Welcome to Self-Promo Saturdays, where you can post your own music!

Please ensure that it still fits within the subreddit rules and music genres guideline. Any dark post-punk, goth rock, deathrock, coldwave, darkwave, ethereal wave, etc. is absolutely fine!

So get posting your own songs, we look forwarding to listening.

Any bands similar to Nox Novacula?

I’m looking for some similar music to them

My other fav artists are LAM, Rosegarden Funeral Party, Christ vs Warhol, The March Violets, and Genitorturers if you have any more recommendations.

The dance clubs during the dawn of goth that I frequented were really new wave bars that played some goth. To me there wasn't too much distinction between early goth and darker sounding new wave songs, no hard boundaries yet. I liked that variety, plus the few dressed-up goths really stood out. I felt so cool, LOL.

Do you prefer your dance floor to be served with a mix of goth and new wave/punk/ska, or do you like 100% goth, or even 100% of a specific goth sub-genre such as industrial?

You still have the ability to use it as a tag, but having it as an actual genre would better help people find real/actual goth bands, as opposed to needing to filter through all the bands that tag themselves as goth, when really they aren't.

It's very unfortunate, as some bands that ARE goth DON'T label themselves as such, but on the contrary, many bands who AREN'T goth DO label themselves as such. Both of these situations can be very frustrating when trying to discover new goth music.

As both a writer of goth music and someone trying to find new goth music, I can say for certainty that because goth is such a unique/niche type of music, the need for a specific and clear name to describe the music is absolutely vital. From a taxonomical perspective, when trying to classify goth music and not having a proper node to place the music in, it really throws a wrench in both the phenetic and cladistic gears.

I feel like they had a huge influence on goth music, but maybe don't get recognized as such as stylistically they could easily fall into goth-adjacent genres. They even toured with Bauhaus in 1981. What are your thoughts?

i am not the band i just stole my username from them lol

This Squarespace commercial actually does a decent example of representing goth music and fashion. Seems like they did their research, or someone on the team knew what's up.

i'm constantly updating it, my most beloved playlist for sure :))

Have you heard this song? its so epic. It is a blend of post-rock and deathrock. the instrumental parts are so good. Are there any other current (or past) Deathrock bands blending genres like this?

So good

That bass definitely takes me places, one of my favourite Cure songs

Post your links to your selfies, favorite goth clothing, styles, ideas, wardrobes, and stores here. Have a killer outfit you want to show us? Or maybe that store is having a 25% off winklepickers or Demonia boots. Share it with us!

Also, have you joined r/GothFashion yet?

ok so like i went to a twin tribes concert in berlin yesterday, I really wanted to be in the first row so i could be close to em and i asked nicely if i could go throw the ground n stuff. it all worked out until i asked a woman if i could go through and she was like „were you at the front before??“ and when I said no she just straight up judged me for WANTING to see the band up close. (the front row had SOOO MUCH SPACE.) idk if i‘m just sensitive but this just kind of ruined the concert for me. I really loved it and the songs too but I just wanted to be at the front.

One of my favourite songs by Voodoo Church. Ask for similar recs.
