Imagine a friend asked you for a playlist of your 5 favourite tracks to introduce them to industrial/darkwave/goth/ebm/etc. Which ones would you choose? They don’t have to be genre-defining or from foundational bands, just ones you enjoy the most.
These would be mine:
Skinny Puppy - Assimilate
Fields of the Nephilim - The Watchman
Wumpscut - Totmacher
Faith and the Muse - Annwyn, Beneath the Waves
Youth Code - For I am Cursed
What are yours?
-
Drab Majesty - 39 by Design
-
The Cure - The Funeral Party
-
Boy Harsher - Electric
-
cEvin Key - Anger is an Acid
-
Front Line Assembly - Echogenetic
-
- Assimilate again - such a great tune
- VNV Nation - Further
- Spike Hellis - Crisis
- X Mal Deutschland - Polarlicht
- Sister of Mercy - Some Kind of Stranger
Ooh I haven’t heard of Spike Hellis. I’m going to check that out 🙏🏻
I saw then a couple of months ago supporting Adult. They were fucking awesome live, Adult on the other hand…
I picked some (relatively) newer stuff:
- She Past Away - Sanri
- Pararox Obscur - Dark Fortress
- Noktva - In Deep
- Twin Tribes - The River
- Orphx - Pain is a Teacher
Bauhaus - Dark Entries
The Cure - A Forrest
Skinny Puppy - Tin Omen
Ministry - So What
KMFDM - Anarchy
Night Sins - the lowest place you’ll go
The Cure’s hanging garden is definitely up there as well. LOL, it’s hard to stop at just five with it being such a diverse range of styles and artists.
