That's fine, but just a tip: put a little more work into these posts, especially if you are making a brand new thread for a band. Type up information, history, what the singer's favorite cheese snack is. That sort of thing. I know we could all google it, but a write up is just a courtesy to potential readers. That is all.

Sure.

The project was formed by an eccentric recluse that called himself Mr. Doctor, who was formally a law student and was apart of the post punk scene growing up. He used an odd vocal style that resided between singing and speaking and was able to create a lot of unique sounds for different feelings, sometimes even sounding like a different person all together.

He put together a team of really solid musicians and found his way into a studio with a talented engineer that had only done a few projects at most prior to this. The first record nobody will likely ever here, as they went through the painstaking effort of recording and mixing it only to keep it for themselves, but followed up with this record that I posted.

The sound is essentially a progressive/experimental goth rock with everything from very well orchestrated classical, to NWOBHM, to post punk influences.

It'll blow your mind if you're into any of those genre's.

I heard of them for the first time when one poster (tone float, I think) mentioned them in another thread. So I listened to some of it on youtube. It's a very interesting music, especially what you posted here, this The Girl Who Was Death. That's the name of the album, right? I might look for it. What else would you recommend?

^ Yes, that's the album title. I'd recommend anything they made, it's all a trip. I ordered everything they made off of amazon last week, look there if you're looking to pick up some real copies. Ebay probably has some special edition stuff as well for a higher price.
