About So essentially.. I understood the moment I made this site that I needed to list my preferences on goth music if i was gonna be like... 'Yippee im a goth and a goth writer , how cool!' But I procrastinated deeply and did anything else, so now im making it available only now, about 2-3 months into the site.
The way this is gonna go down is im gonna try to list songs I've listened to and collected from artists, but only if you promise me you won't judge how scarce it is... I worked my way through 5 discovery playlists to weed out what was filler to my tastes and probably need to stop that, actually.
So, with that said, ill show you a list that's organized in no particular order, as it's just what i pulled from lastfm. It's also a (somewhat) genre mixup because this is just my list and not a definitive goth list. I only really care what I listen to (and 30% of the time that's yokune ruko and hatsune miku so lets be fr here..)
artist - song name(s) - extra info
Selofan - There Must Be Somebody, Billie Was A Vampire, I'm Addicted, The One You Wanted, Give Me A Reason Selofan is a good band, I listen to it in those times when you just have to listen to something but you don't wanna hear anything. Billie is kind of a stereotypical pick, but it's a fun song.
Alter de Fey - Demons, Veil of Death, Elisa Lam, Vampires
Nox Novacula - PRAY FOR SLEEP, DRUG (BITTER PILL), Ascension
Inkubus Sukkubus - Vampyres, Vampyre Erotica Haven't gotten to listen to all their songs, but I find it amusing the first thing I come across from them are double vampire songs. To be fair, I was listening to a vampire goth playlist LOL.
Vision Video (or whatever they're gonna be next since they broke up) im weak to goth-pop but I also like their traditional goth songs too... comfort in the grave was fun though, despite it all. i also love beautiful day to die and find myself idly singing it in public lol. im happy that peppy, babybat me was introduced to them and RFP early
Paralysed Age - Empire of the Vampire (Album), Tragedia Nosferata, The Grave Shall Be Forever vampires... i found out about them independent of vampires but VAMPIRES
Rosetta Stone - The Witch, An Eye for the Main Chance, People, Tomorrow for Us, Children Of The Poor, Adrenaline... i know too many of their songs bc i got in a fight with someone about them and Sisters and so i stopped listening to Sisters out of spite lol (the actual reason is i find Sisters of Mercy too hard to get into for me... kind of the same issue i have with Bauhaus where i like a couple of songs but can't vibe with a certain core melody they have?) (I like Angels of Mercy too but i gotta get back in the game with all them bro)
Angels of Liberty - Haunted, Son of the Serpent, The Last Vampire, Phantom Horse personal evolution from rosetta stone for me... idk maybe im weird. i just started listening to them but I love their band name.. i love a lot of goth band names tbh
Skeletal Family - Hands on the Clock, Promised Land, Waltz, She Cries Alone I love female voices in goth songs... my favorite one atm (it'll probably change) is She Cries Alone or Waltz. Waltz is kind of more fun in a dark way, though. Waltz is very much my kind of goth.
There's a band called Velvet Mist that I wanna know more about. So far I listened to Valley of Dreams by them and I like their sound. I found them through LastFM lol
I'm also getting into Switchblade Symphony? Not as a priority, but I heard Clown by them and im interested. It's the same with Cellar Darling, even though they don't share the same genre, but with them my first listen was The Hermit.
Rosegarden Funeral Party I love all their music, I think by now I listened to the bulk of their music on my own. I heavily relate to Salvation and Saving Face though, so I have to ackowledge Leah Lane there
Horror Vacui - Lost, Consolation Prize, In Darkness You Will Feel Alright, Corvus Corax, My Funeral My Party, +a few more A good stranger recommended them to me when in March but i never got around to listening to them in full, just the few hits and so on. I always mean to listen to their deeper cuts, but I love the kind of... subtly discordant vibe of Lost. Their hits feel niche in a way, and I'm sure they're not though.
All About Eve (my favorite song of theirs is Flowers in Our Hair) Someone's gonna kill me but she's like if ABBA was goth lmao.. even though i don't think her music is pure goth like talking about it (it sounds indistinguishable from an ABBA or Dolly song at times, which is in no way bad btw. maybe id even go as far to call it more aligning with christian value folk songs? but then... i shouldn't do that), i listened to a shit ton of her music and she inspired my little whimsigoth look with a lighter form of goth... and then i turn around and listen to goth metal like nothing happened lol (never ask a purist goth what they think of epica.. ps i love epica a little bit but not enough to play it enough to list)
If you want raw song recs, I'll say... anything Mephisto Walz, Rosetta Stone's An Eye for the Main Chance, Street of Dreams by The Damned, Christ Vs. Warhol's Cross of Lorraine, Specimen's Hex (any version, I play 12"), Death Has Tasted Blood by The Cemetary Girlz, Vision Video's In My Side and Beautiful Day to Die, Enslaved by Diva Destruction, Silver by Nosferatu, Kick in the Eye by Bauhaus (maybe Dark Entries too, depending on where you wanna go next), Pain by Boy Harsher (a godsend for me personally), Vampyre Erotica by Inkubus Sukkubus, Valley of Dreams by Velvet Mist.. i can't think of more atm
unrelated things ALSO if you wanted to know about vocaloid/utau since i brought it up, you should check out some people...
my favorite voca-utau cover artists are lucifer (makes good gakupo covers...), g0966, Illustry/Illustre, Pigeon, Toilet-P, Shima eaea and um... some more (there's too many, just look up your faves and immediately sub to whoever makes their content the best ok)
