Shellshocked Radio Music Recommendations

Well, that is an old and "classic" song, I recommend you today. Released in 1983 it deals with earth warming and climate disasters.  Yes, nothing new under the sun, I know, since the club of Rome we know what is coming ... but here it is packed into a nice poppy package.  Also, as I state in the video, I cannot be absolutely objective here, but you know that anyway, as I grew up with thi...

Today a little departure of my usual Gothic, Darkwave & Metal doomy, gloomy fare.  Lets venture into a Sci-Fi inspired realm, as the band "S. P. O. C. K" is clearly inspired by Star Trek.   The song is a dire warning to never trust a Klingon ... as they chop of your arm whenever you reach them a helping hand ;)  So be warned here:   https://youtu.be/5OL1kk-vEOo   https...

Dear congregation,   today I recommend you a band, which seemingly has been around forever.  They fit perfectly in my forte or portfolio. I would describe them as "Dark Pop", but you can find your own definition of course. I really like that they are the "full package", meaning that they also have a distinct look and aura to their sound and music.  The Song "Blue Room" is just one e...

Hell Yeah!  This is Doomy, Gloomy  @typeonegative  inspired (Hard)Rock goodness. It plows over you like a steamroller and takes no prisoners.  Hell Yeah, I love this song. Doomy fuzzy guitars, or is it the bass, like with Type'o Negative? I don't know and do not really care as this is just wholesome doom gloom goodness.  I apologize for swooning all over this song, but hey...

As mentioned in the video, the German Word "Selig" can mean a lot of things, depending on the context but it best translates to: "blissful" or "blessed".   Helium Vola is billed as "Medieval electronic music" quite a paradox, but if you listen to it, you surely get it.  The composer is the other half of the Darkwave duo  @Deine Lakaien  , which are quite well known in Germany /...

Well,  @Laibach  is just unapologetic fun for me. Militaristic, a bit of inspiration for  @RammsteinOfficiaI  , an artist collective which easily transgresses between militaristic march music, industrial,  pop music and movie soundtracks / soundscapes.  They are just great, artistic wise.  Music wise not many songs I like, but this cover I can wholeheartedly reco...

As you surely know by now, I have a soft spot for Russian Folk Metal, see my Recommendations for  @Alkonost  & Teren.  The Band Grai also fits in there nicely.   Heavenly female voices, folk instruments and heavy guitars ... I just love this combination!  So please give it a spin here:   https://youtu.be/yicTUvDVTHA   https://open.spotify.com/track/6wbpF5dQpI...

Well, today a "classic", clearly showing how old I am.  This song came out as I was young and I loved it back then and still love it today.  I do not think that I was too much in my formative phase to give you some untainted advice here, but of course, I might ... ;)  But then again, as these are my recommendations, they are all and always a bit tainted.  This is a great song:...

I really like the Cover of  @Disturbed  's rendition of the  @SimonGarfunkelVEVO  classic "The Sound of Silence".  The Singer of Disturbed, David Draiman, chooses his Rock Voice wisely in here and slowly builds up to the Crescendo of the song.  I guess at their / his status he has nothing more to prove and everyone knows that he can sing with a strong rock voice.&nbsp...

Hell Yeah!  This is my kind of stuff!  After the last few recommendations being a bit "off topic", in the sense that they do not really fit into my (usual) more Gothic Rock, Darkwave and Industrial Metal centered channel and Spotify playlist, this one fits like a HAMMER on the head.   Aggressive, punchy, heavy guitar sounds, this is a love child of Ministry,  @Nine Inch Nails&n...

Yeah,  @Camouflage2004  again, after I already recommended their great "Great Commandment" song, now the second one in my list of recommendations.  As with "Great Commandment", this is just a very well done 80's Synth Pop Song.  I'm of course absolutely (To)biased ;) as I grew up with this great song and was in my formative years as I heard it.  But still I believe it is a...

Hey Guys,   today another more unusual song for my usual Gothic Rock, Darkwave and Industrial Metal recommendations.   @Monotronic Band  made a great "Ohrwurm" (earworm ...) song here, which gets stuck in your head, in a positive way. It is a strange mix of a positive vibe, and still some sad undertones, at least, this is what I hear here. I really like the song, hence my recommenda...

