Jesu are not exactly Gothic but their music could definitely appeal to fans. This is nothing short of awesome:
|
I always class Jesu as Shoegaze because their Shoegaze stuff is my favourite of theirs.
|
i classify Jesu as Justin Broadrick and thus amazing :)
that Dark Sanctuary song was sehr gut! i am waiting for the industrial bug to flow into this :) |

Red Temple Spirits are sometimes tagged as Gothic Rock, their album Dancing To Restore is top drawer stuff.

both great track.....Dead World was perfect without going the obvious route (Skinny Puppy)
Play Dead walked that fine line of Goth/Death rock and post-punk....From The Promised Land is a great album and X-Mal Deutschland....although in many ways they rode on the wave of Siouxsie and the Banshees...still a great band *edit* it needed to happen |
that's funny you would mention The Cult....i went to a bar with some friends last night and someone played "Fire Woman" on jukebox....and i thought about this thread

Glad to see Tones on Tail mentioned. I sometimes enjoy them even more than Bauhaus.
I just remembered another goth band - Clan Of Xymox. This below is the title track from Medusa (1986) A European band (I think) from the mid 80s (maybe they still exist) who borrowed a lot from Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, New Order, Joy Division but wasn't as good. Did I say Joy Division? I know, I know, they weren't exactly goth rock, but they had the major influence on it. Without them, I'm not gonna say that goth rock wouldn't exist, but it would've been very different. So I think they deserve a mention. 'Decades' - what is more gothic romantic than lamenting over the passing of time? ...where have they been... And I know that Cure has been already mentioned, but I have to post this song. It sounds like a soundtrack to some Vincent Price movie. 'Three' from Seventeen Seconds, my favorite Cure album. |
dankrsta, Clan of Xymox was the band that got me into goth rock. I think their song "Jasmine and Rose" is somewhat better than "Medusa":
This is a pretty good goth rock song too: |
totally on the late train here but The Phantom Limbs were a local Deathrock/Goth/Synthpunk something rather on Alternative Tentacles from Oakland. They had some crazy ass live shows.. the lead singer Lotto Ball rolled around in animal blood and sang through one of those bdsm mouth guard thingermajiggers. They have a pretty good cover of The Screamers' "122 Hours of Fear" that's worth looking through many videos of The Shins preforming their song of the same name as the band's and maybe finding. Also, how are goths annoying? The way the media portrays them (IE the disheartening episode of 2 & 1/2 Men) certainly is but they don't get anything right ever. I was pretty into this kinda stuff for a while and there's def some lousy jerks in the scene but you get those in ANY scene.
