I love their sound, especially on Songs for the Sinners. I love that album! _________________ I just want to eat your brains.

As far as some thing similar I'd recommend Fields of the Nephilim, Inkubus Sukkubus, The Mission or The Sisters of Mercy. They're some of the more Hard Rock influenced Gothic Rock bands. I usually recommend them to people who like Gothic Metal or Metal in general.

I recommend their debut album Only Theatre of Pain. It's a classic Deathrock album.

I usually recommend them to people who like Gothic Metal or Metal in general. I didn't say they were gothic rock (I've only listened to 2 of their albums, what can I say? ), but I said I'd like something in gothic rock in their vein. Those sound good. I shall proceed to kill computer space. But, can you give me an album from each band to start off with? I think it'd make things easier. _________________ I just want to eat your brains.

As far as albums go let me think: Fields of The Nephilim - "Dawnrazor" and also "Mourning Sun" Recommended songs: Power, Preacher Man, Mourning Sun Inkubus Sukkubus - With Inkubus Sukkubus I would probably just start Wytches & Vampyres because it has a lot of their best songs on it. It's probably the best way to get an idea of what their style is like. Recommended songs: Heart of Lilith, Sweet Morpheus The Sisters of Mercy - For them I'd probably recommend their first album "First and Last and Always." Recommended tracks: Walk Away, Marian The Mission: Personally I don't really like them but since they are a second generation Gothic Rock bands with a more Hard Rock sound I recommended them. But from what I've heard I really like the song "Deliverance."

I'll check out the other two. _________________ *also known as whoisthat at ML* "Every fool who has nothing of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs; he defends all its faults, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority."

If you have a link or something, that'd be good. I just got finished updating the recommendations page of my site. I added a playlist with songs from various Goth bands including Inkubus Sukkubus. So if you're interested you can find them here.
