Shellshocked Radio Music Recommendations

Hey Guys,   this one is short and to the point as I was unable to find much about the artist https://www.instagram.com/hailofficialuk/ besides that she is from the UK.  The song "A Stain in Time" is just a very well sung and performed rock ballad, worthy of your "checking it out":   https://youtu.be/zPtcyc9c9f4   https://open.spotify.com/track/1CkpxMoo6pCgVXOyeZnw0C?si=3b7b5ef1...

Well, what can I say about one of the greatest Pop Bands?  @Depeche Mode  is amazing in so many regards.  They are still making (relevant) music to this day, a feat not replicated very often.  This song "Little 15" is taking me, and most likely you, if you are a bit older, along memory lane.  And yes ... I was young, in love and in my formative years ... and still, I think...

Hell Yeah!    Back to recommending "real" #gothic content on my Goth centered channel!  @Ludovico Technique  tick all the boxes for a great goth rock / industrial rock band.  Great vocals, music and VISUALS! I love it! One of the very first "big" bands following me on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/MEGALMODAS ) which is pretty cool in my book as I'm a virtual "nobody".&nbsp...

This is of course a cover of the great Hüsker Dü, as I know now.  But honestly, as I heard the song for the first time in the  @Therapy?  String Version, I thought he was singing about "Dying" which is not that far off considering the subject matter.  The song is a hauntingly beautiful quiet string laden "Anti" Love Song of sorts.  I really like it, but at the same time it...

You did not expect to see the  @Violent Femmes  here, right? ;)  But remember, I have a soft spot for good folksy acoustic music, just check my recommendation of  @The Dead South  .  So this song "Blister in the Sun" is a really nice, quirky, weird & well crafted Pop Folk Song.  Snarky lyrics & acoustic instruments, a very well done mix.  Not Gothic,...

Yeah! Finally a new Genre as  @Shireen  invented the genre Witchpop to classify their musical style.  Something between folk, acoustic, electronic & pop.  Well, it is great!  Besides the great voice of the lead singer, I implore you to check out their gorgeous video!  Witches know how to dress for sure!  It is "enchanting" and "spellbinding" ;)   Check i...

Hey Guys,   once again a little oddity in my portfolio. This is of course no  Darkwave, Gothic or Industrial, but I love this song nevertheless.  Maybe I was young and impressionable / formative as this came out, but it really touched and spoke to me.  I like the simplicity and the attention of the voice work. It is the closest I ever came to love an R'n B or Soul Song, but I f...

This is one of these songs which is really hard to describe. Somewhere in between doom, gloom, post rock, gothic rock, synth soundscapes ... compared often to  @CHELSEA WOLFE  but being very much its own thing.  This song lives from its haunting atmosphere, which is very hard to describe, so please just take my word for it and check it out!  It is a beautiful, hauntingly good s...

Today I recommend the cool Horror Punk Band in Disguise:  @CALABRESE    Okay, they title themselves as "Horror Rock", but as I've found out through my talks with Left Hand Black (from GOTHenburg ;) as well as with the grapic designer Anthony, they are a big number in the Horror Punk Scene.  And that rightfully so, as they are really cool dudes, check out my Talk with Davey Cala...

​  @MaxRaabeVEVO  and his Palast Orchester are a very unique brand of music.  Mr. Raabe developed a great love for the music of the 1920's & 30's and started his own spin on it, revisiting the singing and performance styles of the time and spicing it up with ironic / funny lyrics not unequal to his idols of the Comedian Harmonists.   This is no Darkwave or Gothic Rock of co...

Hey Guys,  I do not know anything about this artists, besides that I know what "Urfaust" originally meant as I life close to one of the places where Goethe lived and worked.  Besides that, it is also hard to pinpoint what this music really is. It is dark and gloomy / doomy, with a strange vocal style, BUT I really like it, so might you, and that's why I highly recommend to check out this...

​  @MenWithoutHatsVEVO  ... Yes that is cheesy 80's synth pop, but I still have a soft spot for it.  And if you never have heard this quirky song, give it a spin, it might make you smile inside and outside ;)  I even have a, very slight, connection to the band. From 2005 to 2007 I was living in Montreal, Quebec / Canada and had a band there.  We were rehearsing in the same...

