Subject: Ethereal Darkwave Category: Terminology/Sayings |
Darkwave has been used to specifically define an industrial sound coming out of Germany, the ethereal sounds of bands from the Projekt label, a well as serve as a generic term relating to dark music that is enclusive of everything that may be classified as industrial and gothic, and finally as a way of differentiating the more traditional Gothic Rock sounds from all other dark music that the gothic subculture listens to (all that which is goth except for rock sounding goth!). There are usually music-industry related reasons behind each definition...but that will be left among you to discuss amongst yourselves.
In this subcategory, the darkwave term is pared with ethereal to describe beautiful, soft music. This grouping encludes bands which captivate your mind, and create a soaring or ominous sensation within your spirit. Nothing harsh or aggressive here. Everything from angelic to sorrowful to romantic vocals, chants, tribal, and stong easatern (east of Europe) influence.
