A new Depeche Mode album is always bound to confuse casual music critics and passive listeners. Confidently boasting the title of the world’s most successful electronic band, Dave and Martin’s formula for synths and beats has never been as easily quantifiable as rock ‘n’ roll magazines would have the Depeche Mode novice believe. 2013’s Delta…
In the coming months in the UK there is to be a nationwide celebration of gothic film and TV. You can find out more about this at the British Film Institute, but in the meantime here are 10 of the best goth movies of all time. But are they the best? Let us know what…
A look at the 10 top pets for gothic guys and girls, from terrifying tarantulas to frankly odd poodles.
Out of all the bands keeping alive the ethereal cries of 80s doom and gloom, Arizonan darkwave band Bella Lune have managed to accomplish as much with a gentle and fragile finesse. Since 2007, songwriting duo Fuchsia Angel and Kal3id have crafted tunes welded with the spacious soundscapes of Cocteau Twins, the pouty post-punk of…
One of the most remarkable features of Android Lust’s career has always been the voice of its mastermind, Shikhee D’iordna. The manic and emotional stylistics of Shikhee’s vocals are a welcome reprieve from the homogenous cookie monster grunts of today’s popular oontz oontz. So when an album that enters the Android Lust catalogue is largely…
For most of the general public, travelling in a limousine is the ultimate in class and luxury. Nothing beats a stretch limo driven by a chauffeur while you quaff champagne (why does everyone ‘quaff’ champagne as opposed to drinking or sipping it?) in the backseat in comfort. Yet this is all terribly boring if you…
We thought we would share this with you. We even added this content to the Gothic Angel website. It was only after lunch that we came back and proof read the article again that we saw our glaring error. Its not just the title…. Who knew that a simple swap of an ‘i’ for…
All the best make-up looks, especially dramatic ones, start with a great base. Preparing the skin for make-up is vital for a smooth and professional finish. A good exfoliator as well as a regular cleanse/tone/moisturise regimen will do more for your face than any other product designed to cover or accentuate – so start with…
Gothic beauty Kelly Osbourne has often spoken in the media about getting her tattoos removed, referring to them as a ‘form of self-harm’. Now, while this may be true for Kelly, I love my tattoos which I have had for over fifteen years; to be frank, I think mine are lovely and hers are not…
That is the question… Piercings can be great fun and can really set off your look, but they also may leave scars and have other disadvantages such as possibly going septic. Not quite as irretractable as tattoos, a well placed piercing or two may tickle your fancy if you want to go down the road…
Following the revelations about Kristen Stewart’s ‘affair’ with married director Rupert Sanders, much speculation has ensued about the circumstances surrounding the release of the final Twilight movie. Stewart was famously the girlfriend of teen heart-throb Robert Pattinson for two years, a relationship that started on the Twilight set. They play the central couple, Bella Swan…
Goth fashion had a great showing at this year’s Paris fashion week, with designers from Riccardo Tisci at Givenchy to Céline exhibiting some very inspiring blacks. It may be that you are after a very ‘street’ punky look, in which case it’s not that hard to buy appropriate gear and even distress it if you…
Alternative people tend to be fairly alternative from day one – it’s something inside. I know that I was always getting in trouble even at pre-school right from the ages of two and three, and I wasn’t being obstructive, I just do things differently. As an adult, it’s a great skill! I heard a story…
A strange phenomenon that has been manifested by my most Gothic sister should be explored: weird diseases and accidents. We need a survey! Do people who let their inner lives play out publicly through costume or behaviour manifest or express more unusual physical phenomenon? My sister’s physical freak-outs include: most of the skin falling off…
