Imagine a friend asked you for a playlist of your 5 favourite tracks to introduce them to industrial/darkwave/goth/ebm/etc. Which ones would you choose? They don’t have to be genre-defining or from foundational bands, just ones you enjoy the most.
These would be mine:
Skinny Puppy - Assimilate
Fields of the Nephilim - The Watchman
Wumpscut - Totmacher
Faith and the Muse - Annwyn, Beneath the Waves
Youth Code - For I am Cursed
What are yours?
Gary Numan - I can’t breathe
Covenant - dead stars
Night Club - Miss Negativity
Night Sins - the lowest place you’ll go
Zanias - Follow the body
The Cure’s hanging garden is definitely up there as well. LOL, it’s hard to stop at just five with it being such a diverse range of styles and artists.
