Date At Midnight release their third album ‘Fading into This Grace’ on 3rd May 2024 through Manic Depression Records. They clearly seem to be keeping the tradition of great releases coming from Italy this year. The album opens with Rendez-vous pumping punked up postpunk to pound the dancefloor to a pulp! Epic! This Affection sees the tempo drop slightly with a beautifully crafted goth song which has a great switch to pulsing deathrock / new wave for the last 1.45 seconds.Wow!
Another Graceis like Rozz Williams era Christian Death but with whole new level of deathrock power. Love it! No Contract -Red Zone – sees the tempo drop down to Sisters of Mercy intro and driving bass to match. Really some great work on the guitars that captures the ghost of 90s Gothic Rock perfectly! Nice!
No Need To Define – musically has lovely hint of Rosetta Stone but still sounding like a breath of fresh air. Goth 11/10! Useless Love – really some great musicianship which has the light shone on it by some great mastering by William Faith reminds me of the very underrated band Black Atmosphere from the 90s. Great! Carmilla – has an almost Cure like dark pop bounce to it. Lovely! The Privation – has a spooky desolate feel hints of Fields of The Nephilim. Nice! The Line keeps The Fields Of The Nephilim fire burning into the smoke machine drenched night. Fantastic!
Daniele,Pasquale,Francesco and Manuel have easily produced not only their best album so far, but one of the top 10 Goth albums of 2024! A Gothic masterpiece! One to catch live this year.
The wait is finally over for the seventh album from Sweden’s Goth/New Wave/Postpunk rockers Then Comes Silence with Trickery due to burst forth onto Stereos everywhere on 5th April 2024! The band has come a long since its formation in 2012 by Alex Svenson in Stockholm being inspired by by a strong attraction to horror and the occult it’s no wonder they have been taking the goth world by storm with their stunning powerhouse live performances ever since. Their new album Trickery is released on long time custodians of Gothic Music Metropolis Records.
The album opens with Ride or Die which is the first track released as a video. The track has the instant hallmark of being yet another Goth dancefloor classic with its instant ear hooking chorus – “Take my soul, my blood, my words Let it be, ride or die.” Great!
Like A Hammer the second track was also released as video. A swirling keyboard mist wraps itself around the throbbing heart of bass, drums and guitars with vocal delivering the perfect Goth coup de grâce. A hammer to shatter any Goth dancefloor! Nice!
Feel The Cold – loving the new use of synths which just add another level of macabre magnificence, ascending the peaks of postpunk to new wave heaven. Epic! Tears and Cries – features the perfect horror film synths around the beating heart of drums, bass and guitars, the additional female vocals. This song is so good it would have been a hit in the 80s. Classic New Wave /Goth – Spooky! Stay Strange – sees the gothic rock power turned up to 13! A really great Goth rock anthem with infernal synths which transform into creepy, reminds me of the class of the classic Ghost album Infestissumam – Perfection!
Stiffs – the perfect Goth singalong track “If I can’t have have your soul Na na na na I can take, take your bones Na na na na” complete with creepy clown intermission at the end! Ace! Blind Eye – great tribal drumming akin to Southern Death Cult on occult acid! Possibly the best song Then Comes Silence has ever crafted. Close to music possession as you will get. A pure spectre of sound to smash the dancefloor! “Deep down in a nightmare” – Hell Yeah! The Masquerade – it’s like John Carpenter has been unleashed on Keyboards! This the perfect mix of darkwave and New Wave. What a great occult menacing themed spooky track. Love it!
Never Change – slithers through the aural cavities demanding your feet get stomping on the dancefloor. Love it! Dead Friend – has a strong goth punk vibe reminds me slightly of Iggy Pops blah Blah Blah on steroids but unmistakably the brilliance of Then Comes Silence. Epic! Runners – “We’re flying like bats Filling the sky”, yet another brilliant song with clever retro 80s sounding synths swirling round the throbbing drums and bass pierced sharp shards of guitars. Has ahibt of the heat 80s band Missing persons.
Beautiful! Ghost House – the prefect nightmare crescendo to bring the album to a close “Abandoned hearts, abandoned souls Abandoned love” spooktacular with hint ofThe Horrors Magnificent! Without a doubt one of my favourite albums this year and possible the best Goth/ New Wave album of 2024! Tom van Heesch has done a fantastic job with the mix. I can’t wait to see Then Comes Silence rocking Darkmas with these tracks in Witten along with The Foreign Resort and Raskolnikov not to mention a certain DJ De’Ath on the decks afterwards could be the perfect party this summer!

