Various. Darkness Before Dawn 1. 2CD.

Product Description

What's the state of the Gothic scene in 2009? Certainly not what the mainstream music media tries to tell you. Goth can still be cool and up to date, it can still provide the sopundtrack for the 21st century. And Goth with its manifolded sub-genres certainly doesn't have to sound old fashioned. Gothic Rock, Wave, Post Punk, Deathrock, Indie, Minimal Electro, old school EBM, New Wave, Electroclash - all these genres are featured on the "Darkness Before Dawn" 2CD compilation, compiled by longtime scene activist Thomas Thyssen. 40 tracks, more than 2,5 hours of music - a great start for this new compilation series. Released on UpScene and available June 25th, 2009.
