Teen Gothic

The covers are really good haven’t listened to the whole thing yet tho

The Eternal Chapter was a traditional gothic rock band from Johannesburg in South Africa. It was a labour of love for three musicians who were inspired by the sounds of good old fashioned goth in the face of the EBM onslaught that engulfed the underground scene. The band started in 1996 when Jaco V and Michael T came together to to let off some steam. They were then joined by vocalist Thomas W in 1997. Over time, the band became more than just a hobby and produced a demo album and contributed to several international compilations. The band broke up when Thomas went overseas to pursue his studies. A few years later Jaco V died tragically a few months after his move from Johannesburg to Cape Town. The legacy still continues and they left behind some of the most beautiful music that will always live in our hearts.

My personal favorites off the album are ‘Orchid Rain’ and ‘Featherless’.
