Info:
What exactly is Goth in the year 2009? Surely it's not entirely comprised of what this scene's media portrays it to be. Goth anno 2009 can indeed sound cool and up to date. Goth anno 2009 has nothing to do with trivial pop lyrics or stadium rock melodies. Goth anno 2009 is indeed ready for the 21st century. Goth, in all its guises, whether guitar-based or electronic, does not necessarily have to sound retro. Gothic Rock, Wave, Post Punk, Deathrock, Indie, Minimal Electro, Old School EBM, New Wave, Electroclash - all these subgenres and varieties are featured prominently on "DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN". This 40 tracks double-CD release offers more than 2.5 hours of this scene's most well known artists such as Bloody Dead And Sexy, Absolute Body Control, New Days Delay, Mephisto Walz, The Cold, Murder At The Registry, Miserylab (ex-Rosetta Stone), Telegram Frank (solo project of Frank The Baptist's singer), Vendemmian as well as today's finest newcomers such as Solemn Novena, Sleepmask, Velvet Condom, Grooving In Green (ex-Children On Stun), QEK Junior, Project:KOMAKINO, Informer, and Reizstrom (the latter with their awesome cover version of Grauzone's classic "Wütendes Glas"). Not only does "DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN" consist of contemporary genre stompers of which 75% are either exclusive, or previously unreleased, or remixed - but it is also released at unbeatable midprice! On top of that you'll find amazing photos by MELANCHOLY IMAGES, band pics, and liner notes on each band written by Goth's jack-of-all-trades, GOTHIC Magazine's head of the editorial department, PAGAN LOVE SONGS-DJ and "DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN"-compiler Thomas Thyssen in the 20-page booklet.
