Gothic artists on Bandcamp

27 independent artists in this guide.

A note from this shelf

Raise the black flag and turn up the darkness: Slippery When Wet conjures downtempo experimental electronica from guitars alone — zero effects, pure Arizona monsoon energy — on Storm the Spectrum. Fear Incorporated haunt the European Alternative Charts once more with their reissued gothic post-punk rollercoaster Phobos, while their blazing new EP Fahrenheit 451 scorches ears with Bradbury-fueled dystopian dread. Voodoo Bible unleash cyber-electro-industrial mayhem on Clockwork Armageddon, and Sensory Savage fuse dark electronica and post-punk into their ominous cyberdelic sound on Be As Gods. Dark Sinfonia conjure vengeful hanged men and vanishing spirits on Incantations, their macabre dark folk journey into legend and lore.