That was quite cool and bizarre. Had a last minute request to appear at a secret party. Everything was paid for including a fee on the condition that no pictures were taken on the trip or at the event. All I am allowed to reveal it was at a large private house with its own underground ballroom, it was a masked ball, somewhere in Europe and no other specific details can be revealed as part of my contract. The last time I did anything similar was a few years ago at a medieval castle in the middle of nowhere in Northumbria.

I saw a couple weeks ago by Mixcloud (no email sent from them) that to continue having the same access and sharing ability I would need to upgrade to PRO. It claims there is 70% off if I upgrade to PRO before the end of November. When you click in the link and select year pay annually the cost is €50 and I save €22/$22. So the full price if paid annually would be €72($135) 70 % of €72 = €50.40 so the price should be €21.60. They now have made this clear it is only for 3 months if you pay monthly. So €1.80($4.50) instead of €6.00($15.00). Total normal cost for a full year is $157 yearly or paid monthly $180 (more expensive compared to Euro figures usd to euro rate 0.97 19/11/22). As you can see based on Mixclouds currency conversion it looks like a rip off in dollars. Mixcloud is doing it as the business is no longer profitable in the old model due to hosting and paying royalties to artists.
Also my involvement in music is firstly based on the love of it, and the financial reward is the never the main point as nice as it is to get paid. The €72/$180 fee is money that I would not be spending on supporting bands. I appreciate you might be able to make money on Mixcloud but you need about a 1000 subscribers with the majority upgrading to the pay service at a current cost of €7.99 to maybe break even.
So if I don’t upgrade it will mean I will only be able to have the embedded music player on my website and to notify followers of new streams, shows and tracks. So sharing will be via my website. I will only be able to have a maximum of 10 active mixes otherwise I will not be able to upload any new ones. If I do nothing they say no mixes will be deleted.
So at the moment I am considering deleting 10 years of mixes and keep a few popular ones. I have all the mixes saved anyway. I have often had people complaining about mixcloud and I have noticed uploading has been a problem over the last 12-18 months along with loss in sound quality of mixes before they introduced the HQ for paid Pro. Recently I have been listening to 40 year old Chrome tapes on my Walkman and the quality is better than most streaming services. So if anyone wants a copy of an old mix leave me a message on this post and I will upload it to soundcloud for you to download free of charge as the bands would have had their royalties according to mixcloud. Most mixes don’t get a lot of play after 3 months so I can understand they take up space on mixclouds server.
Also one other pain the arse is uploading track listing and indexing. Very non user friendly especially deleting a track listed when something goes wrong in adjusting the track list. Mixcloud also adds irrelevant mixes into your play queue which is damn annoying especially when it is shit no-one has an interest in.
On this post I will capture the highlights of the mixes and the tracklist and artwork will still remain on my website.

As winter draws in and despite the Military success in Kherson, Ukraine faces a very tough winter due the primitive ruZZians deliberately destroying heating and power supplies along with drinking water supplies, which are all war crimes. Aid is getting through, but more is needed. Also while the crimes against humanity committed by ruZZian citizens dressed in military uniforms, are well documented. The Neanderthal, barbaric scum have been particularly brutal towards animals in Ukraine, killing cats, dogs, and cows for fun. They have even been torturing, killing and eating Zoo animals in Yampil such as two camels, a kangaroo, a bison, some piglets, birds and wolves. Animals and particularly those in zoos who were unable to flee from ruZZias Bombs and bullets will also be traumatised and may never fully recover.
The retreating ruZZians left plenty of traps for the military and civilians across Ukraine. One of the most popular is the “animal” trap. When one enters the room, one can hear the growling of a cat or a dog locked in a closet or cupboard. Such a person, knowing by instinct, immediately tries to free the animal, not knowing that opening the door or drawer will cause the detonation of the grenade inside.
