Too many to mention, but here is a great new track from The Red Moon Macabre that came out today in honor of Poe, who inspired it:

Ooh being a long time goth I could def rave on about my favorite bands, The Cure, Christian Death, She Past Away, The Cramps, The Smiths (tragically). But some underrated bands that I think fit the gothic sound that I enjoy are: Catholic Spit, P. Paul Fenech and The Coffin Fits! Check out 'Die Alone' by Catholic Spit, 'Theda Bara' by The Coffin Fits, and 'Demon Seed Rising' by P. Paul. :)

I really love Lebanon Hanover, Desmond Doom, Rosegarden Funeral Party, The Cult Sounds (really obscure for some reason??? their song Phantoms is an absolute banger), and O. Children <3 I'll probably find more artists that I'll fall in love with over time
