Deathrock Bands and Artists List
Deathrock (or death rock) is a subgenre of rock music that merges punk rock with gothic and glam rock visuals, alongside elements of horror film scores. Often overlapping with, and sometimes considered a subgenre of, gothic rock, the genre was pioneered by bands from the early 1980s Los Angeles punk scene, including Christian Death, Kommunity FK, 45 Grave and the Super Heroines.
By the middle of the decade, the genre had begun to interact with the United Kingdom's gothic rock scene, leading to the formation of English deathrock bands like Sex Gang Children and Alien Sex Fiend though the scene quickly declined and its name largely fell out of use. By the late 1990s, a revival of the genre began with groups like Bloody Dead and Sexy, the Phantom Limbs and Tragic Black expanding the scope of the genre to include elements of psychobilly, electronic body music and futurepop.
