Incus – at Ceremony – Review

May 1, 1997

With three drummers, Incus is totally about rhythm. The crowd begins moving. Banging on the sculpture, Neubauten clangs chase each other though the club.

Curtain Society – Life is Long, Still – Review

May 1, 1997

They aren’t trying to be Goth, they’re just making emotionally strong music that sounds like old Cure, and is just a new sprout on the tree of Rock and Pop.

Biofeedback – Incision – Review

April 1, 1997

Part Leather Strip, part Spahn Ranch, and part Ministry (albeit a small part). Their layers of samples and sequences are interesting.

Black Tape for a Blue Girl – Remnants of a Deeper Purity – Review

December 1, 1996

Even with Lucian Casselman’s soaring soprano voice, Remnants of a Deeper Purity is hardly to be considered “Ethereal Goth.” The music is far too grounded.

Signs Ov Chaos – Frankenscience – Review

December 1, 1996

They’re experimental ambient all the way, with a melancholy tinge to the music. Part Einstürzende Neubauten, part mild Lords Of Acid, part Spirit Feel.

Lycia – Cold – Review

December 1, 1996

Empty wastelands. Barren cities. Full moons on February midnights. The songs are all drawn out, weighed down with processional drums and full strings.

One Of Us – Sky Clad – Interview

December 1, 1996

An interview with John Eye, Christian Gilbert, Keith Martinelli, Steve Pavao, Dave McFarland, and Alex Milne

Saintchimaera – Tales of Juni – Review

November 1, 1996

Using an upright bass, which adds extra low end to the mix, lumbering along with the drums, grounding the lead instruments, as Daniel Liszt moans and chants.

Children of Caine – Vol 1 #1 – Review

November 1, 1996

Children of Caine covers doom metal, Goth, darkwave, and whatever else you can douse yourself in white facepaint and feel miserable to.

Convergence Two – at Man Ray – Review

September 1, 1996

One of Us played first, magnificent as ever, John stripped down to a thong, huge rhythms… They always sound great.
