Came across this while bouncing around the new feed on band camp the other day. Wasn’t an artist that I was familiar with. But obviously not a new artist either. As they were doing a massive dump. Basically putting all their work up on band camp, later checking YouTube as well.
Musically if you are familiar, this artist reminds me a lot of the merciful nuns or garden of delight. Absolutely solid goth Rock if it’s something you like. Definitely worth taking a look at.

To me, the use of Bandcamp itself was a discovery a year or two ago. In the mid to late 2000s, MySpace was where everyone shared their music, so the natural progression from that seemed to be all the other social media platforms, YouTube, and maybe the streaming services. I never would have thought to look for the music on a website that’s not any of those things, and yet Bandcamp is like the new MySpace for goth music these days!
Oh yeah I definitely remember the Myspace days back in the early 2000s. Shortly after I got out of college. Myspace was a good place for promotion and discoverability. Even got some artists signed to larger labels. Anyone remember porcelain and the tramps? Sadly it didn’t work out well for them in the end.
Bandcamp though really seems to have done a lot to democratize publication and sales. No need to get signed. A lot of the newer artists I’ve found all have solid band camp sites. Or are only on band camp. Definitely a good move for red moon macabre in my estimation at least. Hopefully getting him more attention. I’d say it’s well deserved. I know myself and a couple of my Elder goth acquaintances have been enjoying it since I ran across it.
