Our Favourite Goth Albums 

The Cure - Disintegration. I'm not even a Goth. Masterpiece.

If Type O negative isn't on your goth metal list...Kidding. But for real, they are the goth kings.

"Whatever it is the Hex Girls were doing" lol. I barely caught that. I had to rewind for that.

Sisters of mercy was my introduction to goth music and they are still my fave

Floodland is great, but, First Last and Always is also pretty stunning, especially Marian (version).

I'm now listening to London After Midnight at 2am and it's raining outside. This album definitely fits the dark rainy mood. Love it. Thank you for the brilliant video, and playlist! ♥

Oh my goth, you're so perfect.

If you haven’t already, listen to She Past Away

Love that you mentioned the chameleons! Highly underrated! Also London after midnight is a favorite 🖤

Bless your freaking soul for the playlist. 😭💙

I just discovered "Swamp Thing" because of this video. It might be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Thank you!

I've been into dark things since I was 12, but I've only recently gotten into the gothic subculture. Ik that music is a big part of the culture but no one seems to want to talk about it bec of elitists so it's nice to see goths actually talking about the music

The first Goth Rock album I ever listened to was when I was a teen was Disintegration by The Cure. Probably my favorite also, although, after checking out the playlist you two made, I really liked the songs from London After Midnight. But in the end, I do prefer Goth Metal and Darkwave :D

I will now show my age with a few personal classics, Bauhaus - In The Flat Field, Siouxsie - Juju, Sex Gang Children - Song & Legend, Virgin Prunes - If I did I die.

I NEED THE GOTHIC METAL ALBUMS VID SO MUCH In general my obsession- cause at this point it's an obsession- with Gothic rock/metal started with Sisters, at the same time i started singing and that could also have played a role into that but yeah SOM where very good and i think most people will find it a good start into Gothic Personal favorite Marian

It's awesome to see more fans of Fields of the Nephilim! I don't hear them talked about much, so glad to see them on your honorable mentions. Following your playlist!

Really enjoy these types of videos! Glad to see The Chameleons getting some appreciation. I dont see them on many lists but they're one of my top bands.

Found your channel like a day ago, and can I just say you're both so great. Binge watching old uploads and I feel like I'm hanging with friends I've known forever.

Speaking for myself, the very APEX of Goth Rock for me is The Nephilim by Fields of the Nephilim. Doesn't get any better.

Having the Chameleons on your list is like, oh yeah, these goths know the culture, 100%. I never had the aesthetic, I'm too simple, I like my t-shirts and jeans. But I've been listening to goth music for about 11 years now and I'm thankful for bands that don't dress the part because then I don't feel like an outsider in an outsider culture. Was wondering if you've ever heard of Theatre of Ice and if so, what's your opinion on this little known band? And if not, I think you would both like their song, "A Cool Dark Place to Die". It's super lo-fi, self recorded death rock made in haunted houses in the deserts of Nevada and Utah USA.

There's nothing more Goth than denying you are goth. Robert Smith, Siouxsie Sioux and Andrew Eldritch all find the goth label limiting.

Awesome list. I especially agree with The Cure's Disintegration. It's actually my favorite album from The Cure (and my all time favorite album). I first got into The Cure in 1989 when I first saw the video for Lovesong. At the time, I was 7 years old and just discovering more music outside my R&B and Hip Hop circles. I later bought the Disintegration in full once I got into High school and it was one of those albums that I played nonstop on my CD player. And it was The Cure that got me to explore other groups within the Goth/Post Punk scene. One of the greatest moments of my life was when I got to see The Cure live in Houston back in 2016. It 2as worth every penny.

Love the channel, def feel the "trapped in this room for a year" lol. You both always look awesome! 🖤

I'm really loving the content yall provide

Went straight here after the livestream just felt like spending more time with you guys! thanks again really appreciate what you do. And thanks for the shout out about my kidney transplant recovery. Nice to hear someone that’s not my family show support even strangers. Much love 🖤 also YES listened to floodland this afternoon and absolutely love it. This corrosion was my first foray into the goth subculture after seeing the worlds end and dressing like Gary king for a costume on Halloween but I felt comfortable in it. That was the beginning in 2013!

Great choices, you guys should check out Chelsea Wolfe's Hiss Spun and Abyss albums, saw her in concert ...fantastic and she is Goth personified in her look. Keep the videos coming, love them all !!!

