I'm a big fan of earlier Goth Rock that was generally darker and more experimental (Pornography by The Cure, Juju by Siouxsie and the Banshees, Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division). I feel like during the 80s and 90s, the genre was full of different sounds, and there was a lot more variation. Tender Prey by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and The Great Annihilator by Swans are both great Gothic Rock albums, but they're very different in mood and sound.

I love certain modern Goth music (Have a Nice Life, Chelsea Wolfe), but most of what I've heard sounds way too much specifically like The Sisters of Mercy to me. The programmed drums, the deep vocals, the production. And don't get me wrong, The Sisters of Mercy are awesome (First and Last and Always is a great album), but it's almost like this became the expected sound for Goth Rock at some point, and many people stopped playing around with what could be done in the genre. Does anyone have any weirder, darker, or just different sounding modern Goth recommendations?

Hey, I've listened to some of the classics (Siouxsie and Sisters of Mercy), but I had a reccomendation from idk who for Nuovo Testamento and love them too. Any other reccomendations for goth bands still producing music? Thanks, and have a wonderful day!

There's a gulf between Sisters of Mercy and something like Twin Tribes or Forever Grey, but we all intuit them as 'goth' and i'm just wondering how this developed, historically.

EDIT: Misspoke here, did not mean to imply that synth or darkwave is a modern thing, but more that it's far more prevalent now as a dominant goth sound and was curios as to how we still consider this music to be goth (not that i disagree with that at all).

I'm looking for modern goth bands that sound like 45grave, Christian Death, alien sex fiend, etc. Most modern goth bands I come across are more mellow and synth-heavy, and I've been struggling to find anything more rock-leaning. Thank you in advance!
