#021 - Bella Morte

From America, more precisely from Charlottesville, Virginia, comes a gothic industrial combo called Bella Morte (I think this translates to Beutiful Death which is actually their latest album also). I've always had little problems with this whole gothic thing. Most of the time these bands just sounds so fake. Everything is so "bloody" dark and gloomy. And at the same time you're so transparently populist.

Founded already 1996 has a lot more industrial elements in their sound on their earlier releases. Latest offerings unfortunately contains much less samplings and they sound more and more just another gothic rock band. And I have to say that I'm not surprised why HIM is so big in America. This is just again just another gothic nail to that coffin that that one day will be buried and maybe then they won't rise anymore.

The earlier records sounds little bit better, but still that gothic twist ruins everything..
