[pitt8incher]

blossoms floating on the face of the lake marks the watery grave of the fair Ophelia

currents moving moats that fly between the light dancing thru the sound of angels singing aloud and rushing on and on. ??? Flowers falling into the rippling lake covering the evidence of the fair Ophelia

Humming ringing whirpools moving roots of white,weighing down limbs in velvet sinking down and singing on and on

[ImmortalChaos]

Lydia Fortner is so beautiful

[sonofdark18]

[Darkicity]

[Forestmountains1]

The Shroud is by far one of my favorite bands. It's ashame how most people don't appreciate music like this, especially nowadays...

[CoryTheRaven]

*sniff* I miss the 90's...

[premyslovci]

[birinbirinbirin]

@JustinOsbo yeah we all know that. and hello

[powerr8511]

[Gloomshadow1]

@powerr8511 yes, eu lembro quando era nova essa musica..sinto faulta das 90s. Only thing close to this now is Amy Lee.

We should have done it a long time ago.

[MaraDemonge]

beautiful!

[Dr490n]

god damn i love this fucking band.

[LokiFreign]

You children are too poorly educated to be allowed to classify songs of this sort. Please dive toward concrete when next contemplating sharing your thoughts on the internet. No; I mean it. Dive directly toward concrete; it will be of greater use to the species.

[Kaatbad]

This is more Romanesque than Gothic IMO.

[PsychoKungFu]

stfu this is gothic u fucking retards

[solononame]

Te lo diré en español a ver si entiendes:

No creo que sea mi culpa tu falta de criterio y que no sepas clasificar géneros musicales.

Creo que mmmm retardado un poco eres. Ni siquiera podrías procesar este idioma que es superior.

No es mi intención ofenderte.

Saludos.Cuidate. :-)

[gothicsmile]

La clasificaciones en la mayoría de los casos son subjetivas, todo depende de la perspectiva del individuo, la mayoría de los góticos de la vieja escuela encontrará esto gótico y muchos quienes no lo son lo clasificarán de otra manera, es toda una pérdida de tiempo discutir los géneros y más por internet.

[solononame]

this band is not just "gothic" its more ethereal-oriented. But In the Garden sounds like.......trip-hop

[birinbirinbirin]

ethereal is goth fool

[solononame]

Ethereal Wave is not Gothic!!!

What a mistake! I'm just impressed! It's a question of musical education.

[birinbirinbirin]

@solononame ethereal is goth fyi its a subgenre of darkwave which is goth. so the goth record labels even promote that genre so how can you tell me it isnt. listen to the bands like lycia and autumns grey solace thats straight up goth fool

[ashleybound]

I love this group. They are more than just "goth", they're an etheral soundscape reminding me of Sisters of mercy and Rosetta Stone

[TheBlackenedWHITE]

i just can't stop listening to this song :D this rocks xD

[JanderVK]

Lydia Fortner will forever be my Gawth Goddess....

[Tekelt]

Sorry, but I have to say Patricia Morrison any day, m8 :)

[LusterOfDarkness]

I like this song,gives me the 80's vibe,

some good singing and an attractive

lead singer. I'm going to listen to more

of these guy's stuff,I've never actually heard of their stuff until now,keep them coming.

[BABULABUCAT]

They do an amazing version of red over white

[bohemenmann]

Beautiful, ethereal song and video.

[ausphexx]

good oldschool gothic.

[theenside]

this is a good song this and the song spectre are at the end of propaganda video magazine blood countess issue.I still have it somewhere on vhs.

[rawnnie]

Was there even any video for "Green Velvet"? That is by far one of my favourite songs from this unique and amazing band.

[Miltonnewyork]

cool song

[ImmortalChaos]

She's beautiful

[trogus2]

bless you for this!!!!!!!!

[DocktorHelena311]

Wow, this gave me chills.

I've never heard of this band before, but after seeing this, I'm certainly going to look into them.

[manaker067]

bellisimo n_n

[missspiggie]

could you put up "Black" please.

[kakosuranosx]

Do you have the videos to "Pandora" and "The One"?

[AntiMusick]

they don't have videos for those, there might have been plans for one for 'Pandora', but it never got made, I do have some raw footage of their photo shot session for 'In The Garden' but the video tape is damaged.

