 GLOD (aka G.L.O.D. God Loves Over Dose) officially began around 1988 and consisted of Frank107 on vocals,

effects and manipulations, David Martin samplers and keyboards and Michael Dead on stick guitar.
A couple of home-recorded tapes were put out in limited editions,

the first being "23V" and the second being "The Gold Tape".

Around that time Frank, Shelley Soma and Mike Dead began to put out the self-published booklets,

on each solstice and equinox, which later became known as "Glod Propaganda".

As work commenced on the self-titled first LP, which was initially put out as a limited edition on marbelized clear vinyl,

then later on CD with additional tracks, GLOD coalesced into a coherent sonic endeavor

comprised of Frank, David, Mike and SSoma as a percussionist and auxillary vocalist.

Wolfgang joined late in the production, in time to make it on the CD as a second percussionist for the song "Sacriscar".
Their first CD was an exploration of sound and texture in a ritualistic format,

with not much regard for commerciality or the numerous technical obstacles which confronted the band members.

At the same time their early live performances quickly gained them attention with their occult symbolism,

ritualistic drumming, body manipulations and usage of blood sacrifice.
After the release of the first CD, Mike Dead departed the band, choosing to pursue his own path.
Also the band upgraded their home studio equipment, played some live dates around the US

(including some in the Midwest with Ordo Equitum Solis) and produced a video titled "A Private Release",

which was a sort of documentary to the events which centered around the making of the first CD.
With work on the new CD underway, GLOD signed on with the Italian label Musica Maxima Magnetica,

which also re-released the first CD in Europe.

For "Gnosis" GLOD worked with guitarist Dreike, Wolfgang shifted from drums to bass guitar

and a new drummer, Xian, was joined from the Detroit percussive band Batterie Acid.

On the visual side, Frank and SSoma produced the cover artwork and text.
"Gnosis" is a more coherent elaboration of the gnostic state that the band explored with their first release.

It explores ritualistically styled old elegies using the interplay of violin, trumpet and kettledrums 

juxtaposed with sublimely textured samples, non-traditional guitar and aggressive bass.
Weaving seductive rhythms, psychedelia-tinged trance laden with atavistic percussion and ecstatic vocal chants.
The compilations "Magnetic Submission" and the Charnel Music release "Arrhythmia III" followed.
By 1996 GLOD started working on their third CD that saw the light of day in 1999 under the title "Babe In Abyss".

Brotherhood Of Pagans began playing their first live gigs in 1991,

but it was during the course of 1993 that they started to make themselves known,

thanks principally to the beginning of a their relationship with the French label Darkland Of Tears.
Among other things, this enabled them to provide support for Corpus Delicti at a concert in Nice,

and to appear at a Festival in Dorsten (Germany) in front of 800 people.
This collaboration with Darkland Of Tears further allowed Brotherhood Of Pagans to participate on numerous compilation,

firstly those on the Darkland label such as "Cold Tears" and "Gothicland",

then on compilations produced by other re-known labels like "Goth Box" by Cleopatra, and "Death By Dawn" by Appolyon.
Their first album finally appeared in March 1995 under the title "Tales Of Vampires" and was an immediate success.
Unfortunately at the peak of it’s glory, the band split following the departure of bassist Elrik.
Elrik later joined the band Disorder and also Alien decided to focus on his solo project under the name Alien Marteens.
In 2006, Vox, Coccs and Sailor decided to head for the studio in order to start working on a new album entitled "Only Once".
In 2007 the first track of the album, also called "Only Once" was featured on the Str8line compilation "Movement One".
"Only Once" was finally released in 2009 through Alone Prod exploring various musical influences

that the remaining members of Brotherhood Of Pagans had gathered through the past years

and also featured a cover version of the track "Resurrection" from their first album.

Subterfuge was formed in 1993 by Clifford Ennis along with Rick Mullen and Brendan Toull in Melbourne, Australia.

Although involved musically together since 1987-88 it wasn’t until 1993 that started to take the whole thing more seriously.
They began work on a 4 track demo tape, briefly recruited a 4th member (Jonathan Mee)

and the self-titled demo tape saw the light of day in September 1993.
One gig at a private party for a newly opened record shop in Melbourne called Heartland Records followed

in December before they started working again as a 3-piece band after they discarded with Jonathan’s services.
On the strength of that live show and the demo tape, they were approached by Heartland Records to release a MCD.
In 1994 after a gig that they played as a 3 piece Brendan left the band and Clifford and Rick decided to continue as a duo

and started working on their debut MCD "Darkland Awakening".
Work on the MCD finished in March and it was released the following month to very favorable reviews.
For the remainder of 1994 Subterfuge played live in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane promoting the MCD.
The time was perfect for an album to capitalize on the success, sadly though, a follow up did not eventuate.
Between 1995 and 1997 they sporadically played live around Melbourne while releasing songs on various compilations.
Subterfuge became less active as the years passed, however Clifford stayed involved in the scene.

