Alien Sex Fiend are an iconic band of both the Deathrock and Batcave scene with a dedicated following. Thus, we felt it was important for us to open a discussion about this band. This week we discuss their emergence from the the Batcave and the release of their first four albums as well as their relevance to Goth and Deathrock subculture. We hope you enjoy this episode (as it may a controversial one) and all of our other content. As always, stay spooky!
Well, the moment you all have been waiting for has arrived… our next episode is finally out! On a more serious note, we do apologize for the delay. We have had a very busy month and have been working on a way to increase our video content in addition to the our regular podcast. There is no reason to worry though, as we are back on track with a game plan that we trust will allow us to create more consistent content and increase your entertainment. Without any further ado, we present this week’s episode in which we discuss none other than Nine Inch Nails. Are we aware that Nine Inch Nails are not exactly a goth band? Certainly! However, we believe it goes without saying that their music has played a large role in the subculture and many goths do listen to Nine Inch Nails. Thus, we begin our exploration of their career with their first three studio albums, (along with what we feel is an essential EP to discuss) Pretty Hate Machine, Broken, Downward Spiral, and The Fragile. We hope you enjoy this episode along with all of our content that is to come. As always, stay spooky!
This week we take a look at a more obscure band, And Also the Trees. Although they do have a following, they are certainly not a band that’s frequently discussed. Consequently, we felt it would be interesting to discuss their career, especially considering their ties to The Cure (something we discuss on the episode). In this episode, we review their first four albums, And Also the Trees, Virus Meadow, The Millpond Years, Farewell to the Shade. We hope you enjoy this episode and, as always, stay spooky.
This week’s episode takes a look at 3 classic Dracula Adaptations, beginning with Dracula (1931), The Horror of Dracula, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Each film has its own individual style from the suave delivery of Bela Lugosi to the Menacing and campy performance by Christopher Lee or the passionate depiction by Gary Oldman. We discuss what makes each of these films unique and pivotal to the history of Dracula in the World of film.
I know, I know, I know….this is supposed to be GothCast right? Not Industrial-Cast??? You are correct, but many goths have an appreciation for Ministry and their brand of dark music. Not to mention their songs that are regularly played in most goth clubs to this day. So sit back and listen to Dr.Sanders and Robbie Gore discuss a band that had a huge shift in sound early on in their career. This episode covers the albums With Sympathy, Everyday Is Halloween (Single), Twitch, The Land Of Rape And Honey, and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing to Taste.
Happy World Goth Day! We’re celebrating today with the usual dark and spooky activities that comprise our existence but we also thought we’d post a video and share some love of one of our favorite albums. Behold!
With the unfortunate end of Joy Division, the remaining members would go on to form a band that would achieve critical and commercial success. The formation of New Order and their implementation of keyboards into their new sound helped set a trend for pop music throughout the eighties. Join Dr.Sanders and Robbie Gore as they take a look at a band unafraid to innovate unexplored territory in the wake of Ian Curtis’ tragic death. In this episode we discuss their first four albums, beginning with Movement and ending with Brotherhood.
This time on GothCast we’re taking on the fan-requested Cocteau Twins. While beginning with a sound more aligned with post-punk, they quickly established themselves as talented musicians who preferred to experiment with more ethereal sounds.This is definitely one of the more heated arguments between the hosts as they each argue for their favorite releases.
This week on GothCast we take a look at three very interesting films that have dark atmospheres and film noir influences. These movies have surprisingly a lot in common, but their differences make each of them a unique experience. So join us as we tell you what we thought of the movies Dark City, The City of Lost Children, and Brazil.
Also I’m including the incorrect date posted on the Kommunity FK website (as of 3/29/2016) so you can see what we were referencing during the “Recent Interesting Goth Stuff” portion of the podcast.
This is unfortunately our final episode on Dr.Sanders’ favorite band, Type O Negative. We’re covering every album from World Coming to Dead Again and a few other releases from them. Type O Negative’s output during this time drew upon everything from family relationships, religion, and even a song written about Steele’s Playgirl spread. It was quite an interesting time and we had a lot of fun discussing it. The most tragic part of the entire situation is that there are no more albums for us to talk about.
