Brotherhood - ...Turn The Gold To Chrome...: Brotherhood's debut is one of those albums that everyone who likes to hear gothic rock sound from the glorious days taking it's modern form and being played in the top notch manner, should just grab it. Read a review HERE. Link: Website


Opera Diabolicus - †1614: Symphonic, black, doom and much more other metal genres in one exquisite metal opera. Fans of Candlemass, King Diamond, Therion, Dimmu Borgir,... have another top act which deserves to be carefully followed. Read a review HERE. Link: Website


Red Sun Revival - Running From The Dawn: One of the most emotional and profound gothic rock releases of 2012. Red Sun Revival's debut is beautiful and smooth, adventureous and warm, still cold in it's core. Read a review HERE. Link: Website


Saturnus - Saturn In Ascension: There is a lot going on in this album, it's a slow sinking into some of the most melancholic and grim spaces that have ever been discovered with the sole music. It's slow, melodic, yet brutal and dark, yes, very dark. Read a review HERE. Link: Website


The 69 Eyes - X: Helsinki Vampires are back! With their latest release, X, they brought us the sound of the respected Paris Kills and spiced it up with some lighter, catchier tones. X is a release that holds a real gothic touch, alongside with passionate vocals by Jyrki69 and some heavy guitars as well. Dark, atmospheric, passionate - everything a goth n roll album is supposed to be. Read a review HERE. Link: Website

Therion - Les Fleurs Du Mal: Album that consists of covers of old French chansons and pop songs in symphonic metal version in pure extravagant Therion manner. Swedish maestro Christofer Johnsson and co. showed once again an amazing talent, this time with re-arrangement of those songs. Link: Website
