This is Christian Death's best album.

Only Theatre of Pain is great, but it has way too much punk rock in it to be a true masterpiece. Its strongest quality, namely its abrasive and provocative attitude, is also what makes it feel quite predictable at times. OToP is a classic because it did what it did well, but it was a single note thing.

Valor, in contrast, took a lot more risks in his first release with CD. He didn't try to recreate Rozz Williams' dramaqueenishness but rather had more of a miserable poet thing going. The album as such had the just the right proportion of dark brooding atmosphere and punkish attitude, not to mention legitimately interesting lyrics and concept, centered on the Second World War. Even the Gloomy Sunday doesn't feel gratuitous (on a goth album!). Atrocities not only gave CD a more cohesive identity as a specimen of non-generic deathrock, but also helped the genre itself, in the way it brought together diverse elements and broke (or toyed) with cliches.

Faith is the Cure's best album prove me wrong

>>70081829
It has some of their best songs but Pornography and Disintegration are more consistent.

>>70081691

While I like that (and White Light) more, I think Children of God fits the theme better.

Hey /dark/, just found this awesome EP recently.

If you have ANY interest in spikey, dancy post-punk, you owe it to yourself to listen to this. It sounds like a mix of ESG, Siouxsie Siouxsie and Joy Division with really tight musicianship and clear production. There are also noisier riffs that sound a LOT like Slint, strangely enough.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxtkf_ixYDY

does anyone feel like evol is sort of post punk?

Why do people make fun of Slab?

>>70089059
It certainly is, Sonic Youth came out of the no wave scene and still carries many no wave elements even if it is more accessible.

"post-punk" is a very broad label

>>70089118
is evol accepted in these dark wave threads?

i just think the album is really good and consistent except without bubblegum

Best FLA album? I've always preferred pic related and Implode. The Chair is one of my favorites from them

>>70089945
Lustmord's last two records are great especially The Word as Power, though often as very "soundscape-y" dark ambient it can move you or bore you to tears
Also I like the atmosphere on the latest Cryo Chamber project, Nyarlathotep. It's too long for its own good, though.

How can an album that defined deathrock be "generic-deathrock"? It's a shame their early albums (except Catastrophe) are always over-shadowed by OttoP they're underrated af, but that album is nonetheless a masterpiece.
I'm a bit biased since I love the more punk sounding side of deathrock tho

>>70089682

You're not alone. Maybe try TG Part 2: The Endless Not. It's much less annoying than their earlier works while remaining very experimental.

>>70089682
I dig TG but don't really like 20JG. At the time it may have sounded disturbing, but now it just sounds dated imo. Try 2nd Report, but expect an ambient album instead of an industrial one.

>>70090793
I wouldn't say it defined deathrock, it came out in 82 by the time the Dead Boys had a serious career, Gun Club and TSOL released their respective debuts and the scene was up and running.
OToP helped to define the style and the aesthetics in a significant way, though. Not necessarily in the music itself but more about the vibe.

>>70091042

Don't forget the Thirty-Second Annual Report too if you'd like to hear less-dated versions of Second Annual Report.

Honest opinion on EBM?

>>70091383
Can't really get into, I've tried Clock DVA (whose post-punk stuff is pretty good) and it just feels cheesy. I want to like it but I can't.

>>70091383
Don't get why people bash it so much. It's pure dance music in most cases, yeah it sounds very same-y and cheap most of the time, but serves its pupose well, I don't think it's supposed to be "good" music. When it's "good" though it can be great, like some of Front 242's stuff.

>>70091851
Front 242 counts as EBM?

someone needs to edit swans out. mall goth is not /dark/.

>>70081775
autoerotik is good in pieces, as a whole it's a mess. some great songs, but too repetitive and mediocre.

sadly, seems to be the theme to most modern post-punk/darkwave

>>70089682
it's really not meant to be enjoyable in any sense

>>70096989
if mall goths listened to swans I would've had a lot of mall goth friends in high school.

if anything a mall goth is most likely to listen to the cure on the chart

Have you guys heard of Devil Doll?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PS87xpm8SoI

>>70097068

I dunno, I think Swans are more well known now. They certainly weren't mall goth material a decade ago but these days they very well could be, >>70096989 is probably just a high school kid speaking from experience.

>>70097662
mall goth is barely even a thing nowadays I think.

>>70097712
also, the average teenager these days doesn't have the attention span for a 10+ minute track

>>70097712

It probably has a different name and aesthetic now but I think it will pretty much always be a thing. "Outsider cred" is just too tantalizing for teens to pass up.

>>70080661

once upon a time on /mu/ there was a thread about the SCARIEST music ever. A link impressed me but I didn't save it.
