Have you heard The Greater Wrong of the Right? That album rules all.

I like Fields of the Nephilim, as well as Bauhaus and some Siouxsie and the Banshees. I've been meaning to check out Cinema Strange and other goth rock.

As for drone, surprisingly I've never listened to that much of it, despite being into a lot of doom metal. The last drone I listened to and liked was Khanate. I don't know if they're like Earth. A mate recommended Hyatari to me.

OH MY GOD, I love Siouxsie and the Banshees.

I love this thread. Does anybody have Red Mecca, Cop/Young God or any Skinny Puppy?

I think Manic Street Preachers deserves a mention here; The Holy Bible is one of the most dark-aggressive post-punk albums available. Also, Gold Against The Soul has a pretty bleak vibe to it, although in more of a post-grunge/arena style.

I have got 'Too Dark Park' by Skinny Puppy, it's just insanely violent, macabre industrial. It's a shame you can never hear the lyrics but they are all conscious pro-animal rights/environmental rants apparently, I am a fan of that album.

I really dig the coldwave music that came out of Europe, like the dark side of the new wave era, bands like Siekiera, Kas Product etc. But I have rarely been moved to want to hear entire albums by any of these groups. If anybody has any recommendations I am all ears

There's a brilliant compilation I'd advise anyone to seek out titled So Young But So Cold: Underground French Music 1977-1983, it's more synth/electro but it fits the description of this thread

Great album. That and Last Rights are my two favorites by Skinny Puppy. The two of them could almost work as a double album together.

I need some Skinny Puppy. I have some promos directed by Jim Van Bebber on a DVD but that's it.

Was listening to this album before.
Phew is basically a Japanese solo artist by the name of Hiromi Moritani.

If you want to know what her music sounds like basically imagine Siouxsie Sioux doing an impression of Bjork while Can play in the background. In fact Holger Czukay & Jaki Liebezeit were members of her band at one time.
A couple of the tracks almost sound a bit like Radiohead's Kid A era , which isn't bad to say this came out 19 years earlier.

I don't know that much more about her. This is her self tited debut from 1981 , I know she released 3 more albums (1987 , 1992 & 1995) But i've not heard anything since.