I totally agree about The Chameleons. They were the best-kept secret of post-punk bands from the 80s as they weren't well-known in the US. I had to introduce them to other Goths at the time who went through that decade without ever hearing one song of theirs.

Love the list you guys are awesome. Was thinking why don't you guys do a. Video of new Gothic bands that are out there now

Love the list, I was nodding my head through out the video with your album picks. Looking forward to seeing what your goth metal & industrial lists look like.

Thank you, I've now got a couple of new albums to explore!

Thanks so much for this video! 🖤 I'll explore more about gothic music! I love your channel!!

I really really love Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division. I think Joy Division is one of my top 5 bands. Another great goth album is The Fourth Seal of Zeen by the Awakening. It’s a really great band. 😩 Come Out Of The Dark by 13 Candles is also a fav of mine. I’ll name drop one more of mine... hmmmm....and Death Trip by Alien Sex Fiend. 🖤🖤 I love your guys channel! Goth music is soooooooo fun!

I cant get over how much Connor looks like a goth Severus Snape

That is a pretty perfect list, I have to say! As an elder(ish, I'm 46) goth, I'm surprised to not see any MIssion on your list(although your honourable mentions list went too fast for me to see hahaha), but they always divide opinion. No early Cult either! All About Eve are a band you should check out, but they are more of a flowery goth band, but still amazing. Especially their first 2 albums. I only found your channel earlier this week, and I'm loving the videos!!

Oh yes! LOVE Swamp thing!!! That guitar is awesome!

Rosetta stone?

Please listen to "Bara no Seidou" by Malice Mizer. It's Japanese, but the gothic atmosphere is perfectly executed.

'Swamp Thing' IS class. Closer and Phantasmagoria as honourable mentions though.... Though, yes... I suppose if you want to get away from conventional. But god damn, Closer is an absolute masterpiece

I like your list. I was a fan of Cure in the 80's. I saw them in Paris at POPB the largest concert hall at the time (there were maybe 20 000 people inside). I think there are still good Gothic Band, even among the new ones. Recently I have discovered Drab Majesty and I like their songs, specially Cold Souls.

I've got the 12" single of Swamp Thing the B side is a cover of Bowie's John I'm only dancing.

I'm not Goth - but always loved Razed In Black, Sisters of Mercy, Type O, Drab Majesty, In Strict Confidence, Ashbury Heights, Imperative Reaction

Corpus Delicti*🦇* Is My #1 Goth Band*🦇*Of All Time🥀🖤🥀

I thought I'd watch this one again. When you talked about the Chameleon's Swamp Thing. Oh yeah! Mid 80's hell yes. I remember also at that time was the release of DM Black Celebration. Great list! I agree about the Cures Hits. Have a good day. Old man out.

Omg what a great list of songs!! And some I’ve never heard of before, thanks! You two rock! Sent sacrifice to my wife! She loved it!

I'm forever in your debt for introducing me to "Swamp Thing". How did I miss that one, smh...

Super happy to see this video because I wanna find more goth music than what I already know but nobody from my surroundings is goth :/ I'm also really bad at discovering music by myself, rarely can find something I REALLY enjoy, so this video is super helpful and I will 100% listen to your Spotify playlist! Love from Poland UwU

Good video. I'll definitely look into your spotify playlist always like to try new music ain't heard much goth music besides gothminister,The cure and project pitchfork

I’m more of a Gothic Metal fan than straight Goth music (Although I AM a huge London After Midnight fan), so I’d live you to do a ‘Favourite Gothic Metal Bands’ video. Also, I love you guys. So glad to see your channel blowing up!

Im so glad you are doing more videos. You are both so sweet and straight forward its refreshing. Love the playlist too! Every time you make another video theres another 1000 subs ooh I hope you hit 20k by the live stream. I will cross my fingers and toes, even if I look funny when I walk hehe

Definitely interested in seeing lynn’s, metal playlist :). Great vid as always.

