    Default Got a gift card spending it on music.. help me please

    I like Dark, gothic, rock.. I have all the Marilyn Manson, I have all the NIN, and I have some obscure shit... I have $100 gift card to Barnes and Noble, I've already picked out two CD's that I need to replace, but I'd like to get something that has a nice hard rugged edge to it... something different but good... ideas???

    Thanks!

    One of the best Cds I have is the soundtrack to "Valentine"--I haven't seen the movie since I'm not as much into horror flicks, but almost every single song kicks ass, and would fit the bill!

    One of them, "Filthy Mind" by Amanda Ghost, is going to get its own thread shortly.

    If you don't have the Queen of the Damned soundtrack, you should get it--but it's been out a wjile and is possibly a bit slower for the most part than what you usually go for. But for dark, sexy, hard-edged music, it's hard to beat.

    Between myself and my husband, we literally have (and this is no exaggeration) over 200 CD's... I have all the Type O, and the usual rock, alternative selections, but I have been craving something completely different, something that has a good edge to it.



    Blade- Lacuna Coil is already on my list, after you suggested them a year or so ago, I have been hooked ever since... But I will check out the others you suggested.

    At risk of repeating myself, if you don't have Queen of the Damned soundtrack--you should at least give it a listen online.

    It is a giant collaboration of the following: Deftones, Korn, Disturbed, Static-X, and a bunch of other similar types. I watched the behind the scenes bit on the movie DVD and was quite impressed with what the various musicians were saying about working together on it.

    If you already have it, those damned worthless moderators should just delete this post, lol.

    Dol Ammad is worth listening to just because of the odd sound, its a chior of 12 with some decent music...

    Hell if you just want stuff off the wall and very dark, get some King Diamond.

    I personally love his Abigail album, and he's one of those that the whole Cd tells a story. So you have to listen from start to finish.

    BTW, the Candle is a good song to do a hot wax show to, lol...

    I'm in love with a band called nearLY (that's how it's spelled). The new album Reminder is a mix of gorgous girl vocals and creepy instrumentals. Give it a listen on iTunes. It's nice goth music.

    Get DIMMU BORGIR!!!!!! (my fave band) Best black metal band also with Immortal!!
    Dimmu's best album has to be (for me) Mourning Palace or Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia!

    Another great band is Bathory or Nightwish (even though Tarja's left)..

    I'll go oldsk00l....let's see. I'm one of those rare folks nowadays who doesn't think "goth" means "really awful metal with spooky keyboards".

    Sisters Of Mercy- Some Girls Wander By Mistake (A compilation of all the original now impossible to find 12'' singles and EP's-I consider this essential. My 10 year old has it.)

    The Mission UK-God's Own Medicine (Wayne Hussey, original Sisters guitar player, forms his own band, using money his Mormon parents fronted him, hence the band name, which due to my upbringing makes me adore him immediately. Goth as fuck, but very hippie-ish as well. And not in a bad way.)

    Christian Death-Catastrophe Ballet (This is before they split into two seperate bands with the two singers fronting a different version apiece. All hail Rozz, fuck that Valor guy. Also check out "Only Theatre Of Pain", "Ashes", and "Atrocities". Though admittedly Valor's "Sex, Drugs, And Jesus Christ" was an excellent record.)

    Swans-Various Failures (If you like your Goth raw and heartbreaking, as opposed to heavy and bludgeoning, this is the band for you. Either way, actually. Their early 80's stuff is very Godflesh heavy noiserock before Godflesh existed, and the later stuff, which this double cd features, is ridiculously beautiful. When Jarboe sings "Can't Find My Way Home", I want to curl up in a ball and cry.)

    Bauhaus-Hmmm...I guess just grab the singles doubledisc. They're the Godfathers of goth, and theyre not even "goth" which I find entertaining. Theyre basically Artschool rock by guys who like makeup and g-chords. I mean... they cover bowie and t rex and brian eno....theyre glamrock in a spooooooky package and i adore them.

    How about industrial? you like that stuff? i can go on for days about that. and no, NIN and Manson don't count.

    I know it's a little bit older school, but maybe check out Sisters of Mercy.

    Should clarify - A Slight Case of Overbombing by Sisters of Mercy. MrChristopher has the right ideas.

    When the heck is SRC going to put out something new? (I know, it's a rhetorical question.) Martina Axen's been the new lead for more than a year, so WTF. They've got some new songs posted to their website but nothing's been released. I was lucky enough to grab a free legal copy of "Methlehem" off their old website before it was replaced with a non-downloadable version of it.

    Also, let me add to the list:
    The Damage by Tapping the Vein
    Initiation by The Start
    So Long Scarecrow by Scarling

    Oh, yeah. Keep meaning to post this link. Free Music, a five-song EP that's free and legal to download from 50 Foot Wave fronted by Kristen Hersh.

    Try the new group Allele, members of Cold and Otep. Kind of like Trapt but a little harder. Another one is Nightwish, girls at my club that dance to Manson, NIN etc. love it. The closest discription I can give.... Evanescence like, the female vocalist is operaish, a lot heavier, metal with some symphony to it. Download one check it out, or find a place you can listen first, you should like it.

    Allele sucks in my opinion. I can see why they're EX members of Cold & Otep...they sound like EVERY new pop/rock band to come along these days