 In 1996 he created the project Jerusalem Syndrome, a collaboration band with Chris McCarter of Ikon.
He also joined Ikon and played guitar with them and later created the side project Razorfade 

this time with Mark Tansley from UK goth band Suspiria.
In May 2013 a Subterfuge CD album entitled "Reflect<<Rewind" was released on European label, Strobelight Records.
This was a comprehensive collection containing 16 tracks, including unreleased songs and mixes plus some demos.
in 2016 Clifford found himself back in the studio recording brand new material

and in March 2017 a new album entitled "Blind To Reason" was released.
One third of the album is co-written with Rick Mullen thus essentially keeping the 90s duo alive.
2019 saw a return to the studio and a new CD EP entitled "Heat" was released on 2nd April 2020.

Their first gig was performed at the Turk's Head in Richmond and soon they went on to play at Scream and Club Dead Zone

 which were both held at the Camden Underworld and supported bands such as Nosferatu and The Marionettes.
In 1992 D.B eventually left the band due to differences and was replaced with Alex Winton on keyboards.
Also in the same year, a self-produced vinyl EP called "Hourglass" was released to high acclaim.

To promote the EP, they continued to gig, supporting such bands as The Dream Disciples and London After Midnight.
In 1994 Alex left the band to pursue other interests and replaced by the third and final keyboard player, Ash.
1994 also saw the release of the second EP "She's Alive" and the band's first album "Exhumation".
Due to irreconcilable differences things went bad with Ash and he was asked to leave,

with Trevor and Alys continuing to gig as a two piece.
New songs were written and a new album was planned, but this never materialized

due to financial problems and in 1997 Witching Hour disappeared from the scene.
In 2006, after a very long hiatus, Trevor and Alys agreed to play live at a private Halloween party

and this pretty much triggered their official return.
The renewed interest in the band was very positive,

which led finally to their back catalogue being digitally remastered and re-released.
New gigs followed, including a couple of spots at The Purple Turtle in Camden

and at an all-day goth festival in Birmingham.
This also led to Witching Hour playing in Madrid with The Eternal Fall.
In October 2011, the band finally released their second album "Raven",

to coincide with a live performance supporting the band Pretentious, Moi? at Nambucca in Islington, London.
There were plans for more gigs, more releases and more promo videos, but since then no news have surfaced.

Desire to walk further didn't stop and in 1995 the first Weltschmerz CD "Symptômes De Ruine" was released,

on Duman's own label L'Alternative Dramatique.
The album sounded much better than the demo and received positive reviews.
Also Monumentum's first singer Mark Westfall participated in the release

as a guest vocalist on the Rosemary's Baby cover "See Woman See Human".
Nevertheless Duman decided to freeze Weltschmerz.
In 1996, he was welcomed as a bassist on the band Canaan and helped composing and recording two albums with them.
In 1998 Duman together with Mauro Berchi (aka Prejudice) recorded the first version

of the song "Colore Di Pioggia E Di Ferro" for the "Dissolution Fahrenheit" compilation.

guitarist Mauro Berchi (aka Prejudice), drummer Andrea Freschi (aka Indifference),

keyboardist Alberto Valdonio (aka Malice) and guest singer Arianna (aka Desire).

entitled "Capitale De La Douleur" that was released in 2001 on Eibon Records.

Moon Lore was formed in 1992 by Peter Pendragon.
He recorded the first two track demo using a brand new Fostex 4-track, a guitar,

a Boss drum machine, a cheap microphone and a borrowed delay pedal.
The demo was released into the tape trading underground in 1993.
After the release of the demo he started elaborating on the more gothic influenced track on the cassette, “There Again...”.
This resulted in a rehearsal tape and a demo created in 1994.
After receiving a lot of positive feedback on his releases he signed a deal with Avantgarde in 1995,

and went to studio to record his first album entitled "The Spheres Beneath The Heavens".
He found the recording studio, Frogner Lydstudio, through the yellow pages and started recording in the summer of 1995.
When "The Spheres Beneath The Heavens" was completed

