Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Goth

    What is the name of Tina Root's new band since her departure from Switchblade Symphony?Gothic Music Part 1

      Tre'lux . Tina went onto form Tre'Lux while her ex-bandmate went onto work with Candymachine88.

    What is the only gothic compilation box set from Cleopatra records to feature the band Lestat?Gothic Music Part 1

      'The Goth Box'. Though Lestat has several releases, all are hard to find due to their not having major label support. '?', from their 'Vision Of Sorrows' release, is the only track to make a gothic sampler.

    What song did Cruxshadows cover on their 'Until The Voices Fade' CD?Gothic Music Part 1

      'Here Comes The Rain Again'. One of the hardest to find CD's for me was 'Until The Voices Fade'. You can sometimes try and nail it on ebay but the average end price seems to be between $50-$100

    What band came as a spin off of Sisters of Mercy?Gothic Music Part 1

      The Mission. The Mission formed after many disagreements with Andrew E. of Sisters of Mercy. Due to legal problems The Mission's release in the U.S. is actually labeled The Mission UK.

    What classic B-side did The Cult not have on their retrospective CD 'Pure Cult'?Gothic Music Part 1

      'All Souls Ave.'. 'All Souls Ave.' is ofen considered one of the band's best songs yet and is extremly hard to find. It originally appeared on the 'Revolution' EP.

    What other name was the band Xymox known as?Gothic Music Part 1

      'Clan of Xymox'. I still dont know anything about Clan Of Xymox but I do have Xymox's 'Phoenix' and 'Twist Of Shadows' discs. The othe band names are all made up ones with a slight sence of humor.

    Which band or artist did not come out of Bauhaus?Gothic Music Part 1

      The Cramps. Love and Rockets had a top 10 hit with 'So Alive' from their self- titled release.

    What song was the theme for the 80's horror movie 'The Hunger' which also stared David Bowie?Gothic Music Part 1

      Bela Lugosi's Dead . It was weird that Bowie didn't do the theme instead.

    What movie had no songs in the film, but had a gothic soundtrack that sampled PIL, Bauhaus and Type O Negative?Gothic Music Part 1

      The Blair Witch Project. This is probably one of the best gothic samplers I own.

    What is the first release from Projekt records to highlight female vocals in gothic and darkwave music?Gothic Music Part 1

      'Seireenia'. 'Seireenia' is one of the most relaxing CD's out there, highlighting Lycia, Switchblade Symphony, and Faith And Disease. Stray and Mira are both gothic bands and not album names.

    What vocalist combines sarcasm and wit to the dreariness of the world of gothic music and whose CD's are appropriately named 'The Devis Bris' and 'Almost Human'?Gothic Music Part 1

      Voltaire. Voltaire adds sarcasm and wit to darkness and gypsy sounding music for an odd combination.

    What is the name of the last Switchblade Symphony CD released as of 2004?Gothic Music Part 1

      'Sweet Little Witches'. 'Sinister Nostalgia' was the band's supposed final release then they released Three little witches , a live retrospective spanning a few unreleased songs and band faves. Nistalgia is all remixes and re-done studio tracks with revised vocals. Every fan should own these CD.

    What Arabic singer died of AIDS in 2000?Gothic Music Part 1

      Ofra Haza . Though Ofra Haza wasn't Gothic, she often did etherial songs. She appeared on Cleopatra's tribute to Madonna CD doing 'Open Your Heart', and sang backup on the Sisters of Mercy's re-release of 'Temple Of Love' which was subtitled 'Touched By The Hand Of Ofra Haza'. She also did the theme song to the epic animated feature 'The Prince Of Egypt' and is sadly missed.

    What band does Cher's son belong to?Gothic Music Part 1

      Deadsy. Elijah Blue went onto form the band Deadsy. He also appears in Cher's video 'If I Could Turn Back Time'.

    After Robert Smith's mental breakdown in the 80's, he went on to play guitar for Siouxsie And The Banshees and the same year also released an album with Steve Severin under the band name The Glove. What is the title of the CD from The Glove?Gothic Music Part 1

      'Blue Sunshine'. 'Blue Sunshine' only featured Robert Smith's vocals on two songs 'Perfect Murder' and 'Mr. Alphabet Says'.

    On the tribute to U2, 'We Will Follow' from Cleopatra records, what song does Rosetta Stone cover?Gothic Music Part 1

      'October'. Rosetta Stone did a very dark version of U2's 'October' and kept it very true to the original. 'New Years Day' was Frontline Assembly with Tiffany, Die Krupps did 'Numb' and Spahn Ranch did 'I Will Follow'.