Nico is the Gothmother! Her lp trilogy The Marble Index (1968), Desertshore (1970) and The End (1974) set the foundations in terms of sound, lyrics and atmosphere, being the primordial seeds of Goth. Together with Velvet Underground luminary John Cale as her producer and arranger, they inspired and influenced several of Goths most important acts. Nico started dressing entirely in black, dyed her hair henna and used dark eyeliner in the late 60s, predating the Goth look and "heroin" chic by years. - Bauhaus went on tour with Nico in 1981 and covered John Cale's Rosegarden Funeral Of Sores on their In The Flat Field lp in 1980. - Siouxsie covered the Velvets Venus In Furs and also Cale's song Gun on her Through The Looking Glass lp in 1987. Cale produced her 1995 album The Rapture and toured with The Creatures in 1998. - Joy Division covered the Velvets Sister Ray, in an interview Peter Hook named Cale as one of his music gods - The Sisters Of Mercy covered Sister Ray by The Velvet Underground - Christian Death covered Venus In Furs in 1993 Between 2008 and 2012 Cale did some gigs with various guest musicians in honour of Nico, labelled A Life Along The Borderline: A Tribute To Nico. Among the musicians were Peter Murphy, Lisa Gerrard, Soap&Skin, Mark Lanegan and several others.

Always looking for new things to listen to. Thanks for some new ideas. 🦇🖤🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great album picks 😎 would love to see more of these vids 🖤🤘🏻

Thank you for mentioning The Chamäleons and Killing Joke.They are two of my favourite Bands.

loven the playlist and love the makeup guys !

It's really weird. A couple of weeks ago I rediscovered my love for Goth music. Bauhaus came up and I kept listening to them and The Cure and many other Post-Punk bands. I was a Goth before there was the label and then I wasn't because I really enjoyed more kinds of music. The gatekeepers ... Well, ... Great Video ... Thanks for Sharing. I'll check out the 'newer' bands I'm not familiar with.

Excellent list I even discovered a couple bands I didn't know about thank you I'm so glad I discovered your Channel

Just what I was looking for. Thanks you two.

Siouxsie and the Banshees ....Juju????I know they're your faves but this is a timeless goth classic.

I’d like to see some darkwave recommendations, if you guys have any. It’s my favorite of the goth genres, and I’m down for new stuff I may have missed.

Thanks for the playlist, there’s a few on there I haven’t heard before. I think the most goth Cure track is possibly Charlotte Sometimes. Check out N.A.S.A Serophia. I’d also recommend The Eden House - Smoke and Mirrors album and Timeflows E.P. NFD are vey FotN too.

Discovered goth music 2 days ago because RU-vid recommended one of your videos. You mentioned some bands and I was wondering what it sounded like and I'm very interested in this music now, so I was just waiting for you to upload a music recommendation video.

industrial & gothic metal are my favs so id love to see a video on that!

Selected scenes is such a great album 👏 your list is perfect. Instant sub I like your down to earth demeanour and your style 😃

Its awesome that you like some of the same bands as Ville Valo :)

Oh that intro was great 😂 I feel like I've been trapped in my room for about a year as well 😂

I would love to see your favourite Industrial and metal albums!

I don't know if this band is goth but I HIGHLY recommend the album Motherblood by grave pleasures. SO GOOD!!! Also this video was amazing. Thanks for the recommendations

Oh, I remember Nighttime when it released. That and the first album are pure gold! When it comes to chamelons, I was stupid for Swamp thing! I bought the 12" single. Something I feel that goes with that on my playlist is XTC's Dear God. As an Atheist, I LOVE that song. I never tire of it. Of course I still love The Cure and Siouxsie and so forth. I listen to Budgie and Lol's podcast, Curious Creatures. They talk about so much on that show. The episodes are only 30 minutes a piece but they are so interesting!! And I'm 57 btw. Have a great day. I really enjoyed this episode. Much love from an old Rivithead/Goth leaning old man.🖤🦇😎💪🥾🛠️⚙️⚒️

Hey you guys are one of my fave channels keep going keep being awesome (:

Im interested in finding out what non goth music/artists you guys like.I’m new here and I just wanted to say you two are awesome I’m one of the many that saw your reaction to Padilla’s interview lol

Check out (if you don’t know of them) Faith & The Muse, the album Elyria.. this band flew under a lot of peoples radars but honestly it’s one of the best Goth albums I’ve ever listened too.. I think the mix of male and female singing makes it stand out from the crowd more, and the music is epic at times.