[kakosuranosx]

Thanks so much for the information. I LOVE this band!

[totaldestruction]

Thanks a lot for this video, it must be a forgotten treasure!

[rawnnie]

Love this band, her voice is so atmospheric I feel.

[ALB1937]

One of the best bands/voices of all time! Damn, it makes me feel old to see this video again, but it's a good feeling...

[captkurtpitt]

is there still a goth scene?

[PullusPardus]

Yes ... underground mostly

[cfreyja23]

IMHO, she is the only female goth singer (aside from the classics) who can actually sing really well. I've always loved her talent.

[WTAdair]

I thought that this band was originally from Fresno, CA. I knew this guy that used to work at All That Video (a movie- rental place) in Visalia, Ca, and he had several pics of himself with the band and he told me they were out of Fresno.

[ALB1937]

Yes, I believe that you are correct. I've read that they were from Fresno,CA. In fact, I read that they still are?

[hitmanmoke]

i remember getting really into this band in high school after hearing one of their songs on a cleopatra records sampler. it's a shame there isn't any more music like this in the goth scene these days. . .

[bigstrongboss]

This is the kind of earthereal music that was mixed in when I was a goth club goer.I may have heard them and didn't even know it.I wish there was more music like this as well.

[not2worryallnall]

i think the shroud is one of my favorite gothic bands. thank you for posting.

[narziss39]

Great! Any chance you could post the rest of the Propaganda videozines in their entirety?

[shadow27b]

I still remember my friend turning me onto The Shroud and Requiem in White back in '92. If I got nothing ese out of college I got that.

Great video thanks for sharing.

[crimsonlife]

Does anyone have the Roses song? please send.

[Danny0Kitten0Braden]

i have it, if you give me you e-mail i will be glad to send it to you.

[mildredwinter]

please send me pixy-led!

[satarnag]

Lydia has such a beautiful voice. I used to play her CDs at night just so that I can go to sleep. I also ran into her a few times when she was working at Hot Topic in Fresno. She was very pleasant person and very down to Earth. I hope she is doing well.

[AugDawg1980]

Lydia now teaches a bellydance troupe in Fresno. The group is called Tanjora, and I believe there are a few vids on here of her dancing if you search for "Tanjora".

[aikbajen]

I love this band and she is sooo beautiful.

[AntiMusick]

just watch it on here.

[Unicorngirl]

They made such beautiful music.

[patotubes]

[edgarviedma]

i hope someone will post a This Ascension video they are as great as The Shroud. Thank you for posting this video.

[AntiMusick]

I've got some really old poor quality live performance of This Ascension from the early 1990s on video.

[edgarviedma]

can you post them i think i have them also on vhs but dont know excatly how to post them.you should do it just to support the band they are great.

[mildredwinter]

i cant stop watching it over and over!!

[jkantarakis]

I thought I'd never see these videos again! I lost my VHS copy Lydia had made for me. There are some great out-takes from these vids as well. What a surprise! Cheers

[Larvarie]

Excelente

[SiouxsiesBanshee]

Really good. I never heard of this band before but I happened upon the link through a Siouxsie video. Gotta love youtube for that

[hkp49018]

ho ho yeah

[izturis]

duh you don't have the propaganda video??

[Gladstonebhz]

Great! is my muse! Belo trabalho! it would like to see more works in it you tube. Ganhou um admirador no Brasil!

[nephling]

Thank you for the Shroud videos, I am on a chat/mailing list about them on which people talk about their videos and I have been longing to see them! They are as wonderful as I thought they might be.

[skwyd]

I remember this band's first show. In fact, I remember before they were The Shroud. Who said that good gothic music never came from the Central Valley of California?

I don't think they did any videos other than the couple from their first demo release. At least I haven't seen any...

[AntiMusick]

yes they were called The Shroudettes and there is a video of one of there first performances... but even years before that there is a performance of the singer Lydia doing cover songs of Siouxsie at a HS talent show. I call that group 'Nothing Obscene', If I find that tape I'll try to get it on here.

[skwyd]

That would be awesome to see the tape with Lydia from HS on it!!! I remember going to one or two Shroudettes shows. I think I even had a sticker on my car. That was a good time in my life.

[izturis]

don't forget This Ascension!

[deviancy]

Cool.. I didn't even know they had videos...
