As it SHOULD be!

The more miserable the musician, the better the music.

I need to dig in I think. I do like some goth tinged stuff. Unto Others is one of my newest favorites (though not miserable) and probably not much in common with PL other than certain influences maybe?

I haven’t heard about Unto Others before but just watched one of their videos on YouTube. I don't really hear much similarity to Paradise Lost. Maybe both bands draw some inspiration from goth rock like Sisters of Mercy, but while the song I heard from Unto Others sounded a bit like a Halloween version of The Ramones (I don't mean that in a negative way at all, I actually liked the song), Paradise Lost are more rooted in doom metal. However, they have undergone many style changes in their long career and have even sounded like a bad-tempered version of Depeche Mode at times. In recent years, however, they have returned to their doom and death metal roots.

Anyway, thanks for the tip. I'll definitely listen to a few more songs from Unto Others.

They are pretty Cure if they like 80s metal. Very baritone goth on the vocal delivery. They do a cover of Pet Semetary and it fits them quite nicely! I have a weird affinity for goth if it's something I like, though I am super not into it if it doesn't hit me the right way off the bat? This is the song I first heard from them



Bad tempered Depeche Mode actually sound awesome

[…] Bad tempered Depeche Mode actually sound awesome

Love me some Depeche Mode! Their live album 101 is definitely an essential part of the soundtrack of my late childhood /early youth.
