Hey,
man it has been quite a while since I listened to any of the good old shoegaze/DSBM/black metal stuff. But something always brings me back to it.
I just listened to some of the new stuff by Heretoir and Thränenkind. Their new styles do have nothing to do anymore with the style they had back in around 2008-2010 or something. :/ That dissapointed me a bit to be honest.
As it seems all the bands that used to have an unique Shoegaze/Black metal vibe either just became inactive or changed their style to something generic.
Is this just my impression or did this unique and beautiful style actually die as quick as it came to light?
I am talking about this unique style of bands like Thränenkind on their "Eine Momentaufnahme" release or the sounds of Shyy, Soliness or Onyro, or the first release of Heretoir. (obviously also Amesoeurs as a great example)
All these bands are easily stuck in my head but none of them seem to be still doing what they used to do.
Please someone teach me better and tell me this style didn't die.
