Teen Gothic

I have loved the album Floodland by Sisters of Mercy for over a decade now and tried sporadically to listen to their other stuff, but just couldn't get into it. I have recently gone through their whole discography and I have found some gems on the album "Some Girls Wander by Mistake" I am not saying the album is exceptional because out of the 24 songs I wouldn't eagerly listen to most of them. But if you like goth music, please listen to the following songs.. Burn, Lights, Heartland, Floorshow and Adrenochrome.

I was wondering if this would go over well? I did this at another concert and it went great but the band was very different than The Sisters Of Mercy. I've never seen them before so I don't know the vibe of the concert. I can't imagine anything terrible happening but I wouldn't want to be seen as annoying or anything like that.

So I've been on the hunt for a while, and I found a site that lists guitar, bass guitar, and drum machines. But I'm not sure that's everything, and I'm horrible at identifying instruments, so my ears don't know either.

Mostly, I'm trying to identify what makes the sound we hear as the track begins.

I don't know how well known Heartworms is but she's my favourite artist right now and this is a fantastic cover. I recommend checking her out.

So Sisters of Mercy is coming to my area for a concert and I'm a fan of their music. I guess I have a few curiousity/worry questions about the whole thing by biggest being: Is it worth it? I'm 17 and my mom would be taking me. It's in St. Augustine, Florida. If I do go, I plan to get pit tickets so because of that, my other questions are:
– Is the crowd nice?
– How is the pit? Is it aggressive?
If its not obvious, I'm a baby bat and I've never been to a goth concert before but I have been to a rock concert and have been in a mosh pit so I can handle myself well I think, I guess I'm just nervous and want to have the most fun I can and not feel as if its a waste.

Thank you for your help!! 🙂

Without trying to fellate them too much, First and Last and Always was my goth gateway and I still feel like it's in my top 5 of all time of any genre of music. Marian alone kinda left the rest of the goth rock genre falling short of what I'm looking to find in it. The atmosphere of this album is so damn good. It's just the right amount of gloom and catchiness.

All this being said, why is it that every time I find a SOM clone it feels so shallow or they just poorly imitate Eldritch? Even though I've found an appreciation for them, I remember finding Merciful Nuns a few years ago and being severally disappointed just because I went in expecting FaLaA.

Have y'all ever found a clone that was worth checking out? Maybe my head is too far up this band's ass that my expectations cannot be met