Avantgarde licensed the rights of the album to the German label Malicious Records.
This caused the album to stay unreleased until 1997

and also was the last release for Malicious Records before they went defunct.
After the recording of the album Pendragon started to work with new material,

drawing even more on the gothic influence, with bands such as Christian Death, and The Sisters Of Mercy.
This led to the 1996 demo, "Sleeping With The Dead".
From 1997 and onwards Moon Lore became mostly an electronic band,

using a variety of synthesizers, drum machines and samplers.
In 2000 he used for the first time a PC for recording and made "Demo 2000", limited to 20 copies.
In the period between 2000-2003, now with some proper recording software in his hands,

Pendragon started re-vitalizing the metal part of Moon Lore.
In 2002 he also wrote the music for Maria Vennerød's play "Meir", performed at Det Norske Teatret.
In 2003 after a period of six month recording process

he released the two track demo "Two Evil Eyes", as a CD-r with a professionally printed cover.
After this release Pendragon focused on other band projects (Råte, Mök)

but he still kept on working on Moon Lore from time to time.

In 2007 he released the track "Her Essence" for the Norsk Urskog compilation CD.

In this period he also tried to revitalize Moon Lore as a full line-up live band,

but the band took had already took its own course and morphed into something quite different.

Christian Death is an American gothic rock band formed in Los Angeles County, California, in 1979

by Rozz Williams (November 6, 1963 – April 1, 1998) when he joined by guitarist Rikk Agnew of the band Adolescents,

James McGearty on bass guitar and George Belanger on drums.
This line-up was responsible for producing the band's best known work,

their 1982 debut album "Only Theatre Of Pain", which was highly influential

in the development of the style of music known as deathrock, as well as on the American gothic scene.
The original band broke up in 1983 amid band infighting and drug abuse.
Williams assembled a new version of the band later that year by merging with another L.A. rock band, Pompeii 99.
This lineup included guitarist Valor Kand, vocalist/keyboardist Gitane Demone and drummer David Glass.

The new version of the band recorded their next two albums,

"Catastrophe Ballet" (1984) (with bassist Constance Smith) and "Ashes" (1985) (with bassist Randy Wilde).
Following the release of the band's third album, "Ashes", in 1985, Williams left the band

and was controversially replaced by Valor as frontperson, with no original members of the band remaining.
At one point during the 1990s there were two bands with the name Christian Death.
During the late 1980s, while also recording as Shadow Project, Williams 

resurrected his own version of Christian Death,with his wife Eva O contributing guitar as well as vocals.

Billing themselves as the original Christian Death, they were rejoined by first guitarist Agnew for a 1989 tour on Canada.
The band was signed to Cleopatra Records, and released "The Iron Mask" and the "Skeleton Kiss" EP in 1992,

"The Path Of Sorrows" in 1993, and "The Rage Of Angels" in 1994, all under the Christian Death name.
A 1993 show featuring Only Theatre Of Pain-era members Williams, Agnew and Belanger (along with bassist Casey Chaos)

performing live at Los Angeles' Patriot Hall was recorded and later released in 2001 as a DVD by Cleopatra Records.
Williams' reclamation of the Christian Death name sparked a fierce battle with Kand.

However, Kand already had the rights to the name due to Williams' departure and subsequent neglect of the moniker.

Williams consequently billed his version of the band as Christian Death Featuring Rozz Williams.

After this, Williams' version would not release another full album of original material

and he went on to pursue other projects before committing suicide on April 1, 1998.
Valor's Christian Death continued performing and recording, releasing 12 studio albums since 1985.

Only one album was released in 1994 on Sacrum Torch label entitled "Music From The Rituals Of The New Poison" 

with the music been composed and performed by Lisa Hammer and Eric Hammer.

13 Candles was born in 1992.
Their debut album "Come Out Of The Dark" was released via Nightbreed Recordings in late 1995
and it was while gigging in support of the album as special guests to Cradle Of Filth on their "Dusk And Her Embrace" tour, that they were asked to sign with Cacophonous Records.
The result of this union was the album "Angels Of Mourning Silence" that was released in 1997.
After a brief UK tour however, the band parted company with vocalist Louis Holloway and took a short break to regroup.
They returned in 1998 with new vocalist Danny J. Finch and drummer Paul Mackey.
Soon after, they entered Academy Studios to create the album "Killing For Culture".
Upon its official release on Def2Music in 2003, "Killing For Culture" showcased a heavier direction for the band
with hard rock metallic riffs and industrial strength rhythms joining forces
alongside the established gothic elements that were long associated with the band.
Since then 13 Candles has been playing their own headline shows and making festival appearances nationwide.
