Gothika – Zeit:Geist

Releasedate: 23-10-2009; Label: Danse Macabre
By: Nina Mende

Gothika is an extreme heterodoxy group in present music scene. Digital sound which is exactly constructed by synthesizer and mechanical instrument doesn’t narrow their music but expands the width of freedom which is not caught in an existing category. Pop melody line like 80’s new wave or new romantics and decadent world like industrial or gothic music are involved in their sound. Vocalist andro’s immoral lyrics that are deeply related to perverted sexual experience administer the tablet to the people who hold sickness in mind.

The melodies on the album are very catchy and the electro beat very thriving. The vocals are quite irritating though because they are not always in English. But for those who are not irritated by the weird sound of the language this album will be a wonderful dance electro album. Interesting and catchy melodies combined with a gothic dark touch build up a picture. The duo takes turns in singing. An odd album and unfortunately I can’t say I like it. But I am sure there are quite some people who would like it.