OMG 😱The only band I didn't know was The Chameleons and I was really surprised. Really good! Thanks 🤩👍

I love your list. It’s funny but I have heard the Chameleons and I love Swamp Thing. It’s so atmospherical! I would recommend to you the Bolshoi “Away”. The video is coo coo but the song is amazing. I also love switchblade symphony. Dissolve. The entire album. You guys have great taste. I really thought it would be more goth death metal because of the Munro connection but I am gloomingly surprised that it’s not. Best spooky wishes! 🧛‍♀️

Both of your hair is so gorgeous omgomgomg🖤

The cure, London after Midnight, the sisters of mercy, bauhaus and other like the birthday massacre have always been favorite groups of mine through my baby goth years: since the 1980’s. but i have to add i am team Rozz Williams from Christian Death. His stylized voice has been a favorite of mine.

‘The noise of a wolf howling on a stormy winter night’ 😂 That does sound pleasant though

Back in the day loads of Goths loved the Chameleons

I KNEW I RECOGNISED LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT IN THE THUMBNAIL!

OMG! I've been listening to Killing Joke since the first album! Yes, I'm old! 👴56. Nighttime is the best one. Good choice!!!

Yasss! Lullaby! I love that so much! And Sisters yasssss! I miss dancing to them! London After Midnight I love them! Love Like Blood is another of my favourites!

Tysm for this playlist!! I’m super new to goth music so this is an absolute blessing

Just discovered you guys via this video and am now a subscriber! Great playlist and I discovered some new artists to check out. I agree with previous comments about Type O Negative...but glad to hear you like them - looking forward to a future goth metal playlist please and if I can make a cheeky request can you put 'creepy green light' on it 💚

i'd love to get more music recs from you guys! maybe a favorite goth artists list?

I love the Greatest Hits of The Cure! It’s my first vinyl record!

uhm ur playlist is now in my library. i love yall

What about. - Concrete Blond Blood letting

This is a good list!!! :D

Killing joke is also one of the smartest bands and their recent stuff sounds just as good.

*PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING BY BAUHAUS* I love you guys also wow I actually know like almost all of these except two. I'm proud of myself

You guys are the best! Great music!

Twin tribes! Your welcome

I am not really a goth per se, just some dude living his best life out here and finding new and exciting channels. Anyhow, I am more into dungeon synth and funeral synth than goth but something I would like to have you try is a Japanese underground idol group called NECRONOMIDOL. Their image and style is based in horror, the occult and Lovecraft. Try a few of their songs, I believe their whole catalog is available here on RU-vid. I saw that you had pent some time in Japan so I thought you might like the suggestion. If you need more information or have questions just let me know.

I never ever suggest albums, and it's not really a gothic band but Smashing pumpkins' Adore is my all time favorite. It is an album where I love each song but also the whole, it is obviously meant to be listened to like 1, 2, 3, 4, each track after another, because each song is like a sentence in a story. It has all the emotions you can imagine, confusion, devastation, saddness, hopelessness. For Martha and Blank page are favorites from the more depressive tracks, but also Pug is superbly aggressive and passionate.

*It depends on my mood I'll stick to a theme like...* *80s Goth / Synthpop / Post Punk I know some aren't Goth* _Bauhaus, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Ministry, Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, The Smiths..._ *90s Industrial Goth / Metal* _Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Peter Murphy, Seraphim Shock, Switchblade Symphony, Type O Negative_ *90s through Early 2000s and Beyond* _Deathstars, The Kovenant, Symphonic Metal, Symphonic Black Metal, Symphwave/Darkwave ect..._ _...Too many bands to list!!!_

Id love to know your opinions or reactions to Molchat Doma, lebanon Hanover, She past Away, twin Tribes.

I've been curious to check out the "official" goth music I've been hearing about. I got into the "alternative electronic" goulash of genres a year or so back, when I discovered Communion After Dark. However, that is an entirely different scene, so I'll definitely refer to your list of music to get some new music, and make an entirely new playlist in my Library. *Side Note:* Two songs. I was wondering where these fall between the dark wave/alternative electronic genres, and this? _"My Religion Is Dark"_ by Massive Ego _"Alpha Draconis"_ by Angles of Liberty

I used to hate the Cure. I was into the hardcore Industrial and EBM. Now I'm older and just love everything the Cure has done to date. Can't wait till the next three albums!!

Connor really knows how to make me laugh with the intro 🤣

Please make a goth metal video!
