I've just recently got into the amazing gothic rock band from the UK called Witching Hour. After lurking about their last.fm page a little, I found out there's ALSO a blackened thrash metal band under the same name, formed many years later in Germany.
Like every other last.fm page that's dedicated to numerous, highly different bands under the same name, there's this petty yet never-ending argument between goths and metalheads about which one is better. I haven't found a good statement of why either one is better/worse than the other yet, so I decided to take up the challenge of figuring it out myself.
I'm going to review an album by each band and put them in one post with the conclusion of which one is actually more entertaining for me. This will be an honest review from someone who used to be devoted to black/thrash (..well, still am, in fact, I'm just not a closeminded fuckwit like I used to be) and became quite fond of gothrock, I don't think I've ever said it was purely a metal blog, after all. It's a personal blog about what I like, music being in this case.
Keep an eye for it. Not sure when the reviews will be done, but it'll be considered as soon as I bother finding and listening to any EP/Full length by the German band.