    What up and coming gothic band did 'Persephone' on Cleopatra's tribute to the Cocteau twins?Gothic Music Part 1

      Diva Destruction. Diva Destruction sounds almost like a cross between Switchblade Symphony and Siouxsie And The Banshees. They also have appeared on the tribute to Radiohead and two 'Unquiet Grave' CD's.

    What Killing Joke CD has the song 'Love Like Blood' on it?Gothic Music Part 1

      'Night Time'. One of the band's darkest and most haunting CD's, though not as slow as the 'Brighter Than 1000 Suns' CD.

    What Rolling Stones song did The Sisters Of Mercy cover on their 'Some Girls Wander By Mistake' CD?Gothic Music Part 1

      'Gimme Shelter'. Their version of 'Gimme Shelter' blows the original away. When I DJ'ed once, and played it, I had around five people want to know what song I was playing.

    Circle Of Dust's final song appeared only on the 'Carpe Noctem' CD sampler. What was the name of their last song?Gothic Music Part 1

      'Goodbye'. Goodbye only for now... Klay Scott has put all of his efforts into his latest project Celldweller. For more information go to www.dusted.com.

    Which song on the Cruxshadows' "Wishfire" CD has the chorus "Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger!"?Gothic Music Part 2

      Binary. The gothic dance band Cruxshadows' 2002 release, "Wishfire", is more dance-oriented then ever before. The psuedo trance song "Binary" has the very intense chorus saying, "Don't blame me" and is rumored to be about the film "The Matrix". There is no song called "The Messenger" on any Cruxshadows CD's, either.

    What oldies song did Rasputina cover on a 2001 B-side?Gothic Music Part 2

      You Don't Own Me. The gothic band called Rasputina often combines haunting melodies with string arrangements. They have also worked with Marilyn Manson in the past, though he isn't quite goth. "You Don't Own Me" was one of the biggest surprises I have ever heard them do.

    What Voltaire CD was released in 2002?Gothic Music Part 2

      Boo Hoo!. "Boo Hoo" is a heartbreaking CD by Voltaire, who needed to get out his emotions after a bad breakup with his girlfriend of 12 years.

      Conjure One. Rhys Fulbur recently left Frontline Assembly and Delerium to produce and work with various artists like Charlotte Church and Josh Groban, and also plays keyboards on Josh Groban's new CD/DVD set.

      Klay Scott. Klay Scott is better known for his work with Circle Of Dust and will be coming in full circle with his newest band, Celldweller. He also has worked with Argyle Park, AP2, Klank, Chatterbox, and Prong. His music also has been featured in films and TV shows like "K-911" and MTV's "Tough Enough" series; he also did the theme song to MTV's "Extreme Sports" show.

    From the CD "Vampire The Masquerade: Music From The Succubus Club", which band represented the Ravnos clan?Gothic Music Part 2

      Cruxshadows. The clan was represented by The Cruxshadows. While having one of their best songs ever with their track "Deception", the remainder of the disc just doesn't live up to the hype, though it has an all-star track listing!

    What Gary Numan CD lost distribution rights in the U.S. due to lack of interest, only to have a comic book company buy the rights and have it re-released and renamed "Dawn"?Gothic Music Part 2

      Sacrifice. "Sacrifice" was the first of his changing musical style; only after the success of "Exile" did the makers of the comic book "Dawn" approach Numan about re-releasing his "Sacrifice" disc for them.

    What was the only gothic band to play the first Lollapalooza tour?Gothic Music Part 2

      Siouxsie and The Banshees. Sadly, the only band in this list to make a Lollapalooza tour was Siouxsie and The Banshees, and that was due to her already touring for her new release, "Peek A Boo", at the time.

    Since Siouxsie was mentioned in the last question, what is her newest project that takes on a much more varied sound then her days with The Banshees?Gothic Music Part 2

      The Creatures. The Creatures are often much more dance-oriented then the Banshees ever were.

    What Lycia CD was released in 2002?Gothic Music Part 2

      Tripping Back Into Broken Days. The etherial band Lycia released "Tripping Back Into Broken Days" in 2002, "Burning Circle And The Dirt" came out in 1995, and "Estrella" came out in 1998. The "Compilation Appearances" disc was released in 2001.

    On Cradle of Filth's CD "Bitter Suites To Succubi", what song by Sisters of Mercy did they cover?Gothic Music Part 2

      No Time To Cry. They did an amazing job on the cover of "No Time To Cry". The remainder of the CD stays up to par, if you can handle Daney's vocals through an entire CD. All Sisters of Mercy songs listed appear on their "First, Last And Always" CD.
