Inkubus Sukkubus - Wytches

This is my new recommendation it is called Wytches from this Goth rock band from UK called Inkubus Sukkubus, the album is pretty damn good and I really think that this is my favorite work from this band, it has some brilliant lyrics always sumerged into the wiccan frame present in all of their works, the music it's not the virtuosity incarnated but it's quite cool, enough with the speech go ahead and download it.

Esta es mi nueva recomendación se llama Wytches del grupo Inkubus Sukkubus del Reino Unido, el disco es bastante bueno, la verdad creo que es lo que más me gusta de este grupo de rock gótico, tiene ideas muy interesantes siempre envueltas en ese marco wiccano que caracteriza las letras de todos sus albumes, la música pues si bien no es virtuosa, deleita, que al fin y al cabo es la finalidad, Wytches, Pagan Born y Call Out my Name, que a mi parecer son las mejores canciones del disco, bueno basta de hablado disfrútenlo.

Human Drama - Cause and Effect

I think is the one of the last Human Drama's cd, a darkwave and gothic rock band from the USA, the sound of the record is just great, without a doubt their best production, it's melancholic like every other work of them, but now you can feel the special halo, so subtle, so delicious, it simply takes you away, every song carry that tragic or impossible love, the melodies and warm but lugubrious and solitaries, as if it whispers to the lyrics, it also contains a couple of covers Bang the Drum Slowly from Emmylou Harris and Dance me to the End of Love from Leonard Cohen, both performances are exquisite and are totally at the level of the original songs. Well this is a cd for spite and dedicate.

Creo que este es el penúltimo disco de Human Drama un grupo estadounidense de rock gótico y darkwave, el sonido de este disco es espectacular, es sin duda alguna su mejor obra, es melancólico como todos sus trabajos pero este agrega un hálito especial, tan tenue, tan sabroso, simplemente lo transporta a uno, todas las canciones siempre llevan ese mensaje de amor trágico o imposible, las melodias cálidas pero lúgubres, solitarias como si le susurrara un consuelo a la letra, también tiene un par de covers Bang the Drum Slowly de Emmylou Harris y Dance me to the End of Love de Leonard Cohen, ambos son perfectos y le hacen mérito a las canciones originales, en fin este disco es para despechar y dedicar.

Rasputina - Frustration Plantation

Here we go again with this Rasputina cd, Frustration Plantation, one of my favorites albums from this band, very amusing and very cool lyrics, the music is awesome, it's really a piece of gold, hope you enjoy it.

Este Cd del grupo Rasputina es sin duda unos de sus mejores trabajos, las letras a veces chocantes y divertidas de Melora Creager son exageradamente buenas, y el trabajo en la parte musical es majestuoso, es en verdad una joya digna de oirse, las canciones van desde una canción a capella hasta ya piezas mas pesaditas, mi favorita sería Mamma Was an Opium-Smoker, oiganlo, disfrutenlo, y váyanse en el viaje de este disco

Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows - Dead Lovers Sarabande Face 1

Well this is my first recomendation, the sopor aeternus creation "Dead Lovers Sarabande face 1" is just beautiful, the drone, depressive ambient, blows away your mind, with that nice and clean baroque sound, plus some well finished lyrics, vocals and the dreamy interpretation of The Sleeper of Edgar Allan Poe and a well elaborated art, dedicated to Rozz Williams, this cd is a MUST, one of the very best opus of Anna Varney and his/her ensemble of Shadows.

Bueno gente (lol) esta es mi primera recomendación, la creacion de Sopor Aeternus and the Emsemble of Shadows, Dead Lovers Sarabande face 1, la verdad a mi parecer es por mucho la mejor creación de este grupo hasta la fecha, es simplemente hermoso el ambiente oscuro, lúgubre, casi en momentos hasta nauseabundo que emana es simplemente genial, siempre destacando ese sonido barroco de la mayoría de sus composiciones, la onírica interpretación que hace del poema de Edgar Allan Poe, The Sleeper, es simplemente majestuosa, este disco es definitivamente un deber en toda galeria musical, leyendo por ahí me encontré con el hecho que es dedicado al difunto Rozz Williams, vocalista de la banda de gótico Christian Death, así que disfruten esta pieza de arte porque vale muchísimo la pena
