Possibly my favorite band. Though founded in 1994 their sound seems like it was ripped from the 80s deathrock scene. Most similar to Virgin Prunes and Sex Gang Children. Vocalist Lucas Lanthier is often compared to Andi Sexgang. Brothers Mik and Daniel Ribiat are skilled at their instruments and blend perfectly with Lanthier's vocals (somehow). Check out their website and look at some of the song meanings and interviews. Heavily inspired by various fantasy and horror items both in literature and the media. Their live shows are a blend of theater art and concert. Unique take on deathrock fashion, eerie cow masks for no reason, odd props, loads of strange dancing, the whole 9 yards. Refreshingly original and bordering on pleasant insanity.
Starter Songs: "Speak Marauder", "Hebenon Vial", "Greensward Grey"
