E34: Nine Inch Nails - Part 1

GothCast

Show Notes

We present this week’s episode in which we discuss none other than Nine Inch Nails. Are we aware that Nine Inch Nails are not exactly a goth band? Certainly! However, we believe it goes without saying that their music has played a large role in the subculture and many goths do listen to Nine Inch Nails. Thus, we begin our exploration of their career with their first three studio albums, (along with what we feel is an essential EP to discuss) Pretty Hate Machine (1989), Broken (1992), Downward Spiral (1994), and The Fragile (1999).

This time Cameron and Dr.Sanders finish their retrospective on The Sisters of Mercy. This shows the ups and downs of the band as they release Floodland, Vision Thing, and make some weighty promises as time marches on. We seek to answer the question...why is there still no new album in 2026?

It's time to revisit one the best known goth bands of all time...The Sisters of Mercy. I previously covered them about 10 years ago and thought it would be interesting to take a fresh look at a band with a legacy unlike many others. Led by Andrew Eldritch with the assistance of both man and machine, it's a journey both unique and winding as the creative control and rockstar lifestyles shape the way they interact with the world. Cameron and I take a look at their formation and up to the release of First and Last and Always in 1985 with a little bit of the continuing history.

This weeks subject is spooky cartoons. It was a backup topic as Cameron and Noah ending up being preoccupied this week. I sorta went in and out of the subject as the show went on and took some comments from the audience. So it's a kinda strange episode as far as structure. It's a bit of a ramble. Hope you enjoy regardless.
