Transience [ALBUM REVIEW]

The name Frozen Ocean brings with it many things.

Beyond Redemption is Lex the Hex Master’s second LP, and after the success of Contact and his EPs many fans anticipated this album’s release. It finally dropped on Halloween!

The Continuous Evilution of Life’s ?’s [ALBUM REVIEW]

Wait, what?! A horrorcore rap review on a Goth webzine? Yeah well, horrorcore rap has been one of my loves for almost twenty years, and I think it would be somewhat dishonest of me to not review at least one album, and what better album to review than Twiztid’s latest release: The Continuous Evilution of Life’s ?’s (pronounced “life’s question marks”), especially since I’ve met quite a few Goths who are fans of them. This is the duo’s eleventh studio album to date, and their second studio album since leaving Psychopathic Records and beginning their own label, Majik Ninja Entertainment.

Lemuria [EP REVIEW]

From their origin to the members, an air of mystery surrounds UK Goth rock band Guillotine Dream. According to their Facebook page, they’ve been around since 1987 but no previous releases can be found (Weird). It is also very unclear as to who they are, since the members wear costumes that cover their faces. All we really know is that the band consists of Arc (vocals and guitars), Lake (bass) and Mapk (drums), and they seem to have appeared out of nowhere with their new EP Lemuria set for release at the end of October.
