopBoys Parlophone  have been around for over 40 years now, so I'm quite sure that you have heard of them by now.  This was / is one of their first big hits "It's A Sin" and I remember as it came out ... having a small friendly family feud with my brother about which ones favorite bands, mine was  @Depeche Mode  and his the Pet Shop Boys, is the better one ... qu...

Hey Guys,  this song was all over Germany as it came out 1998 as two German (musical)  "heavy weights" were involved in creating it.   @Joachim Witt  , Neue Deutsche Welle Star which moved more and more in the "Gothic" realm of the music.  Even a bit "Neue Deutsche Härte" like  @Rammstein Official  sometimes.  And  @Peter Heppner   @PeterHeppn...

This is a more unusual Shellshocked Radio Recommendation, as I would classify this genre as "Dance Floor" but as I'm far away from my usual comfort Zone here, you know, Gothic Rock, Industrial Metal or Darkwave, I do not really know what I'm talking about here.  But I'm here to recommend, and recommend I can this great song unabashedly for sure.  Check out this fun Gem here:   https...

Hey Guys,   this is a band from my hometown, so I'm a bit biased of course.  One of my past girlfriends were madly into them.  But this song from  @RosenstolzVEVO   @Rosenstolzvideo  "Ich geh auf Glas" (I walk on glas) is really good and worth your time.   The singer is a classical trained singer as far as I know, so her voice is truly brilliant and elevates...

Shellshocked Radio Recommendations recommends the Song "The Downfall" by the German Gothic Metal Band (Legend ...) Crematory.  As you will know by now, I'm not a huge fan of "growling" vocals, but have to admit that the Crematory style of growling is fine with me, as it is not the juvenile "I cannot sing so I scream" kind, which I hear so often in the song submissions for my radio show ( http...

Rabia Sorda, the side project from  Erk Aicrag, lead singer of the Mexican aggrotech band Hocico, this is much more up my alley as the music from his much more noisy main project.  Rabia Sorda, is much more accessible, more "Song" like than his aggrotech outings, at least in my ears ;)  Check out the pumping & pulsing "Out of Control"   https://youtu.be/L72owiQBivk   h...
