10. London After Midnight (LAM)

Regarded as the main new generation of Goth Rockers, this musical task may be the idea of mastermind Sean Brennan, songwriter, lyricist and multi instrumentalist. LAM lifted inside '90s, in the LA music scene, particularly, the plethora of location Rock and Goth groups, with a dark, enchanting but political vibe that no-one else had in the Goth scene.

9. Christian Death

Deathrock visionary Rozz Williams produced Christian Death in 1979, within the cities of Pomona and Claremont, just outside the angst, fury and hostility of old school LA/OC hardcore punk scene. The band's title, morbid manner style, and sound made a direct effect very nearly straight away. The easy, however slower punk riffs did actually fit with Christian Death's obsession with black colored garments, skulls and religious iconography. Williams ended up being a performer also a vocalist bringing cathartic overall performance art alive together with dark, depressing and macabre music. Christian Death's first album,

Just Theater of Pain

(1982) practically place the United states Deathrock scene on map.

But, the band separated less after the record arrived on the scene, and in 1983 Williams revived the Christian Death moniker with Los Angeles musician Valor Kand. This type of Christian Death introduced the albums disaster dancing (1984) and Ashes (1985), which featured both Rozz Williams and Valor Kand. Some examine these records is precursors of this American Goth activity. Through many years of infighting, drug abuse, fall into line changes, and disagreements, Williams left the musical organization he created initially, while Kand continued going. Williams in the course of time went on to many other music projects, along with his own version of Christian Death, however in the middle '90s, he lost the protection under the law towards name to Kand in judge. Sadly, in 1998 after years of medication addictions, Williams was discovered lifeless, by apparent suicide. But Kand's form of Christian Death nonetheless defiantly marches on, even today having released twelve records in the last 30 years, which have woven experimental, electronic, black colored material and doom steel in to the Goth sound and style. Though today numerous purists however flock to your songs, poetry, art and tragedy regarding the first and initial incarnation Christian Death and its particular true mastermind, Rozz Williams. Suffice it to say, both variations for the band with the same title and a troubled last, are necessary to the development and legacy of Goth music.
