Another classic. Shame they never got better than "Masked", which could really use a remastering... Saw these guys play out a couple of times for Nine Ways. The last show, Troy Payne (the singer) had a piece of gum stuck in his hair which bothered me in a very OCD way.
@198952572: Not necessarily anti-Christian. It could be sung from the point of view of a true Christian struggling to keep his faith, but plagued by doubt because of disillusionment with Churches and other corrupt institutions, the seeming absence of God in the world, and the sorry state of humanity. It happens sometimes.
yessss!what a song!THIS ROCKS!!!the WAKE is a totally underrated band!!!great tracks,great voice&the arrangements,the music is awesome!!!DeAtHRoCk at it`s B.E.S.T.!!!!! I played their tracks so many times at events and the crowd on the dancefloor goes wild and crazy!!!!thanks 4 the upload!!! They KILL with their tracks!!!greetz from vienna,dj SÜNDENFALL
For me, personally, Masked is one of the top 5 Goth albums ever produced. The music is good and it's relentlessly dark and atmospheric. I saw them in concert when they opened for the Electric Hellfire Club, and I was an instant convert. This is one of the most listened to albums in my (very large) music collection.
@Gloomshadow1 Most young kids that think their goth but they listen to metal which i really dont understand that part lol but i love old-school goth music i think its great ^-^
@Sw1tchback Punk? There is nothing punk about this band. Their name is "the wake", and just listening to it you can tell by the dark, otherworldly sound that it is goth.
@Gloomshadow1 Ha ha ha....That's funny , I am 16 and i know goth is not metal . How stupid can that kid be ha ha ...... but this music sounds goth to me ^-^
The vocals are very Sister-esque but people need to get out of the habit of calling ever goth band with deep vocals a Sister copy, because most of them aren't.
No, seriously -- search out Train by the Sisters of Mercy. They're not being called wannabes because of the vocal style, they're being called wannabes because it's THE SAME TUNE.
@WashougalDreamHouse Because the woman in question was my best friend at the time. She married Rob Brothers and had a kid with him. He, at one point choked her over a pack of cigarettes. I had to help her move to get her away from him. I can't hold it against the band though, it isn't their fault, and it has nothing to do with them. I still love their music. It's a style that's timeless. You could hear it twenty years from now and it would sound like it could be new.
It was my best friend whom he choked, and she told me, however, she had photographs taken at work the next day, he left multiple marks on her neck. The staff at her place of work saw those photographs, including me. She was a horrible mess following this incident, and she is not one to make up things. In fact she is quite trustworthy. He chased her around the house all night, basically terrorizing her even when she tried to avoid his presence altogether and go to sleep.
@navzryd69 innocent until proven guilty. I don't believe this allegation until i'm convinced with irreputable evidence not some flimsy indirect rumours. And if your "friend" had any believable evidence of domestic abuse , she should have taken it to the police and court not photograph her alleged wounds for her work collegues. sounds like someone with a personal greivance against the band making up bullshit/slander.
@MegaRapture WOW I can't believe that comment. OOOOkay dude. Believe whatever you want, just remind me not to come to you if I get assaulted. She HAD proof, and she lived with him, she had to move out. I did not know him until she began dating him, and I have nothing against the band what purpose would it serve me to make up such a story? I suggested they replace him, which they could do easily and remain just as good. Is everyone's attitude in the UK like that about abuse? I hope not.
@navzryd69 If what you say is so true , then why write her theory of events here? Why don't you do something constructive with all your alleged evidence? Why do you even assume people here are interested in his personal life according to you,?
@MegaRapture I do not assume anything. I feel that others deserve to be informed about someone they admire. Everything I am saying is public knowledge except for the abuse of his former wife. Just because you personally do not wish to know the truth does not mean that everyone agrees with you. I am giving others a choice...an alternative way to view this shitbag of a person. It was not my choice to prosecute him, it was HERS, and trust me I did all in my power to convince her to fight him.
@MegaRapture I personally did urge her to press charges on him. The custody issues involving their son she felt were a reason to refrain from doing so. I would have made sure he was as far away from myself and my son as I could have. If you choose to admire an abusive asshole, then nobody is stopping you, but you can stop calling me a liar. If it happened to your best friend or your mother or sister you would do the same thing so talk shit all you want.
@MegaRapture In addition, if it was a made up story how would I know the name of the person whom he married? Or that they had a child? Or that he lived in Grandview, Ohio with her? I can't remember the address right off hand but if necessary I can go drive the 4.7 miles to their old apartment and get that off the building. I MUST stress, AGAIN, this has nothing to do with the band at all. It is NOT slander if it actually happened, and what would the band have to do with Robert's actions?
@navzryd69 And if I were interested in making up stories I would make them better than that. They divorced over this, check public records and see if Rob got a divorce. HINT: Franklin County Ohio...It is a matter of PUBLIC record. Check it, he married MICHELE GOSNAY and they had a child and named him George, he was born several months premature due to a physical malformation in Michele's uterus. He had to spend several months at Children's Hospital here in Columbus.
@navzryd69 Has he been charged with the criminal offense you are suggesting he committed? or is all this just bullshit? Do you think you are in some kangaroo court?, this is you tube in case you were not aware.
fucking treble fucking awsum. goth goth or not goth who fucking cares. great track post punk circa 80-20009 the way i remember my idea of a post punk goth band well done'
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this isnt goth enough for me its totally unoriginal im so totally goth everybody else is a poser I still live with my mom and im 42 years old but I saw bauhaus everybody else is such a poser
You rock man!! who cares it's all about the music anyway , I would rater die, with good tunes in my head than in some bullshit mansion on the coast!!!
They ARE a Sisters clone. I mean check the guys vocal inflections,his posturing,the bass lines,the lyrical style--these guys have studied the sisters! That said,theyre pretty f#$%in' good.I mean,what the hell,Andrew Eldritch was always accused of ripping off Peter Murphy who was accused of ripping Bowie.And so it goes,round and round.Its Goth--its ALL imitation,really.
Pretty much. Its only once in a while you meet a band that has a unique vocal styling, and they're either female or someone nobody wants to talk about.
Great days!! Listening to the Masked album on the way to the latest goth club in my car. Mind you, that wasn't the only time I listened to it. I still do now!
I got this record, and I wouldn't say it's a classic! They're quite original though, and not a Sisters clone like everybody sez. In fact the singer sounds more like Simon D out the march Violets - which is pretty cool!
I wouldnt say its a classic either but I wont only upload classics (despite the nick). :)
I dont think theyre a Sister-clone either, their music sounds alot different then the sound the sisters went with but the singers voice reminsd me off sisters.
Yeah I find alot of time some of the more elitest Deathrockers tend to call anything that sounds vaguely like the Sisters or is New Wave a Sisters Clone.
