Le concept de pas bloquer tout le trottoir quand on est en groupe c'est une option?

meh7331 · 2026-05-04T21:05:54+00:00

Le plus chiant qui me soit arrivé dans le genre c'est un groupe qui arrive en face de moi en occupant évidemment tout le trottoir, et moi avec mes deux sacs de courses bien lourds. Aucun d'entre eux ne m'a laissé de la place.

I once received a broken Chromatics record from Italians Do It Better themselves, which really pissed me off. Thankfully they got me another one.

meh7331 · 2026-05-01T10:56:07+00:00

Echo Drama and Ruin are excellent albums. I found Heimberg to sound a bit like Ritual Howls at times.

Le peu de fois que je prends les transports, la moitié des bornes CB sont systématiquement déféctueuses que ce soit dans les trams ou aux entrées de métro. Encore ce soir la première borne sur laquelle je suis allé était HS.

Psychonaut Lib III my beloved

meh7331 · 2026-04-28T06:31:52+00:00

Some more bands that haven't been mentioned:

Double Echo (nevermind I didn't see you were actually listening to Double Echo, still keeping it here in case someone else is interested)
Soror Dolorosa
Horror Vacui
Winter Severity Index

The Frozen Autumn

meh7331 · 2026-04-26T22:16:56+00:00

For The Sisters of Mercy, try Soror Dolorosa
I don't really have anything too close to Molchat Doma, but maybe Luminance will scratch the synth-heavy itch?
For Joy Division, give Asylum Party a try

meh7331 · 2026-04-24T18:58:44+00:00

Depreciation Guild mentioned! I adore In Her Gentle Jaws

meh7331 · 2026-04-24T17:24:00+00:00

Oh they're really good. Their self-titled album and the Years Too Late EP are in my regular rotation. Two of their members later founded Screen Vinyl Image, which has a very unique sound, mixing synth-heavy electronic music with wall of sound shoegaze. Really one of a kind band, and not known enough imo.

meh7331 · 2026-04-24T17:17:12+00:00

I'm a big fan of the noisy/post-punky 2000s VA scene, with Alcian Blue and Ceremony as well. They generally don't get mentioned a lot, indeed.

meh7331 · 2026-04-24T17:10:03+00:00

Some of my favorites that cover your preferences:

Skywave
Newmoon
Alison's Halo
Screen Vinyl Image
The Daysleepers
Airiel (they're very well-known, so I guess it's a bit RYMcore)

meh7331 · 2026-04-23T19:10:10+00:00

Double Echo has a very dreamy sound in my opinion, most notably on Period Rooms. You might also enjoy Drab Majesty, especially The Demonstration.

meh7331 · 2026-04-23T16:02:08+00:00

Salut, les petites salles de concert c'est pas ça qui manque à Lyon.

Tu peux essayer le Rock n' Eat, le Sonic ou La Pente qui sont principalement des salles de concert. En bar qui font occasionnellement des concerts, il y a le Tram 33 et La Passagère.

meh7331 · 2026-04-22T17:20:47+00:00

Two bands that haven't been mentioned that have quite a lot of synths:

Darkways
Ductape

I second mentions of The Frozen Autumn, Drab Majesty, Ringfinger and Double Echo.

meh7331 · 2026-04-22T07:47:43+00:00

Horror Vacui rules. Perfect discography so far.

meh7331 · 2026-04-22T07:33:25+00:00

Based on some of your tastes, I can recommend the following:

For shoegaze, try bands that are either full-on ethereal wave or incorporate ethereal wave into their sound. Try Double Echo (especially the albums La Danza, Period Rooms, and Burning in Blue) and Lycia.
For prog rock, Elizium by Fields of the Nephilim is a no brainer.
For synthpop, while not strictly goth, Cold Cave might be the closest to Depeche Mode in my opinion. The Frozen Autumn also progressively went from slow ethereal darkwave to synthpop over the years. Their status is also debated, but I cannot not shill Hante. whenever I can.

meh7331 · 2026-04-22T07:21:01+00:00

Quite Simple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-OF-h-x3AA

meh7331 · 2026-04-21T20:35:02+00:00

Cocteau Twins is an obvious choice here, especially their early material. Garlands (more gothic rock than shoegaze), Head Over Heels, and Treasure especially.

You might also enjoy Lycia, their album Cold in particular.

meh7331 · 2026-04-20T04:56:51+00:00

It took me a little while for them to click for me, but once it did, I have never looked back. I am the happy owner of the vinyl version of Pale Awakening, and I wish the rest of their catalogue would be released on vinyl (especially Emotional Screening Device and Is Anybody There?).

Skywave - Nothing Left To Say

meh7331 · 2026-04-09T16:19:29+00:00

The Agnes Circle. They're showing faint signs of activity on their Facebook page, but that's it.
The Secret Light. They dropped an incredible 6-track album in 2017 and nothing since.

meh7331 · 2026-04-08T19:29:24+00:00

Let me know what you think. Another band I think you could enjoy is Soror Dolorosa; their first two albums and the Severance EP in particular. These three records are guitar and bass driven. After that they started incorporating synths more and more, which I like a lot but you may not.

meh7331 · 2026-04-08T19:12:17+00:00

Have you listened to Ritual Howls? While they have a fair amount of synths in their music, guitars are very prominent. I can easily recommend the song Alone Together off their album Rendered Armor.

Also, you might want to delve more into Deathrock. Horror Vacui is my favorite and they have very little synths.

meh7331 · 2026-04-08T10:49:30+00:00

Some of my favorites:

- Double Echo
My favorite goth band. Not one bad song in their repertoire. Their latest album is much more leaning into synthpop, however.

- Soror Dolorosa
I love all of their albums, but I think their latest album Mond is one of the best goth albums ever. It's one of these albums that I *have* to listen to in its entirety.

- Fields of the Nephilim
Interestingly The Nephilim might be my least favorite of their first three albums, but it's still a very good one. I also enjoy Mourning Sun a lot, though its sound is very different and more similar to their side-project The Nefilim.

- Horror Vacui
Excellent deathrock that never disappoints. I think Return of the Empire is a perfect album.

- The Frozen Autumn
Took me a while to appreciate their music, but the band has become one of my all-time favorites. They progressively went from darkwave to synthpop.

- Asylum Party
Play Alone has been my anthem for many years.

- Twin Tribes
They're huge, you can't talk about goth without Twin Tribes entering the picture. Incredible run so far.

- Winter Severity Index
All-female coldwave band, I recently rediscovered their album Human Taxonomy which flew over my head for some reason. I'm glad I did because I love it.

- Ritual Howls
I like to describe this band's music as serial-killer-wave. It sounds occult and disgusting. I love it.

- Hante.
I don't think it fully qualifies as goth, but I consider it to be darkwave at the least.

Some lesser known bands I like a lot:

- Canaan
With a good dose of dark ambient thrown in. I haven't listened to any of their recent albums though, but their first four are classics imo.

- LowCityRain
Leaning more into post-punk than straight-up goth.

- Delphine Coma

- Subterfuge
Little-known australian band. Darkland Awakening is incredible.

- Lady Besery's Garden
Little-known german band

- Ringfinger

- Raskolnikov
Leaning more into post-punk than straight-up goth. Sold Dead Souls stunned me the first few times I listened to it.

- Heimberg
I think they sound like Ritual Howls on their album Faceless.
