Cemetery Echo – Civitas Lacrimarum (Mercurial Haunt N’ Roll)

  I suspected I would eventually get a good Goth, or at least Goth-adjacent, release at some point this year, and thankfully Buffalo’s Cemetery Echo answered my plaintive call. I don’t know what it is about the genre, but bands within the world of gloom are constantly stuck in recapitulation. I get it, sometimes what […]

Horror Vacui – S/T (Post-Goth Punk Goth)

  Yes, Goth stuff. I’ve been making more of an effort to find such things for review, because I just don’t get enough.