​  @October Changes  are once again one of these rare finds of Diamonds in the rough ... criminally underrated they do their own style of Melodic Metal, Symphonic Metal and Electronicore. And they do that GREAT. I love this song, angelic female voice, great music, dreamy & sad lyrics. What else is there to ask for?  https://youtu.be/vl_zXBkiwoY  https://open.spotify.com/tra...

This is the joy of being a radio DJ for two different Radio Stations & Shows. On Radio Dark Tunnel ( https://radio-dark-tunnel.net/ )  I have the "Shellshocked Radio - Discovery" Show where I play mostly new & emerging (underground) artists along the genres of Darkwave, Gothic Rock, Industrial Metal and Neue Deutsche Härte.   On my other Show on https://ndhradio.online/ aptly tit...

Here I have to admit I'm swooning all over it and have nothing substantial to add to this masterpiece.  I just LOVE this song, one of the best pop songs ever made.  I will love it until I die, sorry for this very unprofessional babbling without much content. Here is clearly just a fan boy rambling on.   Here the very gorgeous original video:   https://youtu.be/djV11Xbc914 &nbsp...

A very Eye Pleasing Band today!   @Weird Wolves  look good from a female and male perspective, yummy oh yeah! :)  Their music is self described as "a Hybrid of Electronic & Rock Music, refined with Postpunk influences".  I could have not said it better ;)   They apparently started as an acoustic duo and moved later to the more electronic site. I think you still can hea...

What a song ...  H.i. M. does not re-invent the wheel here, but what they do they do really well.  They make simple songs sound epic, and I don't mean "simple" as disrespectful.  Simple is good, complicated is for "show offs" ... ;) if you know what you can do, you do not have to put a 5 minute solo in each song you play, real masters know when it is appropriate to shine and then it...

If you want some alternatives to  @Rammstein Official  or  @EISBRECHER official  Stoneman is your cup of tea.  Hailing from the wholesome Switzerland they deliver their own brand of NDH - Neue Deutsche Härte.  I'm usually no fan of growling vocals, but here, in the song "Liebe Liebe", they  explore this technique in the verses with good effect.  So, when it...

Hey Guys,   today one of the little gems (at least in my ears) I'm always happy to find and to unearth and bring to you.  You remember how cool it has been when you found a song none of your friends have heard before?  And you were the one who brought it to their attention?  Because YOU were on the "pulse of the time" as we say in German :) Great feeling, isn't it?  Well,...

Sorry, this is just an off the cuff video ... just me rambling and crying. I feel helpless, useless ... pathetic.  I have nothing to offer to help here. Please follow and share the music of  @ZXSPunk Production  and  @Teren Band  if you like it.  This is the only support I can think of right now. No sane person wants war for any reason ...  Here you can find them...

Yeah, finally I could do my little "Finish" joke :) ... but  @Sara  is not a joke band for sure. It is serious Alternative Rock, a bit dark tainted, but you know, this is what I like anyway ... and the Singer!  The Singer has a great voice and transports his / the songs emotions very well. So I recommend you check out this little gem here:   https://youtu.be/5L91pa2XaP0  ...

Well, lets not beat around the bush, I'm swooning all over this song.  This is a piece of art, period.  So I'm absolutely biased recommending this 80's Synth Pop Masterpiece, but hey, I recommend you that I love, and this is one of these songs I love ... maybe I was young and in my formative years as this came out, but honestly, this holds still up today, the craftsmanship, the message,...

Hey Guys,   this is clearly one of these times, when you think that you loved the original, but if you revisit it ... you get reminded that it did not age that well after all.  So it is with the Song "Cambodia" in the original from  @Kim Wilde  , not a bad pop song for its time, but the cover version from  @ApoptygmaBerzerkBand  adds much more (needed ...) punch and d...

As I do not know anything about the people behind this Gaming Music Industrial Metal Track, I will keep it short.  It's great!  Listen to it here:   https://youtu.be/vBAKUTF2jEk   https://open.spotify.com/track/223r0ITc4En7eKUr1rgeLJ?si=667d44caf01b45d1   and, of course, here it is in my playlist:   https://playlist.shellshockedradio.com/link/griyke   If you rath...
