Teen Gothic

A true Goth Classic

Gods, where to begin? I don't even remember how I came across the Nephs, some time in 1991 I think, but they've been a life long favourite and this album is the ultimate goth cowboy road trip record.

They were such a unique band; entwined guitars, amazing basslines and drumming, atmosphere to spare and Dreamboat McCoy's unmistakable voice.

⛔️ WARNING: I RAMBLE ⛔️

I love Fields of The Nephilim so much. Even though they are only one of my favorite bands, there is no band considered goth or anything else that can ever scratch the precise itch that Neph does for me. Not even the Sisters of Mercy (who I truly LOVE) can compare with FOTN in terms of similarity, though Neph is occasionally labeled as a Sisters clone, which I genuinely don’t understand. It’s as if people see hats and hear “goth” and think “OMG just another copy”. Anyways, back to the music itself: FOTN have a timeless, evil yet Angelic, heavy yet ethereal vibe that frankly causes my disbelief that human beings sat in a studio and recorded that fantastic shit. What do you MEAN an ancient and immortal god wasn’t resurrected from the core of the earth to call upon his minions!? They sound so 1980s yet an angry medieval dragon could bellow out in a mighty voice the words that Carl McCoy such does.

Just want to listen stuff like that. Those bands have in common a thematics like occultism, esotericism, myticism, spiritualism. Not only lyrics also on aesthetics Anything similar is welcome

Some other subgenres like Darwave and Neofolk are also welcome

Hey, here's an oddly specific request. Can anyone recommend bands, songs or albums that give gothic cowboy vibes? And yes, I already know about Fields of the Nephilim.

Also interested in any extremely dark westerns, similar to the film Django from 1966. (He literally drags around a coffin!)

Django (1966)

I am gonna be an evil goth cowboy/desperado for Halloween and I am seeking both visual inspiration and music to put me in the mood.

I make reels on Instagram on my spare time. This was my latest one. Hope you guys like it.