Hell Yeah!  @FleischKrieg  the one and only NDH Metal Band from LA, my friends in the quest of dominating the world with great heavy music!  As you can clearly hear and see ... I'm absolutely biased here. You can say that I'm "To-biased" ;)  These are my buddies and I really like them, BUT there Song DOROS is really good and you should definitely check them out.  They kill...

​ Nina Hagen  is an icon here in Germany / in the German speaking realm.  She started her career in the east German / Russian Zone behind the iron curtain and then moved to West Germany / the capitalist Germany.   She labels herself the mother of punk and has a really great range music and vocal wise.  So here she is now singing together with  @OOMPH!   an (Germa...

This is "DYS RichMAN's" Song "All 2 Gether". He calls it Beat Rock.  It has some Industrial & Electronic roots, which I like very much of course, so it fits perfectly in my usual portfolio.  What really makes it "recommendation" and "shout out" worthy though, is its very positive message, which I can get behind absolutely.  So check out this "Beat Rock" Song and let me know if y...

Hell Yeah! You know what time it is?  Time for shameless self promotion. King Sinister is the Metal Step / Industrial Rock / Metal side project I have with the great Simplefixty from Norway.  This is our take on NDH and all the nice metal goodness.  Here in this song, I try a different vocal style, to emancipate me a bit from the Forefathers of German NDH Rock and Metal like  @...

Hell Yeah!  This band is a lot of fun.  I love their style overall, heavy guitars, stomping rhythms and soooooooooooooo bad German :D : D :D   On a serious note, as they are "non-germans" they can get away with some imagery which might get you in jail in Germany or at least a fine you would have to pay.  As any mentioning or even perceived glorification of the third Reich is fo...

Hell Yeah! Finally  @DIE KRUPPS official  they have been around "forever". Starting in the 80's with electronic and synth music, covering  @Metallica  brought them their first fame.   Later on they incorporated guitars in their songs and became more like Ministry.   I do not like all their songs, "to the Hilt" for example, but most of their songs are really great and...

Oh Yeah! Back to the 80's back to  @TearsForFearsVEVO   @Tears For Fears   a band which ruled back then.  Lots of hits under their belt, but, deservedly so, at least in my humble opinion of course. Great bombastic pop rock meets interesting and well thought of lyrics and themes.  The band has quite a few things going for itself, so I might recommend a few more of...

I have to admit this band, HEALTH, flew under my radar for quite some time, but I finally found them and happily share my find with you, if you have not heard of them before, like me just recently.  They do  Industrial / Noise Rock and are from Los Angeles where my friends  @FleischKrieg  and  @Edge Of Paradise  are from as well, so once again like Swedens "GOTHenburg...

A friend of mine introduced me to  @Morcheeba  and their music in the 1990's and I was intrigued right away.  This music mix I had never heard before.  Yes there has been the massive success of  @Portishead SOS  but this was "just" trip hop ...  Morcheeba did add some more "melancholy" and saccharine bitter-sweetness into the mix, though it downtempo and folksy i...

Hey Guys,   unfortunately this band "Pakt" (the German word for "Pact") already disbanded in 2016. Founded by two ex-members of  @And One  they were apparently not successful (enough) to stay together for long.  Sehr Schade ...   And One started as a German  @Depeche Mode  clone but found their own footing later on.  So you know what you are in for by "Pakt"...

This is playful Alternative Rock from Cardiff  @KYSHERA  .   Fun but somber, with no blinders or boundaries in sight.   Man, I love that song!    The play with the singers voice, the intricate song structure, which is never overbearing ... this is a well crafted (alternative) Rock Song.  This band needs more (eyes and) ears.  Check out their great song "Coma...

Recently I had the pleasure to get to know  @Dr. Mark Benecke's Official Youtube Channel  who is a really cool dude who is a forensic expert, check my (German) talk with him here:   https://youtu.be/GNDY0rhf2b0   He also appears in a lot of videos and one I liked particularly well, from "HELL-O-MATIC" the Song "Maggots" (in German Dr. Mark Benecke is sometimes called "Lord of t...
